This week I have been engrossed with expanding my blog subscriptions across the web. I stumble on a fabulous site and one leads to another in my reading and so on.

I selected some scrap paper from my massive scrapbooking collection for my trial piece. I felt the paper by itself was too perfect and wanted it to look slightly aged so I took a sanding block and distressed it a bit to wear down the top and edges some. I also used a sponge and dabbed brown ink over the entire paper to further add to the aged feel. These are two very easy steps to do to completely change the look and feel of any paper project. After sealing it with Diamond Glaze and letting it set for a few days I was able to attach the bail today with E-6000. It came out crooked but hey, I’m not perfect, remember? [...]
