Tuesday's {Tip} & RAK!

So, how many of you have a Fiskars Threading Water punch? How many of you have trouble using it or making corners? Well, I found a GREAT tutorial this morning that I think y'all will love! It was created by Virginia on her Scrapalicious blog! You can see the tutorial here. I think this is a great one to bookmark for sure! I hope it is helpful to all of you with a punch!
Now what about those of you that don't have this punch? Well, I am RAKing one today!!! If you don't have this punch and would love to have one, post in the comment section here by 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 29th. I will announce a random winner on Thursday, Oct. 30th!!!! Good luck everyone, and thank you Virginia for the great tutorial! Have a joyous day everyone!

    Yeah, I'll be the first one here ... *lol*

    Thank you for the link to the tutorial. And no, I have this wonderful thing from Fiskars not at home - but will I have it soon because of the RAK? I hope so.
