Cards for the Troops

We were stamping on Armed Forces Day! How awesome is that. Today was very successful. We completed 75 cards, plus Braden contributed 10 of his own as well. I will throw in some of mine & make sure we send 100 cards.

I am very happy @how successful this was. We'll have to plan another day of this. It makes me feel good to donate these cards to a great cause.

A Special Thanks to Kim Jaques, Cheryl Simmons, Erzebeth Cook, Braden Cook, Joyce Alenskis & Jackie Peeden for all your help I couldnt have done it with out you!

Liquid Glass

I recently sold some liquid glass to a coworker after she saw it used on a Thank You card I had given her & wanted what other uses are there for the product.

So here are some of the wonderful uses: permanent adhesive, a small amount goes along way. It works well on arylic frames and scrapbook as well as the clear acrylic cards. It works well with felt and tiny objects such as beads. I use it when I add embellishments to projects. It is slow drying so you have to put it aside and work on other aspects of your project. The small tip makes it get into small places. It dries 3D. It does alter the color of some inks. When you are finished using it tap the lid an make sure the liquid leaves the tip. As an embellishment it makes balloons like like laytex rubber balloons. It makes glasses look like real glass, the same for bottles. Put over a buckle it transforms it into a metal looking buckle. SplitCoast Stampers had an article on paper buttons, use 5 punched out designs, I used a flower, glue them together then cover with liquid glass & you have turned paper into a 3D button.
