Welcome to a middle-of-the-month blog challenge on the Designer Crafts Connection! This time, we're playing wi th Smoothfoam ™ , one of my new favorite surfaces. Smoothfoam™ is sturdy, resists chipping and crushing, paintable (no tedious prep work!), waxable, stampable - everything you want in a foam product. On top of that, it can be adhered with just about any adhesive, including glue guns. You can get out that dinosaur glue gun from the "olden days" when that was all that we had available, and not worry about whether you are using high heat or low.

Be sure to click on the Designer Crafts Connection logo to the left to see what some great designers have done with Smoothfoam™. You can win the Smoothfoam™  Kit to make me! As you hop through the designer blogs, comment on your favorite projects. Each time you comment you'll be ent
