Measure or Eyeball It? Empty Measure or Eyeball It?

Post by Robin Tue Oct 14, 2008 12:58 pm

When you are creating, do you sit and measure everything before you cut, or do you just eyeball it and go?

Me... I am so anal and I measure EVERYTHING... photos, mats, patterned paper, cardstock... EVERYTHING!! I will sometimes even measure to make sure something is centered where I want it. Embarassed I think I need scrappy therapy! :geek:

LOL! eyeball all the way!! I run a li'l group & they are always asking 'what size is that mat/strip or whatever' - I'll say 'dunno - measure it!'
The only time I measure stuff is when I'm writing tutorials - & then I do it all after I have made it

I'm usually all about eyeballing, but when it comes to matting my pics I want to measure, just to make sure it's even.

Well, I might need part-time therapy. I mostly eyeball! But, for cards especially, I'm more of a measurer. Guess I want to be in both clubs:) (Either way I'm in good company, I like that Very Happy )
