So if you're not a card, envelope, or box maker (and there are so many cute things you can make with the Scor-Pal's help), you might be wondering if you need a Scor-Pal. I'm here to say yes, you do! You can make all sorts of other things, you can score ruffles, make medallions, 3-D stars, and like I did here on my layout, you can add lines to your design, leaving them as is or sanding them. It's a fun design element. And with the newest version, you've got every measurement you need, without having to move your paper. Mine is an older product without all the markings you see below, so it was fun to try out this newer one:
If you need a basic understanding of the tool, please check out this page, lots of good practical tips here.
I placed the side of paper I wanted for my design face down in the tray and scored a line every inch. I then flipped the paper 90 degrees and repeated. I now had a perfectly spaced grid.
I flipped it over and lightly sanded the grey concrete side of Urban Traveler's Grey Concrete/Chevron (#2917). I think this may be one of my most favorite pieces of patterned paper ever.
I moved on with my design about Dyfi Furnace in Wales, but it wasn't working with all the photos I had so I decided to make a little accordian pull out behind my main photo to house the other two photos. This is another thing the Scor-Pal made easy, I just scored a couple of lines, folded, and had places now for the extra photos of my parents near the giant mill wheel.
So there you have a couple of more ways to use the Scor-Pal in your scrapbooking. It's not just for cards and gift boxes, but now that I make cards a lot more than I used to, I use it for them too :)

What a lovely project and a great idea to make it into an accordion to get more pages!!!

Great idea, but I think I will stick to my cards, not much on scrapbooking.

Thanks for the various tips contributed on this site. I have observed that many insurance providers offer prospects generous deals if they choose to insure several cars with them. A significant volume of households include several cars or trucks these days, specially those with elderly teenage children still dwelling at home, along with the savings upon policies can soon begin. So it will pay to look for a bargain.

The subsequent time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I mean, I do know it was my option to read, however I truly thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you possibly can repair when you werent too busy searching for attention.

I would like to show my appreciation for your generosity for individuals who really need help on in this subject. Your personal commitment to passing the message all-around came to be surprisingly practical and have frequently enabled those much like me to get to their goals. Your entire insightful key points implies a whole lot to me and still more to my fellow workers. Regards; from everyone of us.
