Thank you for your support!

Well guys, it's been 1 year since the Perfect Trim Ruler was introduced! I have to say a special thank you to all of my supporters. This year on National Scrapbook Day, I watched videos from morning 'til night and what an inspiration! Kathy Orta from Paper Phenomenon has started another new, fun project called Photo Fun Keepsake Box. She uses the ruler here.

Kathryn at Kathryn Scraps also uses the ruler in her newest project The Garden Lattice Box. This was a cute project she did in her Ustream class on National Scrapbook Day. You can purchase the tutorial on her website. As I understand it, the tutorial includes video instruction.

Ginger at MySistersScrapper also has some great tutorials on YouTube. Check out her demo of the ruler here.

Again, thank you all for your continued interest in my ruler!

First of all, I would like to announce that the ruler now being shipped is Version 2 of my Perfect Trim ruler. I removed a couple lines that I did not use, and added a 3/16" line and a 1/4" line. I believe the changes will make the ruler even better!

Also, if you would like to see a demo of this ruler, check out this highlight from a recent class by Kathy Orta at Paper Phenomenon. I would like to say a very special thank you to Kathy for doing such a great job demonstrating the ruler in her Ustream classes. She also has fantastic tutorials available on her website. They are very detailed and easy to follow.

I thought I would like to share this album with  you. I made it with the Sophistication pattern from Kathy Orta at Paper Phenomenon. I used the "Celebrate" Line of Paper from Authentique Paper.

New Postage Rates!

Sorry, but it seems we have had another increase in postage. U.S. postage increased by a small amount, but International shipping has doubled! The prices are reflected in the new button for purchasing on the right.

Just a reminder, if you would like more than 1 ruler, the shipping is usually almost the same, so send me a message from the contact page and I can send you a paypal invoice for multiple rulers plus shipping.

As I was watching Kathy Orta tonight at PaperPhenomenon, it seems that people wondered if this was a quilting ruler. The answer to that is, no. Now to explain a little more: I am a quilter, I have designed patterns for quilting. Quilter's use tons of different rulers for different things. You can use a quilting ruler to do trim your corners, sort of. I did not have a ruler that did this job exactly as I wanted to do it. It was still just a guess. So being a quilter, and knowing that you can get a ruler made, I designed one to do what I wanted it to do. . . exactly. So, yes there are other rulers and tools that will accomplish the same thing. And if you have them, by all means, use them. This is a ruler for those that are not quilter's or may not have invested in a tool that might work. It is a simple idea that, simply put, works for what I needed it to do, which was trim my cardstock to cover my chipboard, quickly and easily! Thank you Kathy, for your continuing support and your beautiful tutorials!

So in addition to creating albums by Kathy, I have been watching some you tube videos. This place has lots of cute, simple items for gifts! Angelwings14100 
This is what I've been up to:
For this project I used Authentique "Wonder" collection and some Prima flowers.

So I thought these were cute, but I thought I could add chipboard covers for a little more body. So I did these! This was made from the BoBunny Serenade. Of course with chipboard covers, I used my perfect trim ruler!

So, once I mastered that one, I tackled this very simple ring mini album! This was made from Kaisercraft Sears and Son Collection.

An Album by Kathy Orta at Paper Phenomenon

I used my Perfect Trim Ruler to trim the corners for the cover of this new album. It is so much fun! You can find the tutorial at Paper Phenomenon. It is called Retro Fitted Mini Album. It's not really a mini at all, but a wonderful album for a variety of projects. The paper I am using is from My Mind's Eye, Follow your heart.
