I now know why we pay people to do this stuff for us..

After about an hour and half of trying, I give up and I'm ready to order those stupid little hang tags for the favors!! I can't cut a straight line to save myself, I can't print without smudging, and even a hole punch seems too hard for me!

I give, I'm ready to spend the money. I commend all of you that have the patience to do this! Man, I can't imagine making those placecandles!

Oh, no. I was planning on making hang tags for my favors too. I am so not crafty either. I'm in trouble aren't I?!

Kinkos has big paper cutters - why don't you go use theirs? Or at your job or FH's job? I used my office paper cutter, it was time consuming but came out great when cutting my bookmarks.

I bought a pair of scallop scissors at Michael's and thought, cool I can do this....

First you have to figure out if you are holding them in the right direction, because if you don't the scallop comes out upside down and it looks instead like a jagged edge...by the time I figured this out I had gone through 3 sheets of paper.

Then I tried to do the little heart hole punch, which is too big for the size tag I want to make so basically I had a heart shaped hole with the letter 'A' next to it, which was all that was left of my first name after I was done. Unless of course it ripped, which it did 90% of the time.

Bellaterra.net here I come. I HAVE NO TIME FOR THIS!
