You Get What You Pay For

I purchased an inexpensive acrylic stamp set with birthday greetings recently to use in my newfound card making hobby. I cannot get those stamps to leave good impressions no matter how hard I try, not with my stamping platform or using acrylic stamp blocks. I even tried a new ink pad thinking that the old one has dried out too much. No luck. I pretty much wasted my money. I am not happy.

So, being a problem solver, I decided to type up some birthday greetings and sentiments in a Word document and print them out to use on my cards. That is working much better for me. I am more productive and less frustrated with the process. I have a lot of cards to make this year for the birthday club that I belong to and I need things to run smoothly and efficiently. This is going to work for me.

A good reminder that you get what you pay for. Think twice next time and spend your money wiser.
