I have realized recently that in my early scrapbooking days (relatively speaking) I spent too much money and energy buying stickers and paper. Recently I have put my efforts more to tools that make my crafting so much easier. My favorite recent purchases:
- Martha Stewart Scoring Board (no more ruler needed!)
- Stickles Crystal glitter glue
- 2 inch and 1 inch circle punches
- Fiskars Threading Water Scalloped Border Punch (much quicker than using the Cricut)
- Glue Dots - small size
I wish I could purchase everything all at once but my thriftiness has held me back. I am content using my 40% coupons to Hobby Lobby, Michael's, and Jo-Ann's as I receive them.
I bought my first stamp set by Emma from My Creative Time and absolutely LOVE IT! The set is called "Small Talk" and features a 3" x 3" dotted border along with various phrases that fit in the blank portion of the border. The stamps work great and I found it pretty easy to line up the phrase with the border. I am now a Small Talk stamping fool! The set is extremely versatile and can be used all year long. This is a "Must Have" for card makers.
