Adorable (23 January 2025)
I love this bundle! The hearts are adorable. I love heart doilies, but can never find the right size at a regular store. Now I can make my own. The rub-ons have me hooked!! I created a card by running one sheet through my Sizzix and over my cardstock. The result was stunning. I can't tell that it's a rub-on. It looks like patterned paper.

Cute Set (23 January 2025)
This set is adorable, but I find it a bit difficult to work with. The dark colored "Love" and hearts do not hold the ink well, so stamping, even repeated stamping with my Misti and different inks, results in splotchy images. The balloon die cut does not line up with the balloon stamps. I also wish that the sentiments had matching die cuts. Overall, though, there is still a lot to like about this set.
-
Not for Die Cuts (23 January 2025)
This paper pad is gorgeous, but I can't give it 5 stars. My die cuts will not cut through it no matter how many passes I make.
-
Adorable (30 July 2023)
This die set will make for adorable cards and pocket pages. I like that I can customize my ice cream cone.
-
Fun Collection (30 July 2023)
A fun collection for drinking occasions.
-
Beautiful, but Intricate (30 July 2023)
This set will create beautiful, customized butterflies. I only gave it 3 stars because some of the die cut pieces are so tiny that I find them nearly or completely impossible to work with. I will probably stick to the larger die cuts and then embellish my butterflies with pops of color instead of the tiny dots and dashes that the smaller die cuts make.
-
Looks Great (24 February 2023)
I have 4 of these. I use 3 to hold my collection of ink pads. My pads are handy and easy to see, so I am using my inks far more often than when they were stashed in a drawer. I use my fourth in my rolling cart. I tipped it sideways and filled it with mat stacks. Now I always have a variety of photo mats at my fingertips.
-
Fits SO Many Pages (24 February 2023)
I purchased this binder when my 2022 pages outgrew my previous 3-ring album. It's easy to use and fits well in my Kallax. It is wider than my previous 3-ring album, but it takes up less space than 2 regular albums.

Great Knives (20 November 2022)
I am a total mess when it comes to mixed media projects. This set of 6 knives are perfect for me. I should have been able to complete my project with one knife, but noooo. I'm a hot mess with most mediums and I quickly found myself reaching for a new knife, and then another, and then another, to continue my project. I ended up using 5 instead of 1, and I was thrilled to have a clean one available at every step of my project. The knives cleaned up quickly and nicely, and they store easily.
I'm sure that as my skills improve, I will be reaching for the exact knife that I need for each project, so I am happy to have a nice variety to choose from.

Very Handy! (30 January 2021)
I love this set, and am particularly pleased that the pocket card stadium fits right into my rolling cart. I can keep pocket cards and the Scrapbook.com paper-pads handy and organized while freeing up table space for my current projects.
The drawers on the drawer portion hold my odds and ends that have no other home, and I finally have a place to store my leftover 6x6 papers from my various 6x6 paper pads.
I love the glossy, smooth white color. It looks good in my scraproom. It would be very easy to alter if I choose to.
-
I Need More!! (12 January 2021)
My husband bought me 4 of these pads in different colors. I thought I wouldn't use them often because they aren't big enough to mat my standard 4x6 photos. Boy, was I wrong!!! I reach for these constantly. They are perfect for backgrounds when pocket scrapbooking or making cards, and I frequently grab them for journaling! I use them so often that they stay next to my craft table for easy access.

Ordered Extras with my Zutter Case (12 January 2021)
I ordered a Zutter case which comes with 3 magnetic sheets, and I'm so glad that I ordered this refill set as well. I managed to fit my small amount of dies and stamps on the 3 sheets that came with my case, but it's nice to have these ready to use when I place my next order for matching stamps and dies.
-
Works as it should (12 January 2021)
I bought this to hold my matching stamp and die sets, and it's great. It can fit long dies and my stamps are protected.
I do have to play "tetris" to allow more stamps and dies to fit onto a single magnetic page, but if I start to fill up, I can put my die cuts one one side and my acrylic stamps on the other. Unfortunately, the magnet is not strong enough to hold die cuts on both sides, but that's not a deal breaker as long as the acrylic stamps can stick to both sides.
On the downside, the case I received was a bit marked up. I don't know if this was a manufacturing issue, or what happened. Normally i would contact sb.c because their customer service is fantastic, , however I didn't want to hassle with the post office during covid, and frankly, this will get a lot of use and will not look pristine for long under my care!
It closes securely and easily.

