scrapbooking supplies that make your life easier.

My fiskars crimper.  This one doesn't really make it easier...but it is soooo much fun.

I made the bottom part of this cupcake with it. My daughter loves to use it too--it so easy to turn!


My Xyron sticker maker. You stick it in one end and pull out it out the other side and you have made a sticker--it's so great for all those letters. I just get so much stinking glue all over me that I love love this. I am going to invest in the next size up cause I love it so much.

My stampin up stamp cleaner.

You just spray one side with the mist. Rub your dirty stamps on it....then rub them on the other side. All clean! Love it. I would probably not even use stamps if I didn't have this!





My accordian file case.
I have each pocket labeled. One for each Major holiday. One for each of my kids. One for alphabet letters. One for tags and embellishements that don't fit anywhere else. So when we get cute valentines day cards...I just stick them in the valentines pocket. And when we get an invitation to a super hero party...that goes in my son's pouch. When my daughter gets weighed and measured--I take that piece of paper they give to me and stuff it in her pocket. That way, whenever I am scrapbooking a certain thing...I can just empty out the pocket and I have all this stuff that would have been forgotten about.

 ( I am what I like to call a "Craft Hoarder". I have a difficult time throwing anything away..especially if it's cute. So all those christmas cards get shoved in here and I use a lot of the fronts of the cards for my scrapbook pages.  Saves money too....Is it just me or is scrapbooking getting expensive?)



This is actually a bridal shower invitation. (Hi KV)

My corner punch. (Insert picture here...or not.) Makes your corners nice and rounded!




And my cricut.....oh my cricut. Where would I possibly be without you? I love you.











Now, I am currently in the market to buy a circle cutter. I just don't know what one I want...I want to be able to cut a bunch of different sizes....really easy. Any suggestions? I need to go to a demonstration so I can just try them all. I bought this new grommet without trying it out...and it is not my favorite so I am too chicken to buy anything without experimenting with it first.

  1. I am waiting for the time fairy to come and give me a whole lot of it, then I will catch up! So for now-I will stick with my motto-"it is not my season". :(

  7. Scrapbooking is a great way to spend time with your children, share your favorite hobby. The supplies for scrapbooking are what make your scrapbook come to life. There are many attractive letter templates that make for beautiful scrapbook page headers, or even write words around the border of a page with the letter template. Thanks a lot.
