When I first trained as an EMT ( 25 years ago) they said that many times when treating injuries "Use what you have". When scrapbooking, we can do that also. I have found 2 fiskars tools that have uses that you might not think about. It is a little late this year for the first one. You can use your Fiskars fingertip craft knife to carve pumpkins. a group of us had a pumpkin carving. party and discovered that the tool would cut right through.
The second is the leave it to weaver border punch. It is made to accomadate 3/8 inch ribbon. I learned that if you cut a 1 inch strip and go down one side- then turn it ove and go down it again, you can use 5/8 ribbon. It is so easy, because you can still use the marking and line up the paper.
