Monday Must Have - Green, Blue and Brown and an i-rock

It is probably a weird Must Have, but I have to occasionally scrap with these colors!  It is my absolute favorite color combination.  When I saw the Twig Collection from Little Yellow Bicycle, I had to have it!!  I was so lucky to win some in a LYB challenge, but I had to buy even more!  I'm telling you I could scrap with this one for days!!

This is just a little page that I did for fun!  It is a picture of one my daughter's friends and her PRECIOUS little girl!

This is Love

I just love the way she is looking at her daughter and the smile on her face says it all! 

I want to give a little shout out to my friend Susan Goetter!  I was inspired by her to add little flowers to my felt leaves.  She did a lovely page with punched flowers layered with stamped leaves.  You can take a peek here at it :  Susan's layout.

If you haven't gotten one yet, you REALLY need to get an Imaginsce i-rock tool!  Speaking of Must Haves... I don't think I would ever attempt to put down this many individual gems without one!!  It makes it so quick and easy!!  If you remember from an earlier blog post here, it also has studs!  VERY cool and a definite MUST HAVE!

So, I would love to know what your favorite color combination is!  I'm hoping to try out some that maybe I haven't before.

Thanks for dropping by!

Monday Must Have - Great Scissors

It's another Monday Must Have! As a crafter, the right pair of scissors is a Must Have! Getting the job done right the first time often entails having the right tools.

Do any of you have these scissors?



These are the MOST VERSITILE tool that I own. I would probably not have purchased them on my own because I thought that they were just another pair of scissors! NOT TRUE! I was lucky enough to win a pair on NSBD at Scrapbook.com last year. Wow! These scissors will cut just about anything. Chipboard is not a problem with these. Who would have guessed that you could fussy cut chipboard with a pair of scissors? You can with these!

On top of using these for your scrapbooking, you will find that they are a great tool around the house. Mine are forever disappearing into my husband's stash! I finally promised him his own pair. He has cut metal, vinyl flooring pieces and even balsa wood with these. Actually, my son did the balsa wood. I think that he might need a pair, too! What is really terrific about these is that after all that, I can still cut ribbon with my pair. They LAST and LAST! These scissors are tough!

I will have to tell you though, as good as they are... I still prefer my Cutter Bee Scissors for paper fussy cutting.



What is so great about these? They are small, very sharp and have tiny tip to get the best cuts. I have had mine since I started scrapbooking and they are still going strong! The perfect tool for the job!

So what about you? Are there any other scissors that you MUST HAVE? I want to hear about it!
