Timeless Treasure #8 Sand eraser

How many times have you completed the perfect card and then noticed a smudge of ink where it doesn't belong? You either had ink on your hands or set the card on a stamp you have yet to clean. Or dropped a dirty stamp on the finished card! I've done all of these so many times I can't even begin to count.  A lot of the time an embellishment or the relocation of one of the card elements can cover the boo boo, but sometimes not. If the mark is small it can easily be removed with a sand eraser. I purchased my first eraser at  a local stamp store but have subsequently found them less expensive for a package of four on Amazon than I paid for just one at the store.  Great tool to have on hand! 

Tip:  Make sure the ink is dry before you attempt to erase it so it doesn't smudge any more.  Gently erase with a small circular motion.

Timeless Treasure #5 - Easy Read Ruler

Today's post is short and sweet!

I admit it - I'm a measurer! (Is that even a word?)  I am not one to eyeball the layers for my cards. Of course my ruler and all my trimmers have different increments and it's sometimes a pain in the patottie to have to count the eighths or the sixteenths! Though the dilemma with the trimmer is another story, using this ruler has made life so much easier!  Especially also now that I am visually challenged (a pitfall of aging!) I find this ruler especially helpful. I found it on Amazon.  Thanks Lynn Wallick for bringing it to my attention!
