I've been following you for quite some time, and I love your work, your philosophy, your honesty, your sincerity, etc etc etc. But this comment is really about Nick..I have to say - Nick sounds like the smartest kid around! I think his life-view and perception is a product of your artistic perspective blended with the love, support, and faith you have in him. Thank you for sharing yourself, and Nick, with us, your reading public and fans.

But I could surely name several products that have become useless in a short period of time. Mostly the oxidizing of metals troubles me (silver glitter turning really dark and losing the shine, for example).<br /><br />Anyway, I love your card and your kid story. And I'm especially glad that I'm not the only one who sometimes can't bring a gorgeous card from my mind to my table. Way too often that's because I'm trying to duplicate a card I saw on your blog and thought was sooooo easy! (I'm still working on the Hero Arts Christmas tree in the glittered frame. My 10th try last night resulted in a new cuss vocabulary, but I'm NOT giving up!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-26219523122585788742010-02-19T09:09:01.832-05:002010-02-19T09:09:01.832-05:00Sounds like Nick is a chip off the ol' block t...Sounds like Nick is a chip off the ol' block to me! :0) Great card, BTW and glad to hear I'm not the only one that goes through similar processes to get an end result.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12175485808533410938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-56568071010225776462010-02-19T09:01:27.016-05:002010-02-19T09:01:27.016-05:00I know what you mean about cards not turning out t...I know what you mean about cards not turning out the way they look in your head ~ but at least yours looks great!

...I love your card and your kid story tickled me. <br /><br />I don't know what page pebbles are. <br /><br />But I get my sticky sheet from vivalasvegasstamps www.stampo.com it's Miracle Tape brand. Anyhow I've had the same sheets for years, literally like 3-4 years and they are not yellowing. I can't say what they will do in a few more years but 3-4 is pretty good right? They are also pretty affordable. I don't use them as much as I should, maybe I'll take inspiration from you and punch something with mine today.Erin https://www.blogger.com/profile/16708159745535855018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-46400297681658802522010-02-19T08:44:59.900-05:002010-02-19T08:44:59.900-05:00Susan, your card is lovely, even if it isn't w...Susan, your card is lovely, even if it isn't what you imagined. Loved the story about Nick, too --- I can just picture that! About the pebbles, there are those of us out there that have a boxful, with no ideas on how to use them. And now to find out they're going to yellow?

I thought it might be okay for fall cards, but it bothers me that page pebbles I used on scrapbook pages are yellowing when they were labled acid free and archival.

Can't go wrong with pink and glittery. I was just going through some older supplies the other day, and I also had to pitch a bunch of yellowed page pebbles -- not a pretty sight! Anyway, maybe you can use your yellowed sticky sheet with yellow-y glitter colors instead!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380585998046790218noreply@blogger.com
