are you a "destresser"...?

like me? ....I dont destress every LO, but sometimes I feel that my LO's just need it, you know? It just adds something to it. So, are still using this technique or have you gotten away from it?

I use mostly Core'dinations cardstock so I am sanding and distressing the edges constantly. My BG file set is a staple on my desk. I never put it away, LOL!

I love the distress looked. For some reason my layouts don't feel complete without a little distressing.

I distress on some of my layouts, but now that you mentionned it, I seem to have backed off this technique lately.
I still like the look, though, especially when it's paired with stitiching. Very Happy

I'm with Ellen; I love Core'dinations so I'm doing a lot of embossing and sanding these days.

I distress every once in awhile, it's not a technique I'm in the habit of doing. Love the look though!

I don't distress as much as I used to BUT I still have to distress some....it really depends on the layout I'm working on.

Yeppers! I definately feel like my LO's look incomplete without a little distressing somewhere.

I don't necessarily distress with sanding unless I've covered chipboard with paper or I've used the Core'dinations card stock. My distressing is mainly with inking the edges.

i do. i love distressing and its usually after i finish vacuuming. lmao....however, not all need it and i try to refrain. bounce

i sure do ... almost every layout i distress something on the page.

Not always, but when I do boy lay outs I seem to always fall back to distressing somewhere.

Ditto!!

Not everything, but some things.

I sure do! I love my CTMH distressing tool, brown ink and sandpaper!

Count me in as a Core'dinations cardstock lover and you have to sand that stuff! Especially if you emboss it. LOVE to distress and let me tell you, Core'dinations has a new sanding block that is a must have! I wouldn't have believed it until I gave it a try. And, the sanding pieces are replaceable! Sorry for the little advertisement but I love this thing!
