Quick Tip + Giveaway #2
As requested, here's a quick tip on setting eyelet evenly in a row! By the way, I mention that the Crop-A-Dile setting for a 3/16" eyelet is B-2, but I was wrong. It's actually A-1. Sorry!
And today's card:

Giveaway #2 - Two packs of American Crafts MiniMark Rubons! See which ones here (in Color 2) and here (in Black).
Keep those comments coming! As I did tonight, I'll close comments at 7:00 p.m. tomorrow night. Good luck!
COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED! I'll draw a name right now! I have a new entry all written, I'm just waiting to draw a name.

Hi! Great giveaway! Love your blog and your work. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the tutorial! I love my CropADile but do admit that I'm kinda lame when it comes to figuring out how to adjust the spacer thing on the side so I really appreciate being shown it in action! Very cute card, too.
Love the cards. Love your blog! I'm a newbie to your site, but you have inspired me to begin card making again! You make it look so simple. Love the tutorials, too. Question: How long does it take you to come up w/ an idea? That's the hardest part for me. Keep your ideas coming. You have been blessed by a wonderful talent.
Your card is sweet as can be!
Great tutorial! I've never actually used rub-ons, so I'd love to win some.

Very cute card! Thanks for the tutorial on setting eyelets in a straight row...it shouldn't be a hard thing to do but for some reason it is!
Your tutorials rock - thank you so much for putting them together!
My next purchase is a crop-o-dile. Thanks for your great tutorials and cards. I never miss your blog, even if I am in a hurry.
Your cards are beautiful. I love this simplicity of this one and am going to have to track down some Bazzil textured cardstock soon. The texture makes the white look fabulous.
I love everything about this little card. The textured paper is great , as well as the wonderful AC ribbon - it's the best!
And, now I NEED that stamp - must get!
Great job!
Cathy

Genius!! Who would of thought to use a RULER!!! Funny how I tend to forget about the most basic tools. I have a tendency to eyeball everything which let me tell you does NOT always end up working:)

Wow! I asked how you get the eyelets so evenly spaced but didn't expect a video tutorial the very next day - thanks! Also, love the card you uploaded today.