I Should Have Ordered More! (12 January 2021)
I love this tape! So far I have used this tape to label my storage containers, drawers, etc. I frequently switch completed projects for new ones, so I want labels that I can easily remove/replace. It is so easy to write on this tape. Until now, I have used washi tape, but writing on washi tape isn't always ideal. I will definitely use mint tape to secure my die cuts, too. It is very low tack, yet sticks perfectly.
-
Easy way to make impressive card! (26 May 2017)
I took Stephanie Bernard's class offered free here at sb.c and saw how easy it is to use this set. She gave tips and tricks that were very useful. My first card was very easy to make. I opted for the no-gift card option, but am looking forward to using the gift card template on future cards.
-
Removed Caulking!! (20 September 2015)
The first time I used this scrubbie was to remove ink or paint or something not too memorable. The second time, however, was to remove caulking that I got all over my hands after doing home repairs. It worked!! I had to use it for several minutes, but the caulking all came off and my hands felt smooth and exfoliated. I now keep this scrubbie by my kitchen sink instead of in the craft room!
-
Awesome Album (17 May 2015)
I love the look and feel of these albums. I love the versatility of 3-ring albums, and this collection looks great on my album shelf. I will be buying more of these in the future. This red color, in particular, is stunning.

Very Unique and Pretty (17 May 2015)
I bought these circles because I was looking for something beyond the ordinary circles that I've seen. These are very pretty together or separate. I'm giving them a 4 instead of a 5 because they are very intricate and require patience. I have to gently poke out the die cut and then poke out all of the tiny pieces of paper from the template. Having to do this is normal with these types of die cuts, and I think it's worth the end result. I have actually torn 2 out of 3 pieces of each die cut I've made. However, these are great for layering and I can cover up the tears quite easily. With practice I will probably poke out perfect die cuts every time.
-
My Non-Black Go-To Pen (17 May 2015)
Sometimes black is just too dark. I love this brown, and it fills in nicely when I want something a bit more toned down than black. I love the thin and thick side. I've gone through a few of these pens in this color because I use them so frequently.
-
Great Variety (17 May 2015)
I love having labels for a variety of reasons. This packet contains a great variety of sizes and styles. Very versatile.
-
Love these Alphas (17 May 2015)
I love how I can make a quick title or phrase without having to dig out my Cricut. I feel a bit silly, though, as I thought these would come attached on a single plate, based on the photo. They are actually loose. The duplicate letters enable me to run a word through my die cutting machine in just one pass, which is quite nice. They were nearly falling out of the pouch they are designed to be stored in, so I store mine on a magnetic plate. I love having them on the magnetic plate because I can quickly find the letters that I am looking for.
-
Versatile Set, Cute Font (17 May 2015)
What a versatile group of words! I will be using them on more than just travel layouts. The die cuts themselves are hard to read. I may label some of mine so that I can quickly find the word that I want.
-
Love These! (17 May 2015)
This is a great collection of sentiments that I can use over and over again on layouts, cards (inside and out), and other projects. Until now I've had to use stamps or stickers. I like having a die cut version to use, too. The die cuts themselves are hard to read. I may label some of mine so that I can quickly find the word that I want.

