Spanked Again!

Ricë has done it again. She spanked us for Saturday, probably flush with her success yesterday with Spank #4. You've gotta watch her. She cracks me up on a regular basis, therefore I am addicted to her! She is Not Speaking to Me at the moment, however because I posted about the PoGo yesterday and made her want one. I told you that the woman is a riot! ;-))

So, having been challenged to make tabs for my journal. And having noticed the blue sheet you have to load into your PoGo with the pile of little papers it uses which it immediately spits out. I decided to use it for my tabs!

I measured and actually used a ruler to see where to cut it in half and where to score and fold it. I tried it against the little 1 1/2" Xyron, but it was too small. The 2 1/2" Xyron was jusssst right!

So I ran it through there and rolled it with my beloved wooden brayer to make sure that the adhesive was thoroughly adhered.

Then I trimmed it in half with my beloved Tonic paper trimmer, scored and folded it, and punched a 1/4" hole in it because I like to put ribbons on my tabs. I don't like corners that are too sharp either, so I trimmed them off with my beloved Tim Holtz scissors. I cut some pretty ribbon from my stash to decorate them.

Then I noticed all the little pieces of leftover paper that had already been Xyroned and were already the right
size for tabs. They were everywhere on my worktable! The ones that weren't Xyroned were quickly run through the 1 1/2" one (and the cheapest one to use!).

It took no time at all to go from this (see photo on far left).

To this (see photo to immediate left).

To this! See all the tabs and wannabee tabs?

It is all Ricë's fault! The question is, did she do me a favor or did she start a possible new obsession? She was born to be a trouble-maker, don't you think? You should go immediately read her blog and see what trouble she's stirring up now! Then you'll be addicted too and before you know it, you'll be as spanked as I am!
