Trying new ink is a pretty big step for me. I've been a loyal and true Papertrey Ink girl since the beginning. I love, love, love the weight of their cardstock but I haven't been so happy with the results from the inks lately. I've been going back and forth trying to find ink colors that would coordinate well with PTI's paper. I placed my order on the 1st of August and it was at my door on the 8th!
I thought I'd show the 'chaos' part of this new found ink. Here is where I currently house my ink pads in my 5 x 5 Expedit from IKEA. Something tells me the 30 new ink pads are not going to fit in the same space. I'm back to the constant battle of finding a home for new products (while still having my room feel 'pretty' and organized). Maybe I should just move myself into a Michaels or a Hobby Lobby and take up residence. Think they would mind? Oh, they would have to be pet friendly, I'd need to bring my Yorkie with me!While I started to unpack my lovelies, I decided I would make an ink swatch deck for myself. I also came up with a cross-reference chart to match the different ink colors across the brands I use. The chart is a work in progress as I add colors, but here it is so far.
