This is my scrapin Blog where I am going to keep all things I scrap about. I have discovered I love papercrafting and making things from paper and card. I have done crafts for years but have no record of them. Now I have decided it would be good to keep a record, so I am going to keep a record of everything I make so when I am forgetful I will be able to come back and go through my blog for a memory jog.
e of my envelopes and I needed a way to do it. I have a friskers embossing plate which is a solid plastic plate that has 2 pieces of plastic on it both with the same cut outs. You slide your paper in between the 2 pieces of plastic and go round the edge with the embossing tool. Which is an awl with a round blunt end. So not letting anything go to waste I used the plastic from the cart packages put my 2 dino's up on the DS, placed my plastic on the cutting mat then chose 6 for the blade and max for the pressure and high speed and used the cut 4 times. I them carefully extracted the little dino's and used the outlines. By placing one 
over the other and lining them up then I held them together with a hole punch and pegs. I then put my paper between the plastic and used the awl to outline them. 
Bright ideas usually are inspired from someone else. In this case I saw a telephone message pad and thought I would try to make one. I have used the handset from one of the cricut carts and a square elongated from George. welded and fiddled around and have come up with this. When the handset is down it looks like a funny looking phone. When the handset is lifted there is a message pad to write messages on.
