Alright...now onto the video...

I thought that my days of posting anything related to my water colored hydrangeas was over.

I think that by now you have all seen them...

Maybe even more than once.

I love that image

and I love water coloring

and therefore...

I love water coloring that gorgeous image.

So when a friend asked me to create 10 sympathy cards with water colored hydrangeas...

I was as excited as I always am when I work with that stamp..some ink... and my paint brushes

I painted the hydrangeas the other night...

and tonight was the night to cut the cards..stamp the sentiments...

and put the cards together so that I can ship them out early next week.

I don't know about you...

but no matter how much attention I give to trying to achieve meticulous placement of card stock layers on one another...

I sometimes find that I am a hair off..

and it bothers me

Tonight...just as I was getting ready to mat the first hydrangea....

I remembered that I had purchased a tool that is specifically for mat positioning.

I got it out..

I knew how to use it

It's very straight forward looking...thank goodness...

because I didn't receive any paperwork with it 

other than an invoice..

when it arrived last Fall

Well...

in as much as I felt confident about using the tool..

I couldn't remember what it is called.

"Kangaroo" was in my head...

I felt like the name had something to do with an animal.

So I went to my laptop..and posted a photo of the tool at the Stamping Enabler's Group on Facebook

I asked if anyone knew the name of  the tool

Within a few minutes....Kathleen D responded saying that it's called....

The Marsupial.

And there you have it!!!

The reason why I thought that it was called the Kangaroo!

A few group members also saw the photo and asked what the tool was...

what it did...

where they can purchase it...

etc..

So...before  I went any further with working on the 10 sympathy cards...

I stopped and had my sweetheart take a quick video with my cell phone...

so that inquiring minds....can see the KANGAROO
