(Sorry y'all that this initially went out to mailboxes unfinished, but here's the finished version) :O)
This one's for you Noreen! Inky hugs!
What's the Scor-Pal? I'd me remiss if I called it a scoring tool, since I've discovered that it's also an amazingly versatile & artful embosser. I never knew until I had one (and also spent a day drooling over these links) that I couldn't live without it! It makes everyday scoring a bazillion times easier & it opens up new worlds of homemade papers.

I LOVE your list! How cool to have all of this info in one place! (And also so exciting for me to have some things on your list! What an honor!)
You go girl!
Thanks for share!
I also have an "article" about Scor-pal in my creative space!
http://crearenelwebdigiulia.wordpress.com/scor-pal/
Bye from Italy!
And thanks again!
Wow Mel, how many hours in a day do you have? LOL! Thanks for all your hard work - I'm going to get myself some nice Engish tea now and have a good old browse.
I see you've been busy! Thanks for all the links Mel ~ It's going to take me forever to get thru this one :)
Hugs,
Joani
Hi, i missed you. It's really nice to have you back.
You are crazy.... so many links.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You are really great.
What a great review/comparison of the two products. Very Very Helpful. I think I'd like a scor-pal.
I have a skill testing question for you. A long time ago I came across a tea cup card. It was lovely and I wanted to try it for our LSS Card class... but I can't seem to find the link. For awhile I thought it was Valita's but after searching her blog last time I didn't see it. Did you ever have a connection for a Katydid Creations blog with a teacup?? A long shot... but here's hoping :-)
Thanks for your posts they're always so helpful and informative.
Beth Greco
Ohh, here's one more challenge.. any ideas where to get hat pins on the cheap?? I figured you would if anyone! Or is there something equivalent that you could use? I've been using some wire from Michaels that has a loop on the end and then I have a package of clear plastic earring backs that I stick on the end but they're not as long or sturdy as a hat pin. I suppose floral pins would give you the length but they're sharp and pointy.. so would need something to cover the end?? Any ideas.. great guru???
Thanks
Beth Greco
Mel you are a sweetheart and a half!! Thanks for all this information.
I am at work and must do work related things and save all this good stuff for later.
Have a good one!!
whoot! What a fun bunch of links to check out. I have the scor-pal...but need to get using it!! Thanks for a bunch of inspiration!
Wowzers.. just what I had been hoping for. Hope to find a couple of hours today to peruse this site. tfs. you are one great gal for compiling this for us. MaryAnn
Thanks, Mel. You have 101 links for EVERYTHING!! Thank you SO much for sharing all your links and your wonderful ideas. Now I have no excuse for not being able to find a project.
Noreen
I am with Deb. Don't know how you do it with all those links. How in the world do you make a flower with a scoring tool, sorry, scor-pal the all purpose tool :-)
Don't you tempt me into buying one. I don't have room for another piece of CS in my dining room. It is bursting with stuff :-(
This is a brilliant list! Thank you so much for compiling it. I'm a newbie Scor-Pal user, and this list will be my new directory.
WOW Mel you have out done yourself. You sure bounced back with a vengance..lol. Thank you for all your time and hard work with these list. I know I am not using my ScorPal to it's fullest. Now I can your ROCK!!!
Debbie Phx AZ
Mel, you are a stamping angel!!! I get more ideas and links here than anywhere!! Now I have enough projects to keep me busy until I'm 120 years old!!!
Mel, this list is AWESOME!
While not technically a "tutorial", you were the Tutorial of the Week at Card of the Week.com. You can see the original post here.
I did use a picture from your post, with links back to the site and the original post. I hope that is OK. Please feel free to email me if you need me to change anything.
I also have an “I was featured” on badge for you if you want it :D
Thanks again for sharing!
Mel, you rock!!! How do you find the time to stay on top of all this? Lucky for us you do.
Wowzers girlie! I have been lusting over a Scor-pal :))
Love that flower!
Holy, Mel! Where do you find all your links! Sheesh, that's a lot of links for me to go through! It'll make me all confused trying to choose which project to work on. Thank you so much for giving your time to provide us with all the links but also, your oh-so cool projects and tutorials!
You are simply the best!!
Maria
