A Review Round-Up

Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.  ~Author Unknown

Hi there all!  How’s your weekend going?

Today since it has been awhile since I’ve been on a regular blogging schedule, I thought I’d post a round up of some of my favorite reviews I’ve done recently for Craft Critique.  I love testing out products for them. I’ve found so many keepers and it’s so great to stretch my creative muscles looking for new uses and tests I can perform.  In case you haven’t noticed, you can always check the column over on the left for a listing of reviews I’ve done, but I highly recommend you peruse over there as well for all sorts of great info.  All the reporters are so darn talented!

So without further ado, here’s a few highlights  to catch up on ( Also a note, whenever I post about a review or even a specific product here on my blog you’ll see a little “disclosure” link at the end to let you know if I was reimbursed at all (or not) for sharing my opinion, that’s a rule as of December 1, 2009 for all blogs by the FTC).

Donna Downey’s Products <– Click for the review

(Disclosure)

I was sent a lovely canvas camera bag, Unity Stamps, and fun Prima embellishments to play with.  It was so easy to be creative with these.  Here’s a glimpse of what I made:

I had heard of Unity Stamps before but never tried them out… I loved them!

Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 <– Click for Review

(Disclosure)

This program is just so much fun.  It’s Digital Scrapbooking software that works in many ways like Photoshop Elements, but is geared towards scrapbookers and how we think.  It’s also about half the cost of PSE!  Here’s a layout I put together:

And a Hybrid card (both these projects use DSA 2 elements as well, available at Daisytrail.com):

The PanDigital Photo Scanner <– Click for Review

(Disclosure)

An amazing tool you’re going to want to put on your holiday list.  Click the link to see a photo of me in a dress and tube socks with Winnie the Pooh.   (really)

Wet Looks Embossing Markers By Marvy Uchida <– Click for Review

(Disclosure)

I ran across these in Michael’s one day and knew I had to try them.  They work!  I love them!  Exclamation point!

The little birdy stamp on the card above is colored and embossed – it’s a little hard to see… check out my review for a better shot.

And finally… I finally tried, loved, and have become obsessed with a product that I had heard about but never tried.

Un-Du Adhesive Remover <– Click for Review

(Disclosure)

I actually did a comparison review between Un-Du and Duck Adhesive Remover to see just how good this stuff was.  And I’m hear to tell you, yes, it does rock.  Rock it does.  All. Night. Long.

Does anyone remember this sticker from, Oh… circa 2002?

I’m pretty sure it was K & Company… at any rate, it was stuck to a layout I’ve always wanted to re-do.  With Un-Du I was not only able to remove it, but it’s completely reusable.  As sticky as the day I first peeled off the backing and stuck it smack on an ORIGINAL photo.  Gads!  I know!  But the photo’s OK too!  Know why?  Un-Du is photo safe!

*Hallelujah Chorus!*

Oh heck here:

And THAT’s how I feel about that.

Stay tuned for more on reviews in the near future, I’m getting my hot little hands on some awesome stuff!

And we shall craft forever and ehhhhh-ver,

XOX.
