Gwen, so excited about this project and all the ways to use Distress Oxide. I was already a big fan of Oxides but you've shown me so many more ways to use them! So much inspiration packed into these videos. I was going to just watch one this morning and save the rest for tonight, but I got hooked and now thanks to you I'm going to be late for work....
