Well I've recuperated after my exciting day yesterday. Wow, I am still in awe...if you missed my exciting news, click here and you will see what I am talking about.
Okay, onto today's project...I love making cards and I love taking pictures of my cards. So what's my problem? I could never get a good picture of them especially for shaped cards. Laying them down didn't always help either. I've seen a lot of people use these cute little prong thingies to insert their card into and they stand up nicely. No idea where people get these things though. I guess, as I am writing this, it dawns on me, to maybe comment or email these people and ask them where they got it...duh!!! Well, too late now, cuz I came up with a brilliant solution. Brilliant in my eyes anyway. It's a FORK.

All you need is a fork, just a little muscle, a vice and a pliers. Bend the outside prongs backwards a bit, depending on how much angle you want and bend the tips up a hair. Bend the inside prongs the opposite dirrection and bend the tips up a bit also. Wasn't too difficult, but next time I'm gonna ask hubby to help me. These nails I got yesterday are not for bending metal...LOL

As always, have a great day and god bless.
Good idea. Have you seen the post I did a few days ago about using a fork to make bows?
