These are a few of my favorite things..

I've been scrapbooking and doing paper crafts for about four years now. It took a lot of trial and error to develop an arsenal of tools for all the cutting, gluing and attaching that I do. These are things that I take to every crop and that I keep close by in my portable organizer when doing projects. Unless I'm desperate or purchasing from Stampin' Up, I never by anything without it being on sale (at least 40% off) or with a coupon. There are many other things that I use but these I can't go without. I will be showcasing other products in the future so check in often!
