Cool! I’ve made stamps from diecutting fun foam but i like this idea too. If you had a metal die but wanted the stamp a different size you could resize the cutout on a cameo and then cut the cardstock layers.

Last time was with my kids when they were in grade school so maybe 15 years ago. I only have a few photos. DD2 had a Big Top themed sweet 16 party complete with a bounce house. Never saw a bunch of teens have so much fun being kids again! I have tons of pics for that day. (No clowns btw).

No more pink and gold heavy lines, donuts, diamonds, or hello. Enough of the childish ditzy printed paper. It’s ok if in moderation, but kids are only little for just so long.
I want prints and embellishments that work for teens and adulthood. I second the wish for the team phrases, realistic mom phrases and other animals. I would like some baskets, houseplants, flowers other than roses, gardening, fish, bees, farm animals that are not childish, or some just plain patterned geometric shapes to compliment the paper line. Some of my favorite paper had simple, thin hand drawn lines in several colors. It gave a punch to the layout, not themed, and easy to embellish. I guess I’m thinking of the old SEI or KI Memories lines. Oh and I’d love papers and embellishments with that Basic Grey feel. (Sigh)

I had mine done two years ago. It was in combination with cleaning out my sinus cavities. It was a day surgery, in and out. There was no pain afterwards. A bit of pressure, but that's all. A little bit of bleeding for a couple of days. In all...best thing ever. I can breath again. It was really a very minor thing after it was all said and done. This was my experience 30 years ago. Removal of the packing was the worst part. I didn’t snore then but now I do, mostly due to allergies and weight gain.

Hubby is away so I'm cutting stencils with my Cameo, now that I bought a replacement power supply.

Went to one of those giant garage sales held in an event center this morning. I found some Basic Gray papers, a large new rubber stamp of a sunflower, some rust embossing powder and lots of sewing patterns from the 40's for $.50 each. Also bought myself some items for my collections that are non-scrappy.

I went today and they had a bunch of new stuff. Lots of DCWV 6x6 and 12x12 pads, lots of MME 6x6 and 12x12 pads (Gal Meets Glam, On Trend, Hooray, Yes Please, Follow Your Heart), MME ephemera packs, WRMK Typecast embellishments, Crafter's Companion stamps, K&Company paper pads and embellishments and lots of Wilton cake decorating stuff. Good to know, these should roll into my store in a week or two. I’m hoping to find some K&Co ephemera packs.

The power cord is missing! When we had the flooded family room everything got picked up off the floor and of course no one seems to know where it is. I was doing mopping up in another room at the time. How hard is it to find a white power cord in a sea of black ones is beyond me. Sorry gals but I just had to vent. Thanks for listening. Off to buy a replacement from Amazon.

I have bought a few older wooden stamps and a set of Perfect Layers for my sister. I usually find scrapping supplies at antique stores. Found a few SU sets at Goodwill once.

My store only got in a few things like the bows and puffy hearts. I only bought a set of Jane Davenport acrylic paint set in flesh tones.

I'm working on a Disney Christmas album. There are no Disney Christmas papers (that I have found), so I have been using Christmas patterned papers from my stash. I have no idea how old the papers are. I do remember Current. I used to order occasionally from them, but not scrapbook supplies. I have lots of Disney Christmas pics to scrap too. I bought a few dies from AX that were Mickey/Minnie at Christmas themed, plan to use regular christmas paper with these as embellishments. I ordered a pack of assorted scrapbook papers 8.5 x 11, some faux ribbon stickers with sayings stamped on them and some sheets of diecut borders in various vintage colors. I still use the borders and they are 12x12. Face it this was my only choice for paper supplies other than a local mom and pop craft store for several years.

I just used some Cosmo Cricket on a few layouts, with more to be used on a rodeo layout soon. One of these days I’m going to get out the Wild Asparagus for layouts I have planned. The color and artistry is so beautiful on those older lines. Remember drooling over the racks at your LSS? Yes, I drooled a lot and still can't bring myself to use those collections.

i just made a St. Patricks Day card for my aunt and realized that the background paper was came from Current, circa approximately 1999. Is Current even in business anymore?
So what’s the oldest material you used on your most recent project?

