Hi Stampers!

 

You may have noticed that I "forgot" last week's email with the new class and the organization tips.  I had to take a step away because life got very chaotic:  end of school year, recital week, we filmed a video at our chiropractic office, and my DreamBox arrived earlier than expected.  My house is a hot mess right now.....or should I say, I'm the hot mess.

 

I've gotten the box put together for the most part and I really can't wait to share all the details with you.  Filming for the next class is on hold until I can get to my studio back in order, but it should only be another week.  Hang in there!  I do have a new project for you to check out today that includes all the card measurements (below).  Plus, be sure to check out this month's BOGO Kit special for easy crafting this summer.

 

Here's a little peek at my box....

Q: Why is it called Tombow MULTI-PURPOSE Liquid Glue? Is it because there are two different tips?

 

A: That could be one reason – it does have both narrow/pen and broad tips. But, according to the Tombow website, they call it MULTI because it creates either a permanent or a repositionable bond. Permanent Bond – use while the glue is still wet; Repositionable Bond – use after the glue has dried (feels tacky to the touch). Now you know! Add a bottle of this glue (110755) to your next order, and then use it for your next project. It may become your favorite adhesive!
