I saw someone on their blog cutting flower shapes out of cans with scissors and wondered at the time if it would work to sharpen punches/scissors. You've answered my question!!!<BR/><BR/>And thanks for answering my question about the ink pad holder. I thought maybe it was one of those that is made from foam core board. I have the instructions but have never made one. <BR/><BR/>Daily posts are good for me.
