My favorite tool by far is my Perfect Layers. I NEVER do a layout without them. I use a rotary tool with them to cut as the craft knife that came with mine was junk, but I love the tool! I have turned many people on to them. They are great for doing multiple layers of mats on layouts and cards. Love it!!!!

I have a Tonic guillotine trimmer - this is the best trimmer ever! I can even do a 1/16th inch trim and it comes off clean. Love it!

My favorite tool would be the cropadile.
It cuts through anything so easily and the setting of eyelets is a breeze!

My All time favorite tool is a scalpel or as many call it an exacto blade. i love to cut out little details on my pages and create my own look rather than keeping up to date with the border punches. In the end we all know we probably started scrapping with one of these anyway its the ancient tool that i consider a must have at any level of scrapping.

I do love my trimmer also, but I love my distressing tools. I have the Basic Gray file set and the little heart shaped sander (can't think of brand). Love them.

Well I couldn't scrapbook without a paper trimmer and ruler since I measure everything. Now I can't say I've found the perfect paper trimmer yet but I just got the Cutterpillar and it seems to be working well. I haven't given it a thorough workout yet but I like it so far.

It would have to be my cutter. I have used many different brands and currently have the Martha Stewart 12" trimmer. Works well and I don't think I could do a layout without cutting something!!

I love my Martha Stewart 12X12 self healing cutting mat. I do everything on it. It is the only tool I have bought (so far) and not been disappointed with in some way. It truly is self healing & it is washable.

My favorite tool (or tool pack) is my oval and circle cutting pattern systems by Creative Memories. When I started scrappin' like this I borrowed them constantly at crops at the local scrapbook store, and finally decided I should just invest and by my own set. I am so happy I did, they allow me to get more pics on one page and help crop beyond the four sided. I have my sets out for all my projects, just in case I need them.

My favorite tool is my paper trimmer. Or should I say my paper trimmers; I have the small one for photos, the Provocraft one and the lighted one 'as seen on TV'.

A Spiral Christmas Tree Skirt

Image
Here you see a  gift I just finished this morning for my daughter. It is a spiral bargello style quilted tree skirt. I sewed on it all Saturday and Sunday this weekend and just had the ties to sew on this morning. It's an early Christmas gift kind of like the one I made for my son and his wife a few weeks ago .  T his spiral design my daughter chose also uses a 10 degree wedge ruler but is about 1/3 more time consuming than the randomly placed 5 inch charm square wedge style because you have to spend more time getting the strip formation right.  There was a SULKY brand online tut o rial and pattern for a single color repeat but I liked the slower color change better seen in the t wo photos below . I think the spiral design is enhanced by the more gradual color change. I saw these two spirals below on Google Images but they only led me to p icture link s and not a tutorial. I ha d to devise my own from looking at that pictures.   http://www.backyar...

Paper Stash Storage Solutions: 1- 12 inches of paper

Image
Your paper storage units should suit YOUR needs and YOUR paper storage style. Imagine this: Two people who sit down side by side at a crop party. Soon they will start talking about tool and paper storage. Pretty soon, one will want what the other one has. It all sounds so good --and it is working for her companion. But when she goes out to buy it, and she takes it home, it might be all wrong. Why?? Because those two people will NOT need exactly the same storage solutions! So how do you know what to invest in? And yes, paper storage is an investment. You don’t want to waste money or TIME. Spend your time and money on solutions that are great for YOU! How much paper do you have? Are you happy with your storage units? How do you plan on going about using it? Can you find a specific paper you need in less than 5 minutes? Choose containers and units that appeal to your sense of décor style AND your real storage needs. Don’t be fooled by cute shapes or new prints. No matter how cute, an acco...