I Swapped Confusing Sandwiches for Confusing Dial Settings (24 April 2015)
Pros:
1. I know that my Evolution Advanced can cut any thin die cut. I can buy thin die cuts to my hearts content. This is a huge pro in my book.
2. It's lightweight, compact, and easy to turn the handle. I know I can purchase the motor separately should I ever need it.
3. The handle and directions can be stored in the machine.
Cons:
1. I traded confusing sandwiches for confusing dial settings. The dial settings found on the WRMK website are neither intuitive nor accurate (it probably depends on the paper), so experimenting and paper-wasting are necessary.
2. I cannot use my large Sizzix steel roll dies in this, even though there is a corresponding dial setting for these dies. I tried, but the machine sounded like it was breaking. It took me 3 attempts to get a die through, and I will not be doing it again.
3. To use the smaller Sizzix steel roll dies, I had to purchase an "A" mat, which is sold with a "B" mat. So.....I now own the base, a magnetic base (it's easier to use), two B mats, 1 A mat, and a flexible mat that I am still not certain what to do with. So, I'm not sure why WRMK promotes this product with the, "No more confusing sandwiches" tag line. I have a lot of makings for sandwiches, and I'm confused.
Suggestions:
Scrapbook.com offers a free Evolution Advanced class. This is a must, in my book. Directions that come with the EA are very simplistic. Dial settings are not included with the directions, but are downloadable with the class (directions are on the WRMK website, too, but hard to find).
I gave this product a 3-star rating because the pros are good pros.

