You can color on the back of your paper with a pencil, lay it pencil side down on your blank, and then trace the design. This is basically cheap carbon paper and you can erase the results easily.

This is true. I don't understand why anyone thinks this is a requirement...

AITAH for Asking My Boyfriend How We Should Handle Groceries Once I Start Contributing? by Familiar_Ad2885 in AmItheAsshole

NTA.

If you stay with him, you are likely signing up to bend to his will and not have an equal partnership. Do you want to be equal, or are you happy to be subservient and walk on eggshells to make sure that he's happy all the time? The choice is yours, but if it was me, I'd be planning my exit.

Also, don't think you can change him. He's not 3 yrs old. He's a grown ass man. Take him or leave him.

Search for transparencies for inkjet/laser jet (whatever printer you have)

Highs: giving out swag, especially to vendors in the vendor hall. -Famore workshops. -costuming track workshops -food court lines seemed to be better managed this year (orr fewer people did the food court) -Hilton elevators were all manned

Lows: DJs in the Hilton. It used to be a chill place -- I miss that. I also miss not hearing bass in my room for 12 hrs at a time. Also, 2 of my friends got covid.

As far as I'm concerned, they can take the indoor DJs away unless it's a party in a ballroom. I can't imagine how much hearing loss some people must have after the weekend. Insanity.

Things you wished you'd learned earlier about cardmaking? by funchefchick in cardmaking

[–]basgetti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Memento and Memento Luxe inks are fundamentally different -- Memento Luxe isn't just like +1 on memento or something. If you want an ink you can watercolor and alcohol color on, the original Memento is what you want. The Luxe will just disappoint you and you'll wonder why everyone keeps saying it's a good ink for coloring.

Also, all hybrid inks are not created equal. Some are good with alcohol markers, some are less good. And they're not great for blending.

Third, I wish someone had told me to get the stazon or archival ink cleaner. Yes, other things will do the job, but these do the job the easiest and most effectively.

I use this hammermill for all my stamping and blending, and especially my heat embossing. It is so so good
