I've always had a problem with the stylus staying in the groove of any scoring board I used. So I repurposed an old Fiskars trimmer by removing the orange cutting blade and replacing it with a black scoring blade. Works perfectly for me.

Chewy.com has a one time puppy goody box (not a subscription). I'm sure you could ship it to her.

I thought at one time that The Stamp Market used to wholesale their products and then stopped that a year or so ago. Am I remembering correctly?

Beautiful! The water looks amazing in all of your cards.

If your layer is the same size as your card base, use the corner of a stamp platform to align the two. Snug the folded card base into a corner and then use the corner to align the top layer. If you don't have a stamp platform, a thick t-square or l-square ruler would work.
I see a lot of card makers in Youtube videos use Art Gltter Glue. I think any liquid glue will give you a little play time. The key may be not to put the glue right to the edges so when you press it down, it has a place to ooze that's still within the boundaries of the piece or layer.
I use my Kokuyo dot adhesive tape runner and can pull off layers if (who am I kidding? it's when) I get them a bit wonky.

What are your plans for this year? How many cards are you planning to make? Will you participate in the 2Peas card exchange? Do you make 1 design or many? Do you use the stamps, dies and patterned paper you have on hand or are you tempted by all the new releases?
I don't have a number determined yet. My friend and I supply the local nursing home with cards so my share is 35. I'm still thinking about the card exchange and I may try to send some cards to some other nursing homes. My guesstimate is I'll need around 200 cards. I need variety while crafting so I only make a maximum of 8 cards per design. Usually it's just 6. So I need lots of designs. Which leads me to the final question - I'll use some of my stash, including stamps and dies that were purchased last year but didn't get used. There have been a few purchases already but most of the stamp companies don't do their Christmas releases until September. The temptation will be great and resistance will be futile. I only have 6 designs picked out already so I need to get my creative juices going!
Your turn.

I’m another with a large Christmas die collection who would be willing to cut for you. Let us know what the die is.

I need more information before taking a side on this one. What I have seen raises a lot of questions for me.

I live in OH and pay $35/week for lawn cutting and edge trimming (just for reference).
My lawn guy is here today with 1 other guy. They are trimming bushes and small trees, doing some weed control and otherwise prepping for mulch. They have been here for 5 hours and are now cleaning up all the debris and trimmings to haul away. I generally pay him $300 but I will likely pay more as I asked him to do a few more things (like take out some dead bushes).

I've never been able to get Lysol Spray or Clorox wipes and I'm ready to give up.
The latest thing to go out of stock here is Bounty paper towels (so I'm stuck with a pack of those Brawny quarter sheeters) and Cottonelle TP. Nothing at my grocery store, Sam's Club or Target. Anyone else finding this to be a problem?
This week I placed orders for foaming hand soap, hand lotion, vitamins, Tylenol, shampoo and conditioner. I'm in good shape on everything else.

Learn something new from the Peas every day. Today it was frozen noodles. And my grocery store carries the Reames brand.

Thank you for starting this thread and for the "oh, yeah, that was a problem for me, too" moments as I read this. My next grocery store order will contain some of the things I had problems getting for months in the spring. Like low sodium beans and pasta sauce. I'm also replenishing some cooking sauces that I used a lot. I'm still on the hunt for more Clorox wipes. Probably my biggest issue was hand lotion. Everything I had or tried initially caused my over-washed, red, rough hands to burn. Now that I found something that works, I need to lay in a supply for the cold, dry months ahead. What kind did you get that worked for you? I've never paid much attention to hand cream, using whatever happened to be in the cupboard or that I had a coupon for. lol. But all this extra hand sanitizing, and also using the Clorox wipes, has really done a number of my hands. Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Hand Cream.

I had hoped to get my nursing home cards done last week so I could start Christmas cards this week. But it was not to be. So no joining you all in holly jolly creativity.

This is my first electronic cutter but I don’t feel they last very long. I make sure to keep the mat covered when not in use. I also use a rubber brayer to make sure my paper is stuck to the mat.
There’s supposed to be a way to get the sticky back using a Dollar General cleaner and a scraper. I’ll have to search out the YouTube video but it may have been done by Hedgehog Hollow.
