It's the Little Things

So tonight I was working on some custom note cards to include with a baby shower present for a girl at work. I had them all printed and was getting ready to score and cut them when I realized I couldn't find the scoring blade for my rotary cutter ANYWHERE. This is not good. That scoring blade is the perfect tool for anyone who makes cards. I don't know what I would do without it! So around 9:45 I head to Wal-mart hoping that they, on some slim chance, would have one. That was a big nope! I decided that I would just get a ruler and use the end of a butter knife since it's not really sharp to score the cards that way since I hate the roughness of a hand-folded card. You see I'm quite picky when it comes to this stuff! The problem was there wasn't a ruler at Wal-mart. I looked in office supplies, I looked in crafts, I looked in school supplies and there was not a ruler to be had in the entire place. Do they not allow rulers in school for fear they could be used as a weapon? It was ridiculous. So deciding the 20-minute wait in line wasn't worth it for the gift bag I had in my hand I left. After I got home, I grabbed a knife out of the drawer and located my only ruler, an old yard stick left here by the previous owner. I was walking around our bed when I happened to look down at the exact spot next to the dresser where my scoring blade was! I was elated! So finishing up my card project took less than 10 minutes whereas it might have taken me nearly half an hour with my primeaval method I had conjured up. The result? A pretty cute card. Not my best work by any means, but I'm sure she'll love them!
