Q.how do you colour your digi images without the printer ink smudging.
A.lol very good question and one i would like to know too, quite often i get a lovely finger print smudge.i`ve found i need to colour very carefully within the lines and not go over them like i do with stamped images, and if i do smudge the printer ink (which i do a lot) i normally add more shading to try and hide it :D
i find it best to print them on well in advance, the longer you leave them the better chance of no bleeding.



Q.how do you distress you papers.
A.i use the little tim holtz distress tool which is brilliant but before i used to use the edge of my scissors.



Q.where do you buy all your craft supplies.
A.i no longer shop online after having my account hacked so my brother gets my simply sassy stamps for me and i give him the money, the rest i buy from my local craft shop, crafty urchins and if we go out of town i will pop into either webberlys or garners garden centre which also have craft stuff but thats not very often
my card for stamping on i get from rymans.
Updated.
I also pick up papers and other little bits from The Range
