I wouldn't want to scrap without. I have about 10 things on my workspace that get a heavy workout every time i'm crafting. I thought i'd share 3 of my favorites with you today.
*Edited* I know i've said it before and I won't say it again till next quarter... :) I can still take a few more sign ups for my Creative Cards homeschool. If your're interested please go Here . And if you've already read this a thousand times, please forgive me.
May I introduce you to my good friend the Scallop Circle Punch! I have this baby in the Mega and Giga size and i've worn out two of the Giga ones. It just looks great on everything and if you take a gander at my galleries you'll see this shape all over the place! Grab one of those discount coupons from your craft store and get yourself one of these! I hear there is even a new Mega Giga Size!
Another favorite is the Color Box chalk ink cat eyes. My favorite is the Lime pastel and I also use this alot! It compliments my favorite color Bazzill cardstock (Green tea) well. Use it to ink the edges of everything... it goes on super creamy and smooth. My other favorites are creamy brown, chestnut and pink. So much goodness for a very little price!
This little item is probably my oldest crafting friend. I remember glittering the heck out of every school project I got my hands on. Big 'ol lines of Elmer's glue and tons of glitter sprinkled on top. I haven't let up since. God must have given me daughters solely based on how much I love glitter. I never ever wear it as part of my wardrobe or makeup! I just not that flashy! Well unless it has fallen on me from crafting. Since i've grown up a bit I indulge in ultra fine glitters. I really like the Sparkle and Sprinkle ones I mentioned yesterday and the Martha Stewart ones are nice as well.
Here's my latest creation with my three favorites!
Since I just can't keep all these cards today i'm going to give this one away to someone who leaves me a comment.
Hope you have a beautiful day! Smiles!
I received my card today in the mail from you...It's even more beautiful in person! Thank you so much!

I really like that card - the colors are wonderful! I've been "eyeing" those cat's eyes at Michael's - they may be calling me a little louder the next time I am in there! I was hoping to find a set of them, but no luck.

I love the punches as well. I have all of them in all of the sizes. I would love to find the blue circle scallop punch but so far no luck. Thanks for the wonderful ideas. You inspire me with every card. Have a wonderful day. Suzanne Klein