I need to get progressives but have bifocals now. I also have a second pair of my readers prescription only. It makes reading for longer periods and computer work much easier.

One of my stores gets the early shipment and stock on shelves by store opening. The other gets an 8am delivery and is on the shelves by 3pm.
My closest store finally received items I have seen posted on youtube 3 weeks prior. I picked up a few more Bo Bunny stamps, another 3D embossing folder, 4 Noteworthy ephemera packs, 6 washi tape (Bo Bunny, Maggie Holmes, Dylusions) and the large Easter pad.
Does anyone happen to know the product # for the Easter Bo Bunny Noteworthy ephemera pack?

Went to my regular store but they just finished doing inventory and hadn’t even unpacked Tuesdays shipment. Went to another store and found quite a bit. I bought several die sets, a stamp set and some Noteworthy packs. I’m trying to not purchase anymore paper.

I had surgery on my finger so I can’t do anything messy because of the huge bandage I’m sporting. Since i have to move my scrapping supplies I can’t scrap either. Instead I made a travelers notebook sized journal from a magazine to use as a glue book. Got some free magazines from both the library and at work so I have lots of things to cut up. My DH thinks I’m nuts and is miffed that I’m not working on the taxes instead. I’m having a blast.

I just found out that although the two stores I frequent get deliveries on Tuesday they arrive far enough apart that store #1 stocks the craft aisle by store opening while #2 gets the goods out by 3:00. The first store never uploads their shipment inventory to the product finder, store #2 manager uploads it within the 5 hour timeframe that they are suppose to have everything on the floor for sale.
I missed the sale Sunday, was the usale flyer in the mail or online? I didn’t receive either.

There is nothing wrong with you. No husband has ever thought this way about his tool stash...the barely used routers and circular saws for the one or two projects that they might get to some day, the crap ton of screws and nails, etc. There are way more Home Depots and Lowes and what have you than there are LSS. You're just keeping tools and supplies handy. My husband hoards the left over end cuts of 2x4’s, you know, “just in case.” So yeah. DH purged his hoard of scrap pieces of wood that he has had for years and guess what? Yep, a month later he needed those boards and had to cut up a new one into little pieces. I cleaned my basement out and had a yard sale only to find i needed some of the stuff a year later. Purging is grossly overrated!

I use my standard VISA card for AliExpress, have for years without any problems. It has a low total so even if for some reason the card got compromised and Visa didn't cover it, I'm not out much. Never have had an issue with authentication or payment processing. Like PayPal, AliExpress doesn't give your financial details to the individual sellers. You pay them, they hold the money until the order is complete, then they pay the sellers. That is why you need to verify receipt of goods before they pay the vendor. I have also noticed that if i make more than 3 transactions at the same time it adds the step of typing in the “code” before processing the order. i use a regular credit card that is only for online purchases for the last 3 jyears with no isseds. I understand that Alipay is considered more secure than Paypal. I do like the idea of the bluebird card, will have to look into that one.

I’m right there with you, last month our basement family room flooded. Now im faced with moving everything including my stash to another location so we can replace the carpet. I thought the same thing about my stack of paper but I bought it because I LOVE it. Yes, i plan to purge some as I move it but it won’t be by very much. Now my enamel dot, sequins, glitter and thickers stash are a different story.

I’m thrilled that I can now get the TH distressed 4 pad in the minis. I use this pad a lot and have always been aggravated that it was so hard to ink larger stamps with it.

Ya she has videos and I've read some threads online. She says to use a baby wipe. Seems hit or miss. I flooded one of mine so I think it's a goner. A few people said to let it sit for awhile and it may work again. Very frustrating. I may contact customer service but from what I've read they are not sympathetic to their faulty product. I've been reading that her paints dry up on people too. 😒 I wish they would fix the issues. Tried the baby wipe, worked fot the black pen but not the white. It’s frustrating seeing all that paint inside but it just won’t come out.

Does anyone know how to get these to work again after initial use? I get so frustrated with every white pen or marker I have ever owned because they quit after one or two uses! The only reliable white pen I own is a cheapo Gelli roll from HL.

A set of pigment dauber duos from early 2000’s that I bought at ACM on clearance. Next oldest is my Versamark pad but I have a reinker for that one.
