    The father of a friend, Cindy Roland, on SSReflections ezine passed away, and I wanted to make a card to honor her dad, Richard A. Sutton.

TIP: I always print onto scrap paper first to make sure that the text or image is in the right place on the page, and that I know which way to feed my paper into the printer. Then, I tape a piece of cardstock over the image on the scrap paper and feed it through the printer again. I always make sure my cardstock is larger than the image so when I remove the tape, if the tape tears the cardstock, I can cut that portion away.

I had a lot of trouble lining up the tags to print front and back and found that it worked best when my cardstock was only a little wider than the tag. Be sure to practice printing BOTH sides before you use your good cardstock.
