Let's Chat About Adhesives

Happy Wednesday! Before we talk adhesives today, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Samantha Taylor and I am a design team member for the Brick and Mortar Store. I'm starting in a new role today as AWDML's Social Media Coordinator. What does that mean for you? That means daily blog posts (Monday-Friday), Facebook Contests, and a few more newsletters that feature what's happening at the store.   I'm really excited to be sharing what's going on at A Walk Down Memory Lane with you! Now...on to some chat about adhesives.

Tombow Glue Pen


First up is my favorite glue pen, the Tombow Glue Pen. This pen is great for gluing on little letters, gives a permanent bond on lots of materials (paper, metal,plastic), but doesn't stick to your hands (that's the part that makes it my favorite).  


Glue Glider Pro



Next up is a fantastic mono adhesive - the Glue Glider Pro.  This is a great adhesive for all your paper needs. It's my go to for layouts and card making. Not only is it the perfect size, but it glides on smoothly and easily. The bright colors make it hard to misplace on  your desk when your craft space gets a little messy (please tell me I'm not the only one who's done that). Finally, you can change out the adhesive cartridges without using them up. Need a temporary adhesive? No problem, just pop out the Perm Tac Cartridge and pop in a temporary one.






This to That






Up last is a way to add a little dimension to your project. Why not try out the American Crafts this to that foam dots? I love that you get a variety of sizes in one box. These are a great way to bring something extra to a project.














Join me tomorrow to learn how to alter a notebook. It's a great back to school project!

AWESOME Color Combination Site

ColorComboSite I was reading Marianne's blog this morning and she posted about this awesome Color Combination site from Adobe.  This site has all kinds of great color combinations that you can translate to cards, layouts and paper crafting projects or even home decorating.  You can choose your combinations by THEME, color, season or whatever...

Marianne's blog is all about Copic markers.  For those of you who get our Copic marker kits, this is a fantastic site to bookmark.  She posts helpful tips and tricks almost every day and beings she's the one who taught me in the Certification class, she's got WAY better information that I do!  :)

Store & Blog Candy Announcement!!

Chagiveaway1 While away at CHA last month, I was able to get some brand-spankin' new, never before seen, and not yet shipping papers, embellishments, and stickers from various companies when I ordered.  So what, you say???  Well, being the kind-hearted lady that I am....I'm sharing the love!  *wink*

If you place an order in the store at A Walk Down Memory Lane during our last camping trip this week (starting today through Sunday, August 17) your name will be put in a hat for ONE of these goodie packages you see in the pictures!!  But ONLY if you put *I WANT CANDY* in the comments section of the order.  This is ONLY for my blog readers, and the only way I know you read my blog is to add that to the comments section of the blog.  :)

What's included?  Well, I'm not gonna tell you EVERYTHING, but there's some Pink Paislee, October Afternoon, The Crafters Workshop, Scenic Route, Making Memories, My Mind's Eye...and maybe a few other extras I may find laying around from my bag that IChagiveaway2  finally got unpacked yesterday!

*A LOT* of these things aren't even shipping yet and some items in this stack won't be shipping for a few months!!!!  So, if you want to get your hands on these goodies WAY before your friends can, place your order at the store sometime today through next Sunday the 17th.  I'll draw the two winners on Monday morning when I return, and it will be packed along with your order.

Oh, and last but not least, and probably BEST of all................................there is a HUGE sale going on in the store.  Lots and lots of things in the clearance section.  And almost everything else is on sale during the week, just for this giveaway.

So, feel free to tell your friends (well, just the ones you really like, who may share the goodie bag with you if they win!).  We've got enough goodies to go around, so everyone will receive a little extra goodie in their bag that may be an acrylic stamp set, wood alphabet set, ribbon spool, or even a little page kit with paper, ribbon, and chipboard pieces.

See, we go on vacation and you get the goodies!  Have a great week everyone!

What Color Crayon are YOU?

I saw this on another blog this morning, and even though it isn't "technically" scrapbook or card related, it shows off some of your personality in color choices.  Answer a few quick questions, and it'll show you what color you are.  It's kinda fun and it actually picked out my favorite color...

You can click HERE to try it youself.

You Are a Purple Crayon

Your world is colored in dreamy, divine, and classy colors.
You hold yourself to a sky high standard, and you are always graceful.
People envy, idolize, and copy you without realizing it. You are an icon for those who know you.
And while it is hard to be a perfectionist, rest assured it's paying off!

Your color wheel opposite is yellow. While yellow people may be wise, they lack the manners and class needed to impress you.
