Your card is lovely as all your cards are! I adore my Simply Scored (and I'm not just saying that because I'm Mrs Stampin' Up!) It scores like a dream, has a proper lip that you can slide the tool down and never slips - AND has add on boards that fit inside and give great effects too! I watched Made in Dag when it came out and I loved it, like you, because of the 70s feel. Not entirely accurate no, but based on real events though.

I tried twice with a butterfly stamp, after the second time I was sure it was OK and then noticed some sort of sticky stuff had made its way onto the card, so I gave up and made something else.

Sorry about the efforts - I am no wizard with the scoring, I dont even have a scorer yet. I am still building some basics. I have been stamping off and on for years, but not to this extent of displaying them. It is great fun meeting so many wonderful and talented ladies.<br /><br />Thanks for popping by and commenting on my blog, I do love the Northwest, don't get me wrong -it rains so much to be so green. The downfall, my lawn is all moss, with some shoots here and there of grass that looks like Charlie Brown's hair. I walk out to emjoy the lovely daffodils popping up and my feet sink about 3 inches in the, moss carpet.
