Stamp of the Month
Dear Stampers,
I just got back from a much needed vacation camping in the Uintahs. We were able to take my parents fishing and four-wheeling to the lake my husband's family has been going to for five generations. It was really exciting to share this special place with my family and make some wonderful memories.

Tips & Tech Savvy
What kind of glue do I use? Here's a run-down of the adhesives and their best uses.
Tombow Mono Adhesive - the Cadillac of papercrafting and works great for paper on paper. You can also use it to tack ribbon, buttons or embellishments in place and it's mess-free! I use this at all of my classes.
Liquid Glass - This is like hot glue at room temperature. Slow drying but super strong! While it has adhesive properties, it is best used as an accent or for special effects like water or glass crackling. See also Glitter Glue which is glitter in a glue - but NOT an adhesive. It dries clear and allows you to easily add glitter to a page or card for embellishment purposes only.
Glue Dots - These little circles are super strong and are great for heavier items like buttons and chipboard. They come in two sizes for versatility. It doesn't bleed through ribbon and is peel-and-stick easy!
3D Foam Tape - Anything 3D you want to POP! Double-sided, cut to length. Make your accents seem to fly off the page with added dimension.
Dotto Dots - These can be repositioned without damage and removed with gentle rubbing. Great for trying out a layout before committing.
Bonding Memories Glue Pen - Both permanent and temporary. With two tip sizes these work great for detail work and hard to reach areas or wide swaths.
Rub & Remove Eraser - For all your 'fix-its'. Use like an eraser to remove misplaced adhesive or rub-ons.
