ARGH!!!! Warning...this is a rant!

No photos today. No cards to show. I'm so frustrated! ARGH!

I was making domino pins and frig magnets for the craft fair my husband and I are in this weekend. I've made domino jewelry and magnets before and with good results. I COMPLETELY ruined all of these for the fair. The ink ran after I applied the Sealent. I have never had this happen before.

Then I say to myself, "Self! Calm down. Just work on a Christmas card order." I have 30 cards to get to my client. They are all stamped, cut created, matted and just need to be mounted. I'm using a silver metalic card stock for the mat with glossy card stock on top. No glue - NOT ANY KIND OF ADHESIVE that I own is working. The glue dries and they peel apart.

I'm so frustrated. Everything I touch is a mess.

Sorry for this rant but I'm at wits end today. Everything I've touched has fallen apart in some fashion. I sure hope my muse comes back tomorrow. I've got so much to do.

  1. ugh! Just go to bed early and start over tomorrow. There is no time for days like this at this time of year. It always happens to me when I'm in a rush to get things done, too. I hope the storm passes and the sun shines tomorrow.

  3. Ohhh no...I'm sorry Jennifer. This happens to all of us. How's the humidity in there?? Is it too humid?

  4. Here's a hug for you. I hope your muse comes back soon because I would miss it, although the dog stuff is pretty good. They just don't inspire me quite like your stamping does. I don't use glue - I use scotch double stick permanent tape. Good luck!

  6. Oh shoot. That really sucks. I hope it all comes together for you tomorrow. Huge bummer on the dominoes. Are you using a different sealer? I had a sealer melt ink before. Hopeful hugs for a much better creative day tomorrow.

  8. Oh no! That's not good. I hope you were able to get the adhesives to work. I've been having that same problem too. I think the air is too dry where I am, and I think that might be the cuplrit!
