If you love Heidi Swapp, you'll love this journal collection.

I love being able to purchase ink pads in coordinating bundles. I'm already planning my fall card making projects and the Tan Group will be perfect. I already have the Spring Group which worked out so well for my Easter projects. Next up . . . the Christmas Group.

I also want to recommend the shape of these new ink pads. It's so easy to get a good grip with the grooved containers making slips and smears less likely.

Cute paper pack for children's scrapbook pages and paper projects. Our grandson starts kindergarten in September and I'm planning on making a keepsake folio using this kit.

I completed this little accent pillow in one day. Directions are easy to follow, although I did make a few notations for changes should I decide to make another pillow. If you've sewn for any length of time you probably have your own "tricks of the trade" which would make the construction time even shorter.

Graphic45 has elevated my paper crafts to a whole new level and this Square Tag & Clock Die set is fantastic. The intricacy of the clock die is amazing.

Bought this paper thinking it was part of the Kaisercraft Romantique collection. My mistake . . . should have read the description more carefully. Nice paper but DOES NOT match the Kaisercraft collection.

Bought this thinking it was part of the Kaisercraft Romantique collection. My mistake. Should have read the details. Don't make my mistake. This DOES NOT match the soft hued palette of the Kaisercraft collection.

Perfect addition to the Romantique collection. However, could be used for any page or card layout.

So, the distressing part of this tool is perfect for card making. The sanding edges are a bit rough for cardstock . . . even on the micro side. Don't think I'll have much use for the wire brush attachment. All in all, not bad for a 3 in one tool.

I can't believe I've struggled cutting fabric with a rotary cutter for years without realizing the problem is that I'm left handed. It never dawned on me that rotary cutters were right hand dominate. If you're a lefty . . . you will be amazed at how easy your quilting life becomes with a left handed rotary cutter. Thanks to the ingenuity of Fiskars, this rotary cutter easily transforms from a right handed to a left handed cutter. THANK YOU, Fiskars.

Lovely kraft weight paper rolls to coordinate with all your Graphic45 collections. Perfect for wrapping your handmade mini albums.

I just discovered the Tim Holtz 2-ring binder. Makes creating your own homemade SNAP or Project Life binders for half the price. Recommend you purchase the Tim Holtz 2-ring binder punch as well.

Perfect accessory for the Tim Holtz 2-ring binder. Makes creating page additions a snap.

The foam tape is acceptable however the foam squares are not. They are flimsy and SUPER sticky. Attempting to cut them down to size for smaller embellishments turned into an exercise in frustration. Because they are so sticky, they stuck to the blades of my scissors. Then, when attempting to free them from the scissors they tore into shreds. I had to use Goo Gone to clean my scissors after each application. In the end . . . I pitched them in the trash.

I've never used Distress Ink before. My preference being ink pads such as Color Box and Staz-on. I found the Distress Ink pad to be very rigid and you must use some sort of blending tool for proper application. I was attracted to them because of all the colors available. However after using this one, I'm not sure I'll purchase another.

I love working with the double sided paper from this collection. The graphics are so beautiful that it makes it hard to decide which side to use. Paper weight is exceptional.

This paper collection is not only beautiful, graphically but a high quality paper weight.

I can't get over the weight and quality of the Graphic 45 designer papers. Graphics are absolutely beautiful.

Perfect add-on's for creative scrapbook pages or cards.

Just completed adding these cardstock tags and pockets to my Time to Flourish collection. Can't wait to get started making projects.

Here's a great addition to your Shabby Chic embellishments.

I love the cut apart possibilities of the Time to Flourish calendar pages. Gives card and tag making effortless.

I love the heavy weight of these tags. No need to worry that your embellishments will overpower the tag base.

Another "must have" for any serious Shabby Chic designer.

While I have many Sizzix products, I love the flexibility of being able to add color coordinated embellishments to my projects.

Love, love, love the graphic designs in the Time to Flourish Collection. So many card making possibilities from just one 12 x 12 cut apart.
