Memories don't always have to be digital

It's been 12 years since I traded my tactile sense for scrapbooking for an Epson large format printer. I have rarely used real items in my scrapbooks. Just me, Photoshop Elements and Epson. Everything that makes a good scrapbook page I've bought and downloaded from online designers. I almost cried when I opened the box and saw the REAL tape/tape. I've long since given up simply touching and pasting a 3D object to paper in favor of speed. I have 9 grandchildren, 5 dogs and almost 75,000 photos on my computer and external drives. It was so satisfying creating pages in my head with real world objects that I lay in bed for two hours planning and discarding ideas. I was afraid I had lost the ability to hand put the actual album page together, but I still have it. And it was fun. Just using a computer most of the time really took away the thrill of going to a craft store or looking for goodies online. Hybrid is now the method. It's so nice to let duct tape, duct tape, specialty paper slip through your fingers. I'll always love my digital instruments, but they feel a little special when you know you built something with your own hands. Several times I returned to my workshop just to look at the spools beautifully arranged on a hanging tape/filament spool board. I couldn't just leave these beautiful things in the box, so I bought them via demo! I'm also a magazine lover, and Vasya's tape will revive my depressing everyday reflections! Try this tape. Not only do you improve your sites, but it's great when we can support small or new businesses. I ordered it from my computer one night and it was here the next day. Knaid Co. uses Revain to lift their products off the shelf. And you cricketers, I know you're there! You will also enjoy handling Knaid products. Now I have to get back to my new toy.
