July Challenge

Scraprageous — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 13:25:17 GMT

Love Sketches? Hate Sketches? Other feelings about Sketches? Well, as you can guess, I like them, so for this month, the challenge is to post a site that gives out daily/weekly/or monthly challenges. One catch - you cannot duplicate another answer. Example, if PageMaps is listed (not a challenge site, so doesn't count - sorry), you cannot list PageMaps in your answer. Sound easy - it really is. There are a lot of sites out there that give out challenges (we do too!) This month's ...

Mini Cards

KMG — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 23:25:40 GMT

Any interest in a mini card swap? I was thinking like a 3x3 size (no envelope)

I bought the wrong paper!

mimsymarie — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 20:53:08 GMT

I went to do my Max & Whiskers swap and realized I had bought the Bo Bunny pet's paper and not the Basic Grey!. What can I say, it looked good. So a swift order into ACOT and hopefully they will be fast delivering. Karen M

Cricut Cartridges

Scraprageous — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 16:25:02 GMT

Not sure if you are interested, if so, I would be willing to drive and pick up (or you can email and do directly with her), but a lady in the next town over just sent out an email with the following information. I do not know her, but figured if you were looking for a particular cartridge, she may have it to sell. ------------------------------------------------------------- Due to the enormous hospital bills that we have accrued from my Daughter's 28 days in Childrens Hospital I am parting ...

Shopping today!!!

Scraprageous — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 13:38:15 GMT

the closest lss has their adhesive refills for $2 (I still love the Tombo stuff), so I just have to "force" myself to run up and buy some LOL They also have DCWV stacks for $8.98, so I bet at least one of those will make its way into my cart. off to get ready to go

Sewing on layouts - do you add

Scraprageous — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 23:02:05 GMT

glue or something to the start and finish points? Just curious. Finished up the layouts for Melody;s pages (sorry I am late everyone - but they will make it to the mailbox Monday morning - still cutting one set of letters, had to get another piece of paper I need to plan way better). However - when I did the zig zag stitch on the edge of one piece, it just seemed very, very loose. Curious - do you start with some adhesive somewhere or just add glue? I added clear liquid (photo safe) ...

Why are copics so expensive?

lbaker — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 04:06:05 GMT

I have been browsing several creative blogs this evening, and I have seen lots of beautiful work done with copic markers. So I started thinking maybe I needed some, then I looked at the prices. Why are they so expensive? I have a couple of black copic pens and I prefer my zig to them. I just really wonder if they are worth the price, and then I see how nice they make stamped images look.

Check out this whale breaching and carrying on in Australia. When we did our whale watch a few years ago we must have been looking at some half dead whales, b/c sheesh! We barely got to see a few flukes in the air. Whale This was a trip of a lifetime. BTW, has anyone watched the show "Whale Wars"? It makes me so sad most times I watch.

Glossy Accents vs Crystal Lacquer

Scraprageous — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 15:14:00 GMT

any comments? I wanted crystal lacquer, product I have used for years, but they were out. I am trying glossy accents - I don't like the applicator tip as well, but it looks like I can put my old one from crystal lacquer on the top of the bottle.

I have heard it works on alcohol inks - any experiences with it in this manner?

Zing powders are here!

Scraprageous — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 15:07:37 GMT

after hearing all the good things everyone has said about these - I finally broke down and bought one. It was tough - between the Ranger and Zing - same price and everything, but the sample color on the Zing looked better for some deer I am putting on things.

Here is hoping I get to play with them today!!!

Scrappy Supplies at Goodwill!

Scraprageous — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 22:29:05 GMT

I didn't purchase, just didn't need anymore solid, flat, cardstock, but they had 100 count packs for $4!!! Before I left for vacation, I found a crop-n-style paper packer for $3 and some Brand new in packages Jolee's for $ .49 each. Wow - never found that much scrappy stuff at thrift stores before - was in looking for a used portfolio case (ds taking art and I hate to purchase new for a semester if he doesn't enjoy). No case, but lots of fun stuff

This is just for fun - no strings attached, no prizes, just fun. Post a link to a blog you enjoy and list why the item you listed looks fun/special/interesting to you. No right or wrong - just fun and gives us all some new blogs to check out Here is one of mine: no idea how/where I came across this blog (could have been this site ) However - I really like the simplicity of her layout for 8/20 - using one of the die cut type pages I find so hard to use - so pretty yet so simple http://www.scrapwhispers.blogspot.com/ PS ...
