Tombow Glue for Crafts and Scrapbooking Product Review

Summer is nearly here, and with that comes family vacations and much more.  Your kids will be home from school for the summer, and you probably are looking for things to keep them busy.  You may be trying to get caught up on your scrapbooking that has piled up over the year.  Summer is always a wonderful time.  And who wants to use messy glue and expensive scrapbooking adhesives that promise a lot but don't really work?

Enter Tombow Adhesive Glue!  This has to be one of the easiest adhesives I have ever used!  It goes on smoothly, and it is an indeed a permanent adhesive.  You can use it for scrapbooking, crafts, posterboard, etc.  And when you buy one, you will be amazed that you can get the main dispenser for less than $10, and the refills are even less!  It is not messy, and I think just about anyone can learn to use it.  The only thing you have to be careful about is that it is permanent.  Make sure you are certain about the placement of your items before using this adhesive because you will not be able to change your mind!

By the way, this is the best adhesive I have ever used.  I can remember using once that did not work nearly as easily or as well as this one.  Make sure you get the best and accept nothing less!

My Memories Suite Digital Scrapbooking Software Review

As promised, I am finally reviewing the My Memories Suite Digital Scrapbooking Software program.  Check out their website here.  And you can win your own copy of this fantastic software here.


I am not a scrapbooker by any means.  My mom is the one who knows much more about that than I do, but I do enjoy doing projects with pictures.  And I also wanted my mom to get a chance to use it.  I think my favorite thing about the software is that it is very user friendly.  I have no design genius when it comes to layout and design of pictures, but take a look at what I created in just a few minutes tonight.

 

It doesn't show any of the words--my scanner didn't want to behave, but you can get the idea.  There are all sorts of things you can make--calendars, cards, and so much more.  It is unbelievable.  

If you have ever taken a picture in your life and you would like to do something special with them, this is indeed the program for you!  So please go ahead and enter the giveaway or buy it now using this special coupon!

The Slice Safety Cutter Review

Slice™ Safety Cutter - Great for couponers 

Perhaps you have heard of the Slice Safety Cutter, but I have to admit that before I received this product, I really did not know about it.  I liked the premise behind it:

The Slice™ Safety Cutter is the most versatile tool you'll ever own. Features a finger-friendly microscopic ceramic blade that's quick, easy and a safe substitute for scissors. Perfect for scrap-booking, clipping recipes, coupons and news articles, removing shrink-wrap, opening CDs, DVDs, and plastic packaging, and more. Includes a built-in magnet and key-ring hole.

- Ceramic blade lasts longer than steel
- Stays sharp and never rusts
- Built-in magnet and key-ring hole
- Finger-Friendly™ Design
- For left- and right-handers

What first intrigued me was the fact that it is useful for clipping coupons.  I am not a big coupon shopper, but we often print coupons off the computer, and I never enjoy having to cut them out. I was also interested in using it to open CD and DVD packages--I really hate doing that!

When this first arrived, I have to admit that I wasn't too keen on it.  It seemed that when I used it to open packages, it just did not cut through tape or plastic like I thought it would.  I had to press so hard in order to use it--or at least it seemed that way.  I tried to get my mom to use it on her scrapbooking, and she she said she did not have the strength to hold it.  I was afraid I was going to be giving this product a somewhat negative review, and I was kind of dreading it.

Amazingly, I went to use it a few days ago--as a last-ditch effort to give it a semi-positive review.  And suddenly, I realized that I had been holding the cutter incorrectly.  The little blade is almost indistinguishable, and I was not holding the tool at the correct angle.  When I changed the angle just slightly, voila!  The slicer worked perfectly on paper, coupons, and even plastic.  I would not recommend using this on really thick cardboard or plastic--you really have to push hard to make this little cutter work on thick things like that.  But if held correctly, this little tool is invaluable!

As I was looking over the benefits, I noticed that the design is such that you can take the product with you very easily.  It has a hole that easily attaches to a key ring, and it is definitely the right size to go with you!  You can clip your coupons in the store or instantly open any packages you may buy at the store.  You know what packages I am talking about--the ones that are child-proof and/or completely encased in plastic wrap that your fingers just cannot open easily.

My daughter has not had a chance to use this, but she is definitely at an age that this would be beneficial. I am not saying she could not get cut.  She is a curious 8-year-old, and chances are she would be fascinated with the blade.  But she could get less cut with the Slice than a pocketknife.  

In short, this tool is an ideal mutli-task tool for cutting paper, coupons, and much more.  I do recommend doing what I finally did--experimenting with holding and using the Slice. You may have to apply more pressure in some instances than you think you might have to, but I think that most people will be able to do this.  I think you will find this a tool that will use for a myriad of projects and tasks with excellent results.