The Right Amount of Glitter (20 December 2014)
Darling pad, with just the right amount of glitter. I like bling, but in smaller doses. It's hard to find cat-only paper, so this product is perfect.
-
Love these gems! (20 December 2014)
I've paired these with the sponge dauber storage box and love the combination. No mess and no need to switch pads on a blending tool.
-
So Handy! (20 December 2014)
I LOVE my sponge dauber storage box. It is so handy. It's small enough to keep out on my scrap table, and as a result I am using my inks more often. I printed the template offered by sb.c and it's great. I've stamped each box with a dauber and I've written the corresponding ink name over the ink color. I keep the template loose in my box and grab it to place against my layouts to help determine which ink color I want to use. I store my daubers upside down and I can quickly stick my finger into the appropriate dauber. Quick, easy and no mess. I would have given it 4 stars if the case felt more durable. It's small and will easily fit into my scrap tote, but I will be certain to place it in a secure spot.
-
Perfect Addition for Snap Albums (03 November 2014)
I love these quick pages. I can add extra photos to my Snap albums quickly without having to create an entire page for each photo(s). The size is perfect for postcards. I drop in my postcard and I can see both the front and back of the card.
-
Space Saver (24 August 2013)
I recently purchased these trays to add to my existing set of 10 trays. They are wonderful. They stack nicely and take up little space if you have room to go up vertically. I have my paper sorted by colors, patterns, and kits. I even have two I use for my "to-do" and "in progress" layouts.
I did have an issue with damage to 3 trays, but customer service quickly rectified the situation. Sb.c is awesome!
-
Darling! (17 August 2013)
I bought these to store sand collected on my family's beach trips. The Tim Holtz vial labels are perfect for labeling these vials. They are very small, which makes them very darling.
-
So Cute! (17 August 2013)
These are perfect for the Tim Holtz Corked Vials. They are very tiny, so be prepared to write small! I suggest allowing time for the ink to dry and before placing them on a vial or the ink may smear. These are sturdy labels, so I had to hold them on the vials for several seconds so that they would stick properly and not pull away from the curve. These labels would be darling when embellishing layouts, too.
-
Very Versatile (17 August 2013)
I bought these tubes to collect sand, twigs, rocks, etc., during my family's many hikes. They are great. They seal tight, are compact, and extremely lightweight. I don't worry about them being damaged in my backpack. I use my collections for other projects, but these tubes would be easy to decorate as-is. I can easily see filling them with candy and decorating them as gifts.
-
Love It! (09 June 2011)
This is the perfect distresser for me. It's small, easy to grip, quick, and gives a perfect, textured distressed edge to my papers. I love the loop at the top. I just clip it right on to my crop go-to bag.
-
Fun Punch (26 February 2011)
I love the Fiskars Border/Corner punches. Great designs, and very easy to use as long as you work in 1-inch increments (12x12, 11x11, 8x6 and on and on).
Directions are on the back of the package. There is a small learning curve, but I thought it was easy.
-
Perfect Color, Perfect Texture (19 August 2010)
I am so happy that I purchased a multi-pack of this cardstock. I'm always running out of black, and never seem to have 2 pieces that match. This will no longer be a problem! As with all Bazzill, I love the texture. The color is a good, solid basic black.
-
Perfect for Vellum (19 August 2010)
I love these sheets. When I first used them, I couldn't see them and wondered if I was applying them correctly. They are very small and see-through. Once I got the hang of them, application became a breeze. I like how I can cut off just the amount that I need.
-
Great Colors and Texture (19 August 2010)
I love this cardstock. The colors are perfect for my current retro-project. The texture is very nice; subtle and not overwhelming, but definitely noticeable. The cardstock feels sturdy, too.
-
Lovely Album (19 August 2010)
I am so happy with this album. The color is great for a masculine or retro album. There are two pockets on the inside, which will be great for my unscrapped empherma. I had a bit of a tough time getting the manufacturer sticker off of the label, and for that I give this product a 4 instead of a 5.
-
So Easy to Use! (16 August 2010)
I love these pages. They are so easy to use. I had no problems sliding in my layouts. I was able to organize and put them together in a 3-ring album in very quickly. I don't think I'll ever go back to post-bound!
-
Wonderful Album (16 August 2010)
I ordered this for a gift for my son's vacation album. I put about 36 page protectors in there, and my pages ranged from flat to slightly bulky. The cover did not close completely, but enough to protect the pages inside. I would have given this 5 stars had I been able to close the cover.
The inside pocket is a wonderful feature. I was able to take DS's postcards and tickets from his trip and place them in the pocket. He really enjoyed having them there, and I didn't feel the need to create additional layouts to display them.
This album feels very sturdy, and I love the smooth finish. I like it so much that I immediately ordered a second one.
-
Fun Papers! (23 July 2010)
I love this paper collection. I love the full pages, quarter pages, strips, snippets, squares and mini squares. The combinations that I can put together with this is endless. I am really having fun using these papers. I don't think I've ever gone through a stack or colleciton so quickly before. I would have given it 5 stars if it came with just a few more solid papers. Everything is so wonderful and useful, but I think I will run out of the solids very quickly.
-
So Cute! (16 May 2010)
OMGosh! This stapler and the staples are so cute! I wish I had one of these in my scrapping aresenal long before now. The size of these staples are perfect for layouts and cards. I have always felt that regular size staples were sometimes overbearing or tacky looking on some of my layouts. This size is just perfect. The reach is great, too! Until now, I have been using a mini-stapler from an office supply store, but it had no reach whatsoever. This is ideal.
