We would work for several Fridays completing special gifts for each class mate, office staff, and any teachers that had a special place in her heart. </p><p>I love to create in multiples. These days I'm just creating cards. But still I create a bunch. So anytime I can simplify the process it makes it more fun. And if you follow me in other places it saves me 'spoons'.</p><p>Today's process is stamping in multiples. </p><p>I take the whole stamp set, mount it with tape or double sided sticky to the clear plate of my MISTI stamping tool.</p><p>If the stamps are too close together to create a border around them I move them around slightly. </p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb_ng0NwerufR076sA07Xl1HYbeSvVaIQimyioNaM8cerrbOHHmCREGbUql5WexPrwQB1ebfJT-hKdePnXuSA6KUpQDFMpbdh-GICQmfPoMqeGR8xCyyZSWGRZcqJV7rFxG5G9QRpEfmQcWW_-RlHflYZRhBgzzvQuv0v8JIm8i4Zt-IHxqOZtjvmL9EE/s1543/20240117_200114.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1446" data-original-width="1543" height="188" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb_ng0NwerufR076sA07Xl1HYbeSvVaIQimyioNaM8cerrbOHHmCREGbUql5WexPrwQB1ebfJT-hKdePnXuSA6KUpQDFMpbdh-GICQmfPoMqeGR8xCyyZSWGRZcqJV7rFxG5G9QRpEfmQcWW_-RlHflYZRhBgzzvQuv0v8JIm8i4Zt-IHxqOZtjvmL9EE/w200-h188/20240117_200114.jpg" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Mount Stamp Set to MISTI </td></tr></tbody></table><br />Stamp entire set on white cardstock.<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikNxLEnXTDQHA7O9b4nvd0FfTDrfApdWSecBPXRBiF-2hCwE7j6rmwepROM-g3cnNN2kRIzJDnla7ZZDeRuTGwXlrdEjhjzpKrFY16gCw38UY4w-cb3BDuJHGx_EGtX6tauPr-CvufpqClsaZKcTBszEW9nDvgFWWq8mfXnmqSwjXBqJLKfBTBvebWfts/s3797/20240117_103817.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2686" data-original-width="3797" height="141" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikNxLEnXTDQHA7O9b4nvd0FfTDrfApdWSecBPXRBiF-2hCwE7j6rmwepROM-g3cnNN2kRIzJDnla7ZZDeRuTGwXlrdEjhjzpKrFY16gCw38UY4w-cb3BDuJHGx_EGtX6tauPr-CvufpqClsaZKcTBszEW9nDvgFWWq8mfXnmqSwjXBqJLKfBTBvebWfts/w200-h141/20240117_103817.jpg" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Stamp on white cardstock</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Place stamped sheet on your Silhouette PixScan Mat.<div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDNDuNj4FPklGdRKt1VmMClNHQnU7stE0gaCBlidtTDn_6JtMPMfwsGKHe54meQoX8Malkex_oweb-qPOeHIebAt3IyFv2SGxvVQNQgfq4hsVpDOaTS0m7yc2rKM2ZI2oCVor46RZnypFn9QwP4b6DD6cwfqX7barEc707VbLB89BMH8DLTQ_lgY58r1c/s2843/20240117_103943.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2213" data-original-width="2843" height="156" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDNDuNj4FPklGdRKt1VmMClNHQnU7stE0gaCBlidtTDn_6JtMPMfwsGKHe54meQoX8Malkex_oweb-qPOeHIebAt3IyFv2SGxvVQNQgfq4hsVpDOaTS0m7yc2rKM2ZI2oCVor46RZnypFn9QwP4b6DD6cwfqX7barEc707VbLB89BMH8DLTQ_lgY58r1c/w200-h156/20240117_103943.jpg" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Place on PixScan Mat</td></tr></tbody></table><br />I use my Cannon camera to take a picture, you can use your cell phone, a scanner, this is just what works for me. <div><br /></div><div><br /><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjymMclwhPX6XR2lEyOU-uHaGCn40nKPbLF2R9p0BlhQQJZRFjaEz-ZfhxJx2dXQt6xvvVwZ9L-kxzskhduA_J91C-sa7cWHZVJ2lACbmx948feQvPhlU9iivnfEEr6qoHyTEB1bOyXC1DBLn7hRt_h3QUd657GDqtPfMczMUu73zIbAgFmDEBNg_1p6UI/s2490/20240117_104536.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1941" data-original-width="2490" height="156" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjymMclwhPX6XR2lEyOU-uHaGCn40nKPbLF2R9p0BlhQQJZRFjaEz-ZfhxJx2dXQt6xvvVwZ9L-kxzskhduA_J91C-sa7cWHZVJ2lACbmx948feQvPhlU9iivnfEEr6qoHyTEB1bOyXC1DBLn7hRt_h3QUd657GDqtPfMczMUu73zIbAgFmDEBNg_1p6UI/w200-h156/20240117_104536.jpg" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Take a picture of your PixScan Mat</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Now I remove the media card and insert in my laptop.

