I tested a number of old bottles and found a few either didn't melt correctly or they actually melted but the color also smeared around the image as if I used perfect pearls. Most of the powders were just fine though. Make sure to stir or shake them up first to loosen them up.

All i managed was cutting some Halloween themed items out with my Cameo, I need to finish some cards to mail on Monday. The weather has been so beautiful this weekend that I have been working outside instead.

Another tip that i think was mentioned on another thread
Make sure anything with words on it are spelled correctly and going the right way. I just saw a die with the words on a circle BACKWARDS.

I had that problem too. Once I find a store i make sure I follow the store, from then on it shows up in my favorite store list.

Glad all turned out well. I learned to speak up for myself a long time ago in matters concerning money. It drives my kids crazy, but they haven't grown up having to count pennies. They will learn.

Surely someone else has located a few Aliexpress stores that take PayPal, lets keep this list going.

I agree with all of this. I don't have any real life scrapping friends and there's only so much enthusiasm my DH can pretend to when I'm excited about something but you guys get me. So true! The Ps understand my excitement over getting my pixscan to work yesterday but DH eyes just glazed over as I told him about it at dinner. You would have thought he would have been excited that i managed to accomplish anything involving a computer!

Just wanted to say thank you for this tutorial. I was struggling with that darn calibration photo for a few hours. I watched YT videos but still no success. Then I read this tutorial and lo and behold it worked. I needed to use the flash!!!! So thank you times 10, what would I do without the Ps.

If you're anything like me, you always like to use Paypal whenever possible. I thought we could start a list of stores as we come across them and what type of merchandise we bought there. Here are a few I found yesterday.

1. Care to share your real name and/or SC name? Pat
2. Where are you pea-ing from? Eastern Pennsylvania
3. What is your favorite type of scrapping or what do you do most often? I'm a traditional scrapper but venturing into the land of PL and card making
4. What is your favorite product(s) to use? Basic Grey (sob) and I still love the shabby chic look even though it's dated
5. Who are your favorite designers and/or creative team contributors out there? I don't know many but I enjoy following Jennifer McGuire and Tim Holtz
And for fun.... 6. Are you "known" for cooking anything special? Peanut Butter Fudge, Apple or Rhubarb Crisp and Mac & Cheese
7. What is your favorite season? Any that don't include heat and humidity! Right now I'm not in love with Fall this year!
8. Are you an animal person? Grew up with lots of dogs and love them, but due to allergies the only pets we can have are a gerbil and a betta fish.
9. Share a random fact about yourself... I have been a collector since I was a child, I LOVE to rummage through basements and attics looking for lost treasures.
10. What are you thankful for today? My elderly aunt, whom I write to regularly. We have reconnected and helped each other through the loss of so many family members over a very short period of time. She is why I started making my own cards.

I just watched this video for a DIY ink pad storage tote. I'm impressed but would never go to this much fuss to make it. I do like the inserts he made. DIY Tim Holtz distress ink pad storage m.youtube.com/watch?v=xfae-TcQLyU

I look at restaurant table coasters. Some of them are so cute! And Welcome! Don't fall back into the darkness of lurkdom! I have used them to put in my Big Shot for die cuts. Or put gesso on them to reuse just because they are a great shape, size or thickness.

It's probably hanging out with my missing tiny balloon stamp! They are like little kids, have to watch them every second or they wander off.

More Spellbinders dies arrived, Darice embossing folders many are christmas themed, and TH embossing folders too. The deluge of paper pads and kits continue to flood my store but many are repeats. More binders for the Misc Me line.
Didn't get to sort the cart this week but that's ok, I just got back from WDW and I'm dragging. I like how i put going to TM ahead of going to the grocery store today!

Stopped in Tuesday afternoon and just as I was thinking to myself that they didn't get anything new in the clerk says to me "Do you want to sort through the cart? I have it all ready for you!" I'm not looking forward to when the manager returns. The craft aisle is her baby and she rarely lets me sort through the carts, but then she usually has that aisle stocked by Wed morning.
Now to what I found. I didn't have time to snap pics so this will be rather vague:
about 5 packs each of Echo Park and Bella Paper?? Christmas Kits, about 6 different styles (most were on tan background not white) handmade papers in 6x6 and 8x8 printed tissue paper packs 12x12 7 Gypsies small album covers and inserts/file pockets and more I can't recall 7 Gypsies single style paper packs assorted vintage ephemera packs, journal pages and chipboard tags/labels Misc Me journaling boxed set Baby Bump and cookbook set Tim Holtz embossing folders Halloween, Christmas, etc Spellbinders dies about 8 designs mostly lacy type strips, the gate, cottage, and a few abstract designs washi multi packs in pink, neutrals, and orange Glitzy stack 6x8 pad 6 colors 2 sheets each
Actually it was a rather small shipment SB wise this week, just many of the same items.
Happy shopping!

If I want to feed 12" vinyl directly into the machine I know I have to adjust the rollers, but do I need to adjust my image location on the computer too? I mean do I have to shift the image to the left because the media is no longer centered on a cutting mat? I'm cutting a large image that is 11 1/2" wide. Would it be better to use the mat instead? I don't want to cut it off and waste vinyl.

Picked up a little magnifier on a stand. The eyes are getting old. I also got some more enamel dots and a bazzill mat stack in Halloween colors. They had a ton of new pads this week but nothing I wanted. No Christmas papers yet. Lots of planner items.

Scrapbook Steals finally put up a new listing for the WRMK Magnetic Staple Board. I have lots of steal points hoarded that I want to use. I was waiting for enough points to cover a large purchase including the shipping.

Has anyone bought embossing folders? Yes and all have worked well. Some seem thicker than I'm used to but thats the only difference. I really like the selection on Aliexpress. I forgot to add that the prices for the embossing folders are not as good of a bargain as the die and stamp prices, but still lower than we are used to.

These are so hard to find, anyone know of some nice ones to put inside the card? I don't always want to write my own messages. Looking for non-Stampin Up brands.

Does anyone know of the manufacturer of the PL style page protectors that has the opening slots on the SIDES of the pockets not the top?
I have some but there is no brand name stamped on them anywhere. I store my PL cards and die cuts in them and the side openings means they don't keep falling out when I handle the binder. The cards fit nice and snug. I really need to buy more but haven't a clue who made these.
