Don’t you hate it when you can’t find something. Someone asked me to make some Shaker Cards using the Unfrogettable set. It was a specific card I had made in the past and I “thought” I had a sample or at least a picture of it. For the love of me I can’t find it. I had thought I even blogged it at one point – but Nooooo! The thing is though – I know it is here somewhere…. I have become my mother. I have put it away and now I can’t find it!
Instead of a card today – I have a tip. Now I know you have all done this – I can’t be the only one. You get something all glued up and place it on your project and realize that it is crooked. Don’t you hate that! I use the ATG tape runner on most of my projects and this is what I do. (I’m not sure this would work with liquid adhesives).
I have a paper piercing tool that came in a Making Memories set (you can also buy them individually at a local craft store). I take this tool and gently pry it under a corner on the project. Be gentle and slide the tool under the edge of the paper – around all four sides. The piece of paper will eventually come off. Most of the time – unharmed.
I am not a video guru, but I took a couple of pictures to try and explain.
I was showing this to the ladies on Saturday and they thought it was a good idea – so I decided to share.
Final note for the American Idol fans out there – WOW KRIS ALLEN. He is my favourite by far. Yes Adam is a good singer as well – but there is something about him that just doesn’t sit right.
That is it for me all – Have a good one.

Elizabeth, I can’t even number the times I’ve put something somewhere and think at the time “You know, I’m probably going to need that, so I better remember where I’m sticking it!” But then, do I remember when it’s needed? Nope – I usually have to retrace my steps, literally – but it actually works! I LOVE your tip you gave – I’ll need to remember this myself as I’m prone to get things a little off now and then. Oh, and BTW, Kris Allen is growing on me too! Love to see what Adam’s always going to do, but I really didn’t think Kris was going to be so steady!
I use the spatula tool that came with my Cricut. It has a wide flat surface (like a spatula of course) that slides very easily under whatever I want to move. I do however, use my ruler almost 100% of the time to place things on my cards so fortunately I don’t have to do this often.