-
Incredible Markers (01 May 2010)
I am in love with these markers, and I continue to gather more for my collection. I love how I can color ribbons and metal in addition to paper. I use them the enhance patterned papers, and for stamped images. There are a lot of great tutorials out there for the newly initiated. Word of caution: these are powerful pens. Always place something underneath your paper to protect your work surface. Bleeding does occur, but it's not a bad thing. Sometimes the bleeding enhances what I am working on.
-
Fun Paper (23 September 2009)
I've cut this paper up several times to show the different places my family has traveled.
-
Great for Every Surface (23 September 2009)
I love StazOn ink pads. They are perfect for every surface. When I'm not sure which ink to use, I reach for my StazOn. I've used it on slick surfaces and even ribbon. Because it stamps on everything, it tends to stain stamps, though. That doesn't bother me, but I know that it does bother some people, which is why I give it 4 stars instead of 5.
-
My Table is Saved (23 September 2009)
This splat mat is great for my table. No more glue marks or pen marks, and I am creating more because I am no longer afraid of damaging my tabletop. It's very portable and great for crops and classes. I wish I had this with me at a recent crop. Something from the store table got onto my layout, and this would have prevented that. I will always travel with it!
-
So Cute! (23 September 2009)
These memo pages are just perfect. They are slightly distressed, but I can distress them more if I like. There is a nice variety, too.
-
Great for my Travel Layout (03 September 2009)
I felt like I really scored when I found this paper. My family and I had a fun time on the Washington DC Metro, and this paper will add to that memory.
-
So Funny! (03 September 2009)
I was looking for monkey embellishments for a specific layout about a funny monkey. These are perfect and they totally crack me up! Great colors, too.
-
So Pretty (03 September 2009)
These journaling tags are very easy to work with, and they are so pretty and come in a nice variety.
-
Beautiful (03 September 2009)
These letters have a beautiful color, texture and shine to them. I had trouble getting them to stick to the chipboard surface I was using, so I added some liquid adhesive and they stayed on perfectly.
-
Nice Addition to the Vita Bella Collection (03 September 2009)
I bought tyhese to use with my Vita Bella paper pack, and they are a perfect addition. They coordinate with the paper, but add a nice fabric texture to my layouts and cards. The colors are just beautiful.
-
I Love These (03 September 2009)
I love these jewels. They are a really nice size to work with, and stick quite nicely. They add just the right amount of depth to my pages.
-
Cute! (03 September 2009)
I bought these fabric stickers to go with my Vita Bella papers. They are just darling and give a nice texture to my pages.
-
Beautiful! (03 September 2009)
I think this is one of the most beautiful, elegant and stunning paper packs I have ever worked with. Everything coordinates together so well, and I receive a lot of compliments on my pages. The scraps are so beautiful that I save them for my cards.
-
Wonderful Album (03 September 2009)
I have gotten a lot of compliments on this album. It's very simple, yet elegant in a rustic sort of way. There are no page protectors, so I find it challenging to create pages that are flat and won't poke at the pictures on the opposite side. That's a good thing, though, because this album really inspires me to create simple, yet elegant pages. Basically...no bling required!
-
Perfect Variety (03 September 2009)
This collection of birthday stamps is just a perfect variety for me. There are elegant, whimsical, cute, simple, and trendy versions of birthday wishes. I love the "word search" stamp. I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because these don't seem to take up the ink as well as my other acrylic stamps. But, they are so adorable that it's worth the extra time it takes to get the perfect stamp.
-
So pretty! (03 September 2009)
I love to use Glimmer Mist with my white Prima flowers. It allows me to color flowers exactly the way I want to for my layouts and cards. This color in particular is a very nice, neutral color that goes well with everything. People look at the flowers and say, "Wow! How did you do that?".
-
Perfect with Glimmer Mist! (03 September 2009)
I love to use my glimmer mists to dress up these flowers and color them in exactly the shade I need for my layouts. These flowers come in a nice variety of shapes and sizes, so it is extremely easy to layer and mix them up. I think this is one of the best Prima products ever!
-
Fun! (03 September 2009)
I love this cardstock. The colors coordinate so well with each other and with other colors. I love to use this with cards. It gives just enough pop and texture to dress up a card, no matter how small or large I cut my pieces into. It's so versatile that I use every last piece.
-
Good for Worry-Free Crops! (03 September 2009)
I think Kraft paper is delightful, and I am so pleased that Bazzill offers it. I often head out to crops with photos, patterned papers, and embellishments, but I always worry about running out of solid colored cardstock. Now I can just grab my stack and not worry about running out. This paper can be used with any layout.
-
Finally.....a Safe Craft Pick (28 August 2009)
I am very excited about this pick. I no longer have to worry about stabbing myself with my craft pick, or having it roll off the table and needle-first into my foot (happened!). Not only is this pick safe, but it's very comfortable to use, too. I no longer struggle when trying to put a hole in my paper because this tool is very easy to grip and hold on to. A bonus is that the pick can be extended to various sizes. It's perfect when all I want is a tiny prick, and not a bigger hole (or visa versa). I can't believe that this great tool is only $5!
-
A Must-Bring-to-the-Crop Tool (12 July 2009)
I love this punch. I only have one other punch that I always keep handy and bring to crops, and now I have two. It punches cleanly and nicely, and is very versatile. It makes for such a darling border.
-
Very Smooth (17 June 2009)
I purchased this refill recently from sb.c, and put it into my ATG this week. I just love it! It's so smooth and easy to use, much better than what I originally used. The tape I was given with my ATG gun was not from sb.c, and was not the Scotch brand. That tape was so hard to apply. I was constantly fighting the gun. I'm a happy scrapper once again!
