My favorite scrapbooking tool.
Bam.
If you are hardcore papercrafter, you are probably shaking your head in agreement. If you are a newbie, let me introduce you to the love of my papercrafting life. :)
Back when I started this whole scrapbooking thing, 90% of my time was thinking about adhesive. What kind should I use? Do I have enough for my project? The refills cost how much??!!!! Do I need a different adhesive for ribbon, embellishments and paper? How the #!%$#%^$^$ do I get these Hermafix tabs out of this dang cartridge (seriously, you know what I'm talking about, right?)?
The biggest thing, though, was price. I can't even comprehend how much I spent on adhesive. If I was working on a mini album, I could easily go through three or four cartridge refills. That could easily be $25!
And then I saw one these ATG guns sitting on a nearby craft table (this was back when ATG's were specifically made for framing, not crafting). And the angels' began to sing! It was an investment to begin with, but man, I never think about having enough adhesive. I order refills once a year or so and never think about it again. I also use my ATG for embellishments and ribbon (occasionally I use adhesive strips, but only if I have them). Really, the only other adhesive I use regularly is a liquid for heavy duty use.
So, there you have it. My favorite tool.
