I thought I would share a few of my favorite scrapbooking supplies. There are more, but the following are my must haves! I cannot scrapbook without them.
The first item is a cutting mat by Making Memories. I love, love this mat and always use this to lay my project upon. It is big, and the retail cost was $19.99. A great investment! You can see a peek below of the mat, along with my next favorite thing!
I use the Perfect Layers on every single project. They are fantastic for getting that precise mat around a photo. I know they were available at QVC, but Stampin Up also sells them. I have two sets. I leave one at home and one in my crop bag. The one in my crop bag is getting a little dusty. It has been a long time since I attended a crop! LOL
My third favorite item is the glitter glue from Martha Stewart. You can find it at Michaels. I love it because it has a brush on the end and is fantastic for covering large items!
My fourth scrapbooking item that I cannot be without is, this lite!
It is an Ott lite, and it is in my favorite color, PINK! I do much of my scrapbooking at night when my little ones are asleep. With these eyes, this lite is a necessity. I bought mine also at Michaels. I used a coupon and I paid under $40.oo for it. There are many too choose from and the prices vary.
My fifth favorite scrapbooking item is perhaps the most important! It is a paper trimmer by Tonic!
I was upset that I failed to bring mine, when I moved to Texas. I did not think I would come across this trimmer in a store. However, I did happen to find it at Archivers. It is so precise when cutting and the cost was reasonable. I would love to get my hands on THIS. However, due to cost and time to receive the item, it will have to wait. However, the reviews on the trimmer have been fantastic. It is on my wish list!
Okay, I thought I would list five, but there are two more I want to add! LOL I love stamps, so they have to be included in my favorite scrapbooking items!!!
Here is a close up of a few of my favorites right now:
Finally, my last favorite thing is, yes, another die cutting machine! I thought I would never buy another one. After all, I am lucky to have the Big Shot, Revolution, and the Cricut Expression! Why, did I need another machine? Well, first, I was only able to bring a few Quickutz dies with me, and I left my Cricut with a friend. I did not want to take that huge item with me. Thought this was more than enough to justify buying this:
The Slice! I love this little machine. It is so lightweight, and easy to use. I was lucky to purchase this item with a 40% off coupon. However, I think now you are not able to use coupons. I only have a few cartridges, but they give you many shapes and letters on each card. You can find out more about this machine here.
Okay, I must stop, because I could probably think of a few more. I wanted to share the item that I have been using to stitch my circles on my projects.
It is a template by Bazzill.
There are so many different shaped templates to choose from. I love the tools that also accompany them!
I am off to make dinner for the kids and try to relax. Tonight it is Dancing With The Stars and, yes, my beloved Lakers are on tonight! Hoping that they send the Jazz home, but part of me wants the Jazz to win, so there will be another game. I know that sounds and is crazy!!! LOL
Have a great week creating!
