I like the ephemera you made better than the purchased stuff!

[@TaraJacobsen]

I am getting there Kimberly... when I am digging in my ephemera box I am picking mine more and more often!

[@Hellephant100]

Love ❤️ them

[@TaraJacobsen]

YAY! Glad you love them!!!

[@lisastevens2607]

Yours are definitely better!

[@TaraJacobsen]

Awww thanks! I am feeling really good about doing my own AND get exactly what I want!!!

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

I hope i get time to play today because I'll be making some grungy tags. TFS

[@TaraJacobsen]

Do it Darcy! Play hokey from whatever you are "supposed" to get done!

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

I'm helping my friend prep for a craft show on Saturday, but I'll make time to play. It's just an insomiatic low energy week to begin with so that's a challenge in itself.

[@TaraJacobsen]

@@DarcysMixedMedia Oh that is nice to do! I hear you with the low energy thing though... I have a stomach bug or something that is really kicking my butt! (literally....hahahaha)

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

@@TaraJacobsen aw, I hope you are feeling tip top very soon.

[@lisastevens2607]

Hey lady! When you have new stamps that that don’t transfer the image very well take a fine sanding block and gently scuff the surface of the stamp to condition it. I just discovered this recently and I called my mom to tell her what I found out and she’s like, yeah that’s what you’re supposed to do. So, look it up it really does work and it cuts out the frustration. 😊

[@TaraJacobsen]

Oh my gosh... brilliant! And such mom thing to say... she should have said you are so smart (and pretty!)...:)

[@lisastevens2607]

@@TaraJacobsen Agreed!!! Lol

[@dannettetheremarkablemaker1375]

Thanks I tried it! I got pretty good results

[@TaraJacobsen]

YAY!!! So glad you had success...:)

[@LoJo99]

You crack me up!

[@TaraJacobsen]

I try and tell my family I am hoot but they don't believe me!
