tools much?

So I love my Tim Holtz Distress Tool to bits!  I use the crap out of them and dull them out constantly, but I LOVE that tool!! So today I tried the Zutter “Distress It All” to make this cute mini book out of corrugated cardboard:

How oh how will I justify ONE more tool to my husband??  I’m sure I’ll find a way!!!

Kelli and I took a Tattered Angels class today and it was so informative! I feel so much more confident using that product and all the other shimmer sprays out there now! I have a collection I’ve yet to use!  Here’s some pictures of Heidi Swapp (AMAZING new colors!!!) making stuff:

Along with Heidi’s new colors, and products Tattered Angels has also releases Chalk Mists that are a paint based shimmer spray, very opaque and brilliant! The new Shimmer Glazes and Glimmer Glams are  brushable mediums that still have the amazing shimmer effect, but they work on non-porous surfaces!!!! So cool right?? I am finalizing the order tonight and dropping it off in the morning!

Here’s some TA sample pictures:

And Prima really is amazing! Just gorgeous! And with a booth full of the nicest, friendliest designers and reps!!

The Donna Downey Canvas Books, Iron Ons, and accessories are super cool! (Kelli and I made one today, and once finalized, the sample will be at the store).  We re-ordered all the new {e.} bling and flowers, just as amazing as the first round! 

Alright I think that’s all I can handle today, but for all of you who heard Teresa Collins is no longer with Zutter, this is true, but her new lines are AMAZING! I placed an order for the store and I can’t wait to get my grubby little hands on everything!!  So how’s that for inspiration, right?