-
I Want More! (17 June 2009)
I love these gems. They so easy to apply, and even repositionable if you move them right away. They bring beautiful dimension to my projects, and are so versatile. I like that they are all the same size, with 30 pieces to a single sheet! I am stocking up on these.
-
Awesome! (02 June 2009)
These are so cute and versatile. They are small, 3x3, so they are perfect for cards and layouts. I used one on a layout, and embellished with a star eyelet punched right into the exact date of my event.
-
Dancing with Joy! (02 June 2009)
I am normally not a flower person. My flowers all seem to look exactly the same, just different shapes. This Prima pack, however, has me loving flowers! So many different shapes, colors and sizes to choose from! Plus, they all coordinate together. They are so easy to stack and embellish, and are perfect for layouts, cards, and other projects.
-
Perfect for Cards (12 April 2009)
I love making tri-fold and shaped cards. The problem is, the finished cards don't stay closed. This product, however, solves that problem by creating a magnetic closure. It's easy to incorporate into my designs, and makes people ask, "Wow, how did you do that?".
-
Like a Third Hand! (12 April 2009)
This tool is like having a third hand! I didn't realize that it's really 3 tools in one: sticky point to pick up small embellies and pieces; pointy end to poke out small pieces and corners of die-cuts; and flat part to hold items steady for placement. the end opposite of the sticky point has the other 2 tools. It pulls out, and I use it frequently to hold things and to poke out die-cuts that didn't cut all the way. I love it! No more torn corners because a punch didn't punch all the way through, and no more struggling with adhering tiny pieces.
-
Darling (11 April 2009)
These chipboard pieces are darling. They really add depth and color to my Disney pages and are some of my favorite Disney embellies. I would give this product a 5, except that a few of the pieces do not lay flat. Be prepared to flatten some yourself, between the pages of a thick book (for example). Otherwise, these are just perfect.
-
I am Cropping More! (16 February 2009)
I am cropping more, thanks to this product. I do not have a scrap room, and often have to stop mid-page to clear our table or to put things away from my nosy cat. With this product, I can crop right up to the last minute and just pop on the cover on as I clean up. I own two of these so that I can work on 2-page layouts. They both fit easily into my crop bag, and I no longer have to leave the crop earlier because it might be too late to start a project. I recently started 2 layouts just 15 minutes before a crop ended. What an advantage!
I am giving this only 4 stars because of the following: The directions state to be gentle with the magnets, but it's impossible. They are very strong and constantly clank together when loose or placed close together outside of the box. The container itself could be sturdier, however, I would assume that would raise the price.
-
Ribbon Saver (19 January 2009)
This product has me using more of my ribbon. It smoothes out my ribbon so nicely, and did miracles for my ric rac. My ric rac was all scrunched up and the iron just flattened it completely. I like how my ribbon will now lay nicely on my layouts and cards. I do wish that it had an on/off switch, but I have a power strip that I use, so it is easy to plug and unplug. It fits in my crop bag, too, which is a great plus!
-
Easy to Use (27 December 2008)
I really like this product. Rub-ons are fun, but only if they go on smoothly and accurately. These are easy to cut out, easy to place, and they rub on quickly and smoothly. I will only by rub-ons from brands that I trust, so I will be buying more from Basic Grey!
-
Fun (29 September 2008)
I had a lot of fun putting this house together. There are so many different possibilities. The directions are easy, but I strongly recommend reading them first, lol! I was so excited to start that I dug in and read the directions later. No matter, my house still came together nicely. I would have given 5 stars, except that the adhesive parts of this product do not stick together well. Luckily, I found a friend with a hot glue gun, and that worked. Also, my window box got stuck to the packaging and ripped badly when removed. So, no window box for my house, but again, that doesn't matter so much as it just lends way to my own creative solution.
-
Horrible! (14 September 2008)
These letter are dreadful to work with! They are extremely difficult to remove from the backing, and often the sticky part gets left behind (in part or in whole). I am having to use my own adhesive products to adhere the letters, and the result is less than desirable. The letters that have peeled off correctly look great, but the others are curling. I will admit that I love the font and color, but I will never by this product again.
-
This stuff sticks! (27 August 2008)
I recently discovered this adhesive, and it has quickly become my favorite. It sticks so well. I no longer fear my projects falling apart. It is easy very easy to use, however, I gave it only 4 stars because using it does take some time. I like how runners get the job quickly, but this tape gets the job done with great quality.
-
I love this punch! (27 August 2008)
I have recently purchased this punch and am amazed at how often I have already used it. New ideas for it's use pop into my head every day. It provides a whimsical touch, an elegant touch, a creative touch, etc. to all of my projects. It is very versatile.
-
Darling Papers (27 August 2008)
I love this Basic Grey collection pack. This is my "go-to" pack when creating a baby book, card, etc. The paper with the elephants is so adorable. I like how Basic Grey includes "solids" (not 100% solid) papers. Everything coordinates so well. Inking the edges really adds to the vintage look of this product. I like the alphas, too. I took a Basic Grey class, taught by Becky Fleck, and she told us that the adhesive used for the letters is special. It is temporary adhesive for a few moments, before it becomes permanent. It's very easy to stick a letter down, then move it right away. It's kept a few of my baby projects from being spoiled by spelling or alignment errors.

