Snail Adhesive Changes

Do you buy Stampin' Up!s SNAIL Adhesive? If so, this note is to let you know about a change that's coming.

Stampin' Up! will be switching the type of liner used in their SNAIL Adhesive. The new liner will be tinted blue and it'll be thinner than the previous liner, making the roll appear to have less adhesive.

Rest assured that you're still getting the same amount of adhesive; the only change is the liner itself due to the supplier no longer carrying the current one.

If you haven't tried SNAIL Adhesive before you should.  Why?  Because you get 472" of this permanent double-sided strong bond adhesive in every SNAIL Adhesive cartridge.  It's great for cards, scrapbooks and other art projects.  SNAIL applies a controlled amount of adhesive directly to your project, so both your hands and work area never get sticky. You only need a small amount to create a strong bond, so your cartridge lasts a long time. You can also order refills that slip right into the cartridge case, so you’ll never find yourself without your SNAIL. I know you’ll love this adhesive, and it’s a great price, too!

MDS: Kids in the Park

Recently I've been having so much fun with My Digital Studio turning my niece's and nephew's photos into scrapbook pages, and today was no exception.  Here are two more pages made with existing templates in MDS.  Hope you like them.

ScrapSketch30 Challenge Using My Digital Studio

In case you haven't heard, May is National Scrapbooking Month, and this upcoming Saturday, May 7th is National Scrapbooking Day. Whoo Hoo!!  So in honour of this special month, I thought I would take advantage of what some of the very talented Stampin' Up Demonstrators who are experienced scrapbookers are doing with My Digital Studio. One of those great scrapbooking gals is Alesha Walls a certified instructor for "My Digital Studio". This month Alesha is issuing a challenge on her blog to get out there and scrapbook.  She'll be adding a new scrapbooking sketch every day.  I decided tojump right in and try my hand at her ScrapSketch30 Challenge and show you how easy it is to create a scrapbook page. Here is Alesha's sketch.

And here is my rendition of it. What do you think?  It took me less than half an hour to complete this sketch, and thanks to Alesha's great instructions on how to add a picture to a punched image, I was able to insert my pictures into the two punched hearts.
