Welcome once again to Transformation Thursday! It's the one day a week we all get together to celebrate gettin' stuff done. Everyone is welcome to jump in with whatever ya got - everything is worth cheering for. Just link up at the bottom to strut your stuff!
I got a new toy. And it's pink. How cool is that? Have you seen these? It's called a CropaDile, and it's actually intended for scrapbooking. I don't scrapbook, but I keep collecting scrapbook stuff (like a Cricut), because they are useful for so many things. I haven't got to play with this much, but I did do a little something.
Cute, huh? It's easy, peasy!
Take a scrap of fabric and a scrap of burlap. Stamp your image on the fabric.
Use the tool to make a hole through both pieces. Yep, it makes holes, too.
Next, put a brad through the hole and clamp it together with your CropaDile.
All that's left is to thread through a piece of ribbon. See - Easy!
Gift tags, lamp swag, I can see these all over the place. Ahhh... I love 2 minute cuteness!
Alright - time to show me whatcha got! Put your PERMALINK into MckLinky and be sure to link back here so everyone can see the awesome projects. Oh... and if you want the new button, just right click and upload it as a photo. I'm gonna do my best to get a HTML box fixed up soon.
Ready to go?
Let'er rip, tater chip!

So cute, I love it! That looks like a really useful tool.
How cute - I don't know what's better - the "crafting" or the "collecting" of the tools to craft with?
Hi Gina,
That's a cool tool! I bet you'll be real busy with it the next few days. How fun! I like what you did already - keep on being creative!

Good morning Gina. What a great project and it could be used so many different ways. I love it. I'm thinking of several ideas right now. That is what I love about blogging, someone decorated with burlap and now there are hundreds of ideas, like your adorable one....just because of someones idea to use burlap. Love it! I always enjoy coming by your blog and seeing what you are working on! You have a great blog!
Have a blessed day!

I love your work and have been admiring your etsy!
OOOO AHHHH, I love it, we have both of those tools and have not fully utilized them like you have! I'm getting out my cropadiler(sp) tomorrow and getting to work, thanks!
I love those tags. Scrapbooking is something I love to do, but don't have much time for it, but you have given me a ton of ideas now.
I've had one of those darn gizmos for several years and it's still in the package. Darned if I know how to use it....but it looks like I'd better learn! Very cute...
Warm blessings,
Spencer
