My Favorites! Part 2

Welcome back - as promised, here are the last five of my favorite crafting items...













Cuttlebug Machine & Embossing Folders

I love this little green machine! It uses dies to make diec-cuts and embossing folders to emboss patterns. My favorite folder is "Devine Swirls" - it looks like frosting (great for birthday cards) or waves.

Pop-Dots

I use these are cards to add dimension to a focal point or sentiment - love them! :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------













Border Punches

The ones pictured are from Fiskars but I also have ones from EK Success and Martha Stewart Crafts. They are one of my newer obsessions but they are so handy. I love all the different looks you can get from them.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------













Buttons, Buttons, Buttons

I love all the colors - they are a fun and easy was to embellish cards and layouts. My favorites buys are Simple Findings from Joann's, they come in lots of colors and, at $2.29 for 130 buttons, they are a STEAL (not to mention you can use a coupon for an even better deal)!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
















Scotch Double-Sided Tape

This is my adhesive of choice, I love the ease of use. I have tried several other adhesives - glue dots, glue pens, tape despensers, photo splits - and keep coming back to double-sided tape. It is one of the more inexpesive options and it just works for me. :)

I hope you enjoyed my list! Thank you for taking a peek!

My Favorite Things! Part 1

I thought I would share a list of my favorite crafting items. Some are new to my list and others are tried and true friends. If you have something that you can't live without I'd love to hear about it - I'm always looking for a new favorite! Here are the first five...

My red Cricut Expression!

My favorite cartridges -

Paper Doll Dress Up
Doodlecharms
Alphalicious Font
From My Kitchen
Sesame Street Font

----------------------------------------------------------------------------












Bazzill Basics Cardstock

The best cardstock ever, in my opinion. I stock up every CK convention. :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------


















Adobe Photoshop 5.0

I use this ALL THE TIME! My camera doesn't always take the best photos so I rely on Photoshop to correct the flaws and even splice some photos together.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------













Chalkbox Cats Eye Inks

I love all the colors but my absolute fav is Chestnut Roan. I use this to ink the edges of almost everything - ok, I'm a little obsessed with it! It makes things pop off the page and give a little aged feel.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------













Pull EZ Ribbon Purse

I love this ribbon holder!! You just unwind your ribbon from the roll and put it into the zip-open compartment, then pull the end thru one of the holes. It holds TONS of ribbon and you can see everything you have with out having to pull out spool after spool. It's light-weight and roomy. -I have the purple one. :)

Well, that's it for today - tomorrow I will post the last five. Hope to see you then!
