Scrapbook.com was having a 40% off sale on the Fiskars Threading Water border punch last week so I jumped at the chance to own this hot new scrapbook punch. At the same time, I decided to get the Fiskars Lacy Days of Summer border punch since I wanted to get that one anyway.

The punches are a little awkward to use at first, but once you do a couple test punches you start to get the hang of it (view the finished layout using the Threading Water border punch). Also if you don’t already have a self-healing cutting mat, now would be the time to get one especially if you want to get one of these border punches. And if you’re wondering how a border punch like this works, you can actually see a demo video of the punch here at Scrapbook.com.

I heard through the Twitter grapevine that Google was releasing their Google Suggest feature.

While I really like the fact that Google is taking the initiative to help users find what they want, I wonder if this would be considered artificial influence on users. Or would Google actually be improving user input (avoiding misspellings, etc.) by suggesting search topics. Hmm…. Thoughts?