I recently added the Silhouette Mint to my Silhouette collection. I've never been much of a stamper, so this little addition to the tweaking corner has taken a small niche of it's own. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like all of my new additions I find the need to organize it. First was those tiny bottles of ink. I scored the perfect cabinet at the local thrift store, but quickly found all those bottles were toppling over when I reached for one... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the silhouette I make boxes all the time, but I thought maybe I can tweak what I already have.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a super quick tweak and no more falling over bottles!</div>

Sometime it seems we try to do these amazing things, when in fact we could focus a little more and achieve greater outcome. This weeks organization project was just that.</div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
I needed file folders I could put a description or client name on the top of with a date when necessary. I wanted to re-use these folders but I still wanted them to look great.</div>

Chalkboard is the hottest label right now, I cut these fancy labels for things all the time.</div>

For those new silhouette users every week the Silhouette store offers a FREE download pattern.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes the patterns may not appeal to you as much as others, but especially in the beginning I recommend always downloading them. It will make you familiar with different design ideas, and most pieces can be used in lots of different ways.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First let me give credit here to Daniela Moscone she is the amazing designer for this one. I was most surprised by this card because the back flaps double as the cards stand. So this one stands up on it's own. We love that!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then to add just a quick enhancement to the back-side I saved the stars and the rectangles from the front cut. I also used my cutting tool to cut an additional base. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Duplicate your base. (or copy paste)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Select your Cutting Tool</div>

<div align="center">
With Spring emerges new life. Often we overlook the fact new life comes from previous existence. Bits and pieces of our every day life are somehow connected to our past. Each choice we make today was made possible because of previous happenings or experiences.</div>
<div align="center">
Weather we have pushed through some bad spots, clung to an array of fabulous moments, or simply walked through a season of little or no variables. We take with us those very things. As a few of you know I have had several seasons of challenges.</div>
<div align="center">
I have chosen to take the good bits and pieces which ultimately mean the most and move forward. I was blessed with a very creative Mother, and a Father who worked hard to support us no matter what creative choices of lifestyle my mother chose (building a log cabin, owning our own businesses, raising our own food, etc). I was blessed with a set of Grandparents who prayed for me as well as a Grandparents that spent time with me. As my husband and I began our very young lives together I was blessed again with a very dear friend that spent much time, prayer and giving of herself that Thom and I would have success in our lives together.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
So todays Tweak using my Silhouette Cameo brings new life to 7 SVGCuts Kits. Symbolizing small bits and pieces can produce a fabulous new creation.</div>

I think no matter where you find yourself in life this could speak to you. The teenager in his/her room with the music blasting because no one understands them. Maybe you are the young married couple standing singing along in worship Sunday morning where seemingly nothing has gone right between the two of you all week, but as you worship walls are dropped and healing begins. The daily commuter that gets inspiration from travel music. Perhaps your laying in a hospital bed knowing your time served on earth is about to end, or perhaps your the person standing at the side of the bed knowing your loved one is about to leave you. So much of our lives are touched by music.<br />
