A friend left her Scor-Pal with me the other day to try out, so I thought I'd play around with it a little this afternoon. I found a tutorial for this "Flap-fold Card" here on the Score-Pal website.It was fun project, and while the jury is still out with regard to whether or not I actually need one of these things, I'm guessing that I will deem the Score-Pal a very useful tool once I've tried a few more projects.
About my card, the dimensions are 3-1/2 by 4-1/4. Once the base was cut and scored, I embossed the flap using my Cuttlebug. The bear was stamped on Bamboo cardstock, and like I did on the first card I made with this set, I went around the edges with a same-color marker to give the image some depth. Her cheeks were chalked, and I paper-pieced a little romper from Baby Pink cardstock. I think she's pretty sweet, if I do say so myself. The flap of the card is held
down with Basic Grey Magnetic Snaps, the bottom one concealed behind the white stamped piece I used for the inside of my card. Although I don't have occasion to use them all that often, the Magnetic Snaps can come in very handy. They are very thin and so much easier to work with than Velcro. I just noticed, too, that my card sticks to my file cabinet, which means it would stick to a refrigerator or magnetic memo board.

It turns out I'm having kind of a lazy day. The blogosphere is quiet, which tells me people are out doin' stuff. Marv came home from the golf course mid-afternoon and promptly fell asleep. I suppose I should give him a little poke pretty soon, so he can sleep tonight. Besides, I'm hungry. Perhaps if I eat something, I'll have a surge of energy. Then again, maybe not. I'll put it in gear tomorrow. Later!
