Am I the only one...

[Megan Turnidge]

...who is not patient enough? Everytime I'm working on a hybrid I get way too excited!! I just want to finish it all in one night so I can photograph it in the morning and POST IT ALREADY! LOL! But, I can't. This project requires I do a blog post so I had to stop what i was doing last night so I could wait until morning to photograph the process. Sigh. Oh, and I have to wait until July 1st to post it. That is just forever away!!

yep - I am the same way

[ColleenSwerb]

I usually have 4 or 5 projects going at once, lol. So I just go work on something else!

[Contance]

Oh, I hear ya, feel the same way!!

Can't wait to see what you have come up with, LOL (did that help any)

Oh, I'm always working on only 1 or 2. I like to finish one before starting on another.

[Heather Roselli]

I know exactly what you mean!!!

[cindyg]

Yes! And then after its posted I look at it and think "Oh I should have done that" or "it needs more stuff on it" or something!!! I keep telling myself to let it sit and take another look at it another day, but I want to get it out of the way!

I'm starting one now... and the only other attempt so far hasn't been the best because I tried to use mod podge and didn't wait- swears and bubbles everywhere! Eeek!

[Megan Turnidge]

Haha! Yeah, you gotta give Mod Podge time! It won't let you rush it.

[schock77]

I meant SMEARS and bubbles (though they were probably accompanied by swears)!

OK... I just printed out the papers for 2 albums-woo hoo! BUT it's that Kodak matte photo paper (which to me feels just like cardstock but whatever) It says wait 24 hours for the printed paper "to stabilize"

I can't wait to get these done! What if I just cut them out and affix them with the cheetah- then do I have to wait?

I promise not to mod podge!

I've never even seen a Cheetah before. In fact, I've looked for one at my craft stores and I can't seem to find one since everyone seems to own one. I assume it's a dry adhesive? Then you should be fine. I used some Xyron dry adhesive on one of my board books and it's not holding up that great. My pages are starting to come off. That's why I started using Mod Podge to glue. It is a WONDERFUL and very STRONG glue and really not messy if you use a small foam brush. I didn't even get any on the front of my prints! I just don't like MP when it comes to sealing.

Maybe someone else can help you better.... sorry!
