And you are right, we should use stuff before it goes bad. I tend to hoard things, and by the time I pull it out it has gone bad, like my acrylic paints I got several years ago. When I pulled them out recently to use on my Geli plate, they were too old and thick! Stickers loose ther stickiness, I found out when they are old. I think I have some crackle stuff somewhere even! Or maybe it is a crackle stamp!

I don´t use cracke very much, and, I´m sure that it may be dry now, and I note that I´ll use white glue next time. I also have black permanent pens, all dried!<br />This heart is magical!! love it, love the sentiment too.

I need to get a bottle of elmer's glue for home. I love how your page ends up looking like tree bark. It is true about materials drying out. Over the years I've thrown out many a bottle still half full of materials like paint and media. It always kills me. Very cool page today, and thanks for the tutorial. Happy Thursday, I'm off to the dentist but only for a cleaning.

What an inspiring...I just LOVE this post Elizabeth! What an inspiring and beautiful result of this second Thursday tutorial. The crackles really are a big successa and the heart fits perfectly and looks really funky! And that quote: Simply fantastic for the post and now the page is a pleasure to look at and a fantastic entry for your AJJ theme! WOW! You are so right with all the black pens etc. Yes all the expensive stuff- I will not buy this things any longer..each year a whole new thing and if you don't have it you are kind of "OUT". But I will just use up what I have in the future I decided. Bought nothing new for a very long time now.<br />And ruining expensive black pens is worrying! That's the reason I so love the Stabilo Mark it All in Black so much. You can't ruin it. And when you write or mark with it and later take a waterbrush to activate it's pigment in the end it looks like very black ink.<br />If I am not too lazy I sometimes also love to use a dip pen and india ink to write and make marks. This is a fantastic way not to ruin an expensive black fineliner or Artist pen. They all get ruined over plastic .. and gelmedium and acrylics are unfortunately plastic..so when writing over collages or paintings it's the better way to just writing on cardstock and gluing that on -- or writing on tissue and gluing that on.<br /><br />Thank you for this wonderful post! I enjoyed it very much my friend!Happy Thursday Elizabeth!<br />Big hugs, Susifroebelsternchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06501600240752195171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-75732990037691038782018-08-09T00:06:41.927-05:002018-08-09T00:06:41.927-05:00Wonderful page, looks like you had fun playing.
