Tools
The Centering Ruler is not your average ruler! With the Centering Ruler, you start measuring in the middle, and work your way out. This means the center is zero, and each end is six inches. The ruler is translucent, look through it to see your paper or picture while you are measuring. Keep the Centering Ruler next to you while paper crafting. It will make scrapbook page layouts, card making, book making, quilting, and graphic arts easier!
