Hi Guys,

Just checked my email and I had a blog post from Expressions with Heart. She had a great way of storing Memory Box dies. I like it so much that I am going to post here video her for you to check out. Also take a minute and check out her blog. She’s awesome.

I just discovered memory box dies. I can’t believe I have been crafting this long and hadn’t know of their existence. What planet have I been living on? I love their selection. I bought a couple the other day and I see my wallet shrinking in the future.

On a personal note, Cathy our broker came and checked out the house and we are now ready for the appraisal. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks for the patience.

Ah, Monday…. wish I could say that I am glad you are here.

I thought today instead of a card I would do a quick comparison of all the white ink pads that I have. I used paper studios black card stock and stampin’ up stamps to do the test.

The results are:

versacolor pigment white
archival brilliance moonlight white
studio g pigment white
stampabilities pigment white
colorbox chalk alabaster
colorbox pigment frost white
studio g chalk-white
stampin’ up whisper white – sorry I smeared this, this ink seems to take longer to dry than the rest

The hearts are from top to bottom:

Studio G pigment white
Colorbox Pigment White Frost
Studio G Chalk White

My favorites were the studio g pigment and studio g chalk-white. Ironic that they are the least expensive. Whisper white covers well but I have trouble not putting too much ink on the stamp. You must use a very light touch. I also have trouble not smearing it. Maybe it needs heat set?

I hope that this comparison has helped in some way. Email me if you have any questions.

Hope your Monday is a good one!
