d'uh

Check this out. I came up with the coolest idea to organize the Stampin' Up! Catalog. I was always having trouble trying to find a stamp set in the catalog because there are so many things packed into the catalog. Well, (I said to myself) why don't I make some tabs on the side. WOW what a fabulous idea! So using my computer, I typed out all the tab headings that I would need, printed them out and using my least favorite color that I seem to have an awful lot of, I mounted them onto YoYo Yellow that was punched out with the new Scallop Square.


Here's a close up for you. The scallops even match the scallops on the edge of the catalog. How cool is that!


My husband and I were having a discussion about how to pronounce the word scallops. I pronounce the A like in the word tall. He pronounces it like the A in cat. He's from Texas and I'm from New Hampshire. Is it a regional thing? How do you pronounce it??
Leave me a comment on where you live and how you pronounce the word scallops.
Have a glitter filled day,

  6. OMG Michelle, I am laughing so hard right now! What a wild post! You have generated quite the conversation....and I have to ask you, because, well, you know me! "Do you hold your little finger up in the air when you say that word with the "tall" A sound?"
    For me, it's like scalloped potatoes! A like CAT! And I am a native Arizonian to boot, so I have no accent! LOL
    Oh, and btw, love your scallopped (with cat A) index tabs!!!
    Hugs,

  10. Michelle, you and your husband are both pronouncing it correctly... the thing is, you are talking about two different things. The way you are pronouncing it is the sea food scallop. The way he is pronouncing it is the type of edging. So there ya go.. you can both be right! lol
