oh Fiskars,

What would I do without your rulers, mats, and rotary cutters? Surely I wouldn’t be the amateur sewer I am today without you.

(my new curtains- that’s heidi grace fabric in the middle – created thanks to pinking shears and other tools by fiskars)

and speaking of tools, where would I be without these?

The butterfly punch so perfect and the super cool border punches to name a few.

Even if I didn’t work with you, I’d still love you.

Don’t even get me started on the adhesive. It’s my favorite by far.

Have I mentioned generous? Fiskars is, and I’ve got a three-pack of this fabulous adhesive + a punch to send to one of you. Just leave a comment here…

peek

If there’s an on-line scrapbook store that’s both fast and great with service, that’d be a peek into yesterday. (www.apeekintoyesterday.com) Right now I see they’ve got some great deals going on, and of course they carry Prism Cardstock. (I stock up on it every few months- love that stuff!)

Usually my orders are shipped the same or next day, and since Pat uses Priority I almost always get it within 2 days. FABULOUS! They gave away a gift certificate in my last BPS class- and I’m just giving them another shout out- love peek! 🙂

Scarlet Lime

I’ve been a longtime subscriber (and a former guest designer) for Scarlet Lime kits. LOVE the kits + Christy is super nice and puts together great stuff. Here’s a page I just totally had fun playing with and making with their last kit:

My new kit each month is for sure a highlight. Back to play time!!

A.C.

If I was stranded somewhere and could only bring a few craft items, bet your last dollar that an American Crafts fine black slickwriter would be among my possessions. Yes, between that, the metal photo corners, and thickers A.C. makes my crafting a happier time and place.

These yellow thickers- how did I exist without them???

inf-2

If you were here you’d find 11 slick writers, all fine tip, 6 of them black. I love them and use them that much. Oh, and probably too many metal photo corners and thickers too. I love A.C.’s other stuff too- but right now don’t have any. What’s up with that? I dunno… guess I should go shopping!
