Question asked and a RAK~

I had a question on my blog asked and thought it would make a great blog post!!  The questions was asked ~ Debby said...
I love your cards. Is the scallop on the first two on the orginal paper or did you punch it?  This is what I do ~


I have made templates out of cardboard ( from the die cut papers) that way I have the shape and can cut it out from any paper I want.  Here is more example:
And here is how I store them~


I have many more than this photo is showing ~ I keep adding to my "ring".  Here is an example of a layout using the templates to cut a die cut paper.

Hope you enjoyed this and Thank You Debby for the question. 
I received my Scrap Trends the other day and they sent me two of these~
