Can you dig it?
A couple of things I totally dig right now:
My big red Tim Holtz scissors (by Tonic)
These serrated snips with extra large cushy handles are perfect for cutting rubber, vinyl and chipboard. They even glide through thin metal like buttah. They have a non-stick coating to minimize adhesive build up and are resistant to rust and corrosion. They feel good in my hand, they’re RED (that makes me happy), and they come with a protective cap to protect me from the sharp blades. LOVE these scissors. I’m probably missing them right about now, ’cause they didn’t fit in my blue trimmer for the trip.
Heidi Swapp ghost letters
It took me awhile to jump on the ghost letter wagon, but now that I’m here, I’m enjoying the ride! LOVE how these transparent acetate letters work. Leave them plain, and they sort of whisper your title to you. Paint their edges, and they suddenly become loud and fun. Lay them over photos and papers, and let them add character. They’re a challenge to adhere. Should I use brads, or staples? Should I stitch them on, or use glue dots? Part of the fun is figuring out how to stick ‘em down!

Would LOVE to see a layout or idea where you’ve used these. I have seen them at the LSS and have been curious. Thanks!

Ok so I don’t get the ghost letters, wouldn’t they just disappear into your layout?
Show me a layout please so I can decide that I must have some.

I’m with those 2 above, I too need to see these Ghost letters in action!
