Recourse Review: CraftyPod


Hi,
Todays recourse review is the CraftyPod Podcast with Sister Diane.
She started out a long time ago with cool product reviews, tutorials and interviews. 
Her fist 100 or so Shows are great, free and fun. 
They are still great but she advertises her self and other products. She does not have many tutorials any more. I have found that she kind of contradicts her self as she goes on. 
I still love listening to her podcast I just have to ignore the commercial aspects.
Go try Her podcast in itunes under "CraftyPod" 
Or get a premium subscription and get access to the show notes at:www.craftypod.com

Happy Listing!

Product Review: Zig Markers

Today's product review IS covering the pro's and con's of the Zig Memory System® markers.
 I use he black Zig For every thing! Taking notes, outlining sketches, writing letters, scrapbooking....
                                                  I love the way it puts down the ink.
 I also like the double end feature. It has a chisel/Fine option and a bold/fine option.
I'm sure they have more but those are the ones I use.
                                 Zig makes tons of great colors/shades and saturations/opacities
                                       The fine tip is great for all around writing and drawing
                               The chisel is cool for calligraphy,scrapbooking,filling in spaces and random doodles
 The bold tip is like the platypus of the Memory System® world. It mixes the features of the fine tip and the chisel tip.
Here is an example of the bold/fine marker in action

The only problem I can find with the Memory System® is the fact that it is not a permanent marker; it will not stay on certain surfaces like plastic or vinyl.

You can find Zig markers in the scrapbooking section of any craft/hobby store or in nice selections at a specialty scrapbooking stores.
You can also find them onlinehere
