Worth Every Penny

Rarely do I “plug” an item. So the times that I do must mean the product is really great. I have found something that I cannot live without. Yes, it’s truly that amazing. Lately I have been into the “distressed” look. I love the edges of my card to either have distressed ink or the distressed edge- it’s a new thing for me that you’ll be seeing on a lot of my upcoming cards. A little while ago I came across this little tool that does the job of giving a card the distressed look with a quick swipe! I love how easy it is to use and also how inexpensive it is! You can’t beat $2.00! I actually misplaced mine so I had to quickly go out and buy another! You’ll have to give it a try- it really is fantastic.

Tonight I have been busy stamping away. I made three cards tonight and I’m so excited to share them with you! Knowing that summer is almost over has made me want to play with some bright, cheerful colors. Hopefully I can get them scanned in tomorrow so they will be up in the next few days. I have TONS of cards that I need to scan in- not a task I enjoy doing. You may ask why I scan….Well, at first I did it because I didn’t have a camera. I still don’t have a camera but there are several accessible to me. The reason I still do it? I like my blog to have consistency. Weird? Yes. I go a little far with how much consistency I like. (My iTunes library reveals this fact.)

Well, it’s late and my bed is calling my name. One more day of work this week and then I can play! :) I’m hoping to get some time in Ginny since she just got back from Ecuador. In between things around the house, hanging with the girlfriend, stamping and a memorial service, I think I’ll have a busy weekend.

P.S. If you want are looking to buy the distresser, they can be found at your local craft store. However if yours doesn’t have it, I found one on the internet for CHEAP! Check it out here.

  1. I too love that little tool and use it a lot. Basic Grey’s paper is really easy to distress too, it is kinda soft, so it works really well with it. I think one of the reasons I also do a lot of distressing is because after cutting paper with my paper trimmer (if I don’t have a brand new blade in it at all times) it starts to distress the edges for me.

  2. don’t have one, but totally need to get one. it would be easier than using the edge of my scissors.

    and yay! for getting together this weekend… seriously, i’m looking forward to it sooo much.

    i missed you!
