Dry Embossing with PaperGlide
I’m a new convert to dry embossing and PaperGlide is the reason why! Your stylus glides smoothly and easily across paper, cardstock or vellum with just a few spritzes. PaperGlide is also great for folding and scoring cardstock. Dry embossed images are sharp and clean, while folds are crisp and straight. You’ll be hooked after the first spray!
PaperGlide is manufactured by Inspired Crafts
Happy Embossing,
Latonya and La Tondra

Good Times in Chantilly
We had the chance to travel to Chantilly, Virginia to exhibit at the Great American Scrapbook Convention last month and we really had a blast! We met some incredible people at the show (shoutouts to all who came by our booth to provide encouragement and support) and we were really energized by the opportunity to connect directly with consumers.
We definitely plan to maintain our connection with consumer shows and we'll keep our web site (and blog) updated so you will know when we're coming to a city near you!

Gone Greek - Greek Letters From Distinctly Me
Distinctly Me is pleased to highlight our new 'Greek Letters' in Cork! We've now released these products to both the consumer and retail markets. Anyone who has looked for Greek scrapbooking items knows that it can be challenging to find quality items... Why are Distinctly Me Greek Letters great?
1: You can buy the letters that you need for your sorority, fraternity, honor society, etc instead of purchasing the entire alphabet (and subsequently not using it).
2: Cork is incredibly versatile -- you can use it as-is or apply a variety of techniques to customize it to for your needs. Not sure about what to do? Stay tuned for our first Distinctly Me Blog technique series launching in August -- 'Corkalicious: Top Ten Things to Do with Cork'.
3: We offer our Greek cork in 2 sizes -- 1 inch mini letters or 2 inch letters in the style of our traditional initials. The 1 inch minis are perfect for small albums, books, or photo frames -- the larger 2 inch letters are great for scrapbook layouts (see image below), larger memory books, etc.
Enjoy! As always, we'd love to hear your project ideas and feedback... Our Greek Cork can be purchased via our online store here. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions and let your sorors, lines sisters, pledge class, fraternity brothers, and others know that we've gone Greek!
Thanks,
La Tondra and Latonya

Reflections (and Congrats) re: Scrap-a-Faire
Latonya and I recently (Feb 28th - Mar 4th) had the opportunity to participate in a virtual consumer scrapbook show (Scrap-a-Faire, sponsored by Better Homes & Gardens publications -- Scrapbooks Etc magazine). If you didn't hear about this event, you might look out for the next show targeted for sometime in the Fall. The concept was actually pretty cool -- 5 days of online shopping, classes, giveaways, and chats -- all from the comfort of one's own computer. As exhibitors, it was a neat thing to setup our virtual booth without the use of a handtruck or a hotel stay (smile). We'll definitely think about participating in similar types of events in the future.
We also sponsored a giveaway in our booth, and Patti F. of Calgary was our lucky winner! She'll receive our fantastic Distinctly Me Sampler (including Me Too! cardstock stickers, coordinating papers, and embellishments as pictured below --- Congratulations again Patti!