I Am Impressed! (19 June 2008)
Wow! I love both of these products. The Adhesive Dots Roller rolls out so smoothy. The pen, though, is a gem! The tip looks just like the tip of a ball point pen. Using it is like writing on paper. The adhesive comes out perfectly. I was adhering super thin letters (Sizzix Cherish) to my layout, and this pen is the only adhesive I've tried that fits on these letters!! It's not too thick, and it's not gummy.

Sad to see this go! (07 June 2008)
I found this packet in the clearance section, and I'm sad to see it go. These papers are perfect for the baby boy album I am working on. I've looked for other papers, and they are either solid cardstock, or very boy-themed. These are a perfect blend of boy-ish colors, without being solid or too "theme-y". The patterns used are darling and vary from boy themes to just stuff you can use for a boy.

This Album is Beautiful! (07 June 2008)
This album is beautiful. The leather, combined with the stitching and bow, bring this album to a very classy level. This is my first time using a ring-binder, and I must say that I really like it. I had forgotten that this was a ring-binder, and I didn't even notice the rings when I started loading the album. The pages are very easy to turn. There is enough space in the album for either thick pages, or to add refill pages. I plan to use the extra space to store all those little mementos from our family vacation (tickets, postcards, etc.).

Great Product, but.... (07 June 2008)
I really love my punch. It makes getting the perfect punch on my ATC's a slam-dunk. I just cut 2.5 x 3.5 paper for my ATC, then embellish, and punch. However, I find it a little difficult to use. The distance between the top and bottom of the punch is miniscule, and sometimes just placing my ATC in between is quite challenging. I think this would be a better product if 7G provided more wiggle room. On the other hand, once I have it placed, punching is easy and the placement does not slip.

Great Pens! (07 June 2008)
These pens flow so nicely, and even the dark colors show up on dark paper!! I find them very easy to journal with, and the effect just pops off the paper, giving a unique twist to journaling.

The Perfect Craft Knife! (07 June 2008)
I was completely unable to use a craft knife until I discovered this product. With this knife, I am able to control all my cuts. The knife cuts easily, and exactly where I want it to. It's like an extension of my own finger. New craft doors have been opened for me now that I finally have a craft knife that I can use. I keep it handy as I reach for it constantly to fix little cuts that my scissors can't reach. I've been able to finally use my chipboard stash, too! This knife is great when tracing around chipboard.

Unique Gift Album (07 June 2008)
I love these chipboard word albums. I wanted to make a mini gift-album for a friend, but didn't want to take the usual approach with a 6x6 or 8x8 type album. This word album was perfect because it is so unique. I traced the letters, trimmed them with scissors and a craft knife, then adhered to the chipboard. Adding pictures and embellies was a snap. I inked the edges to cover up any mis-cuts, because I will admit that I am not very precise with scissors and craft knives. The result was fantastic.

Awesome Sketch Book (07 June 2008)
I really love this book. I create layouts that use multiple pictures, and I find this book essential. Donna's sketches use between four and ten 4x6 photos to a single 12x12 page. Yes, there is cropping of the photos, but she supplies the dimensions. What I really love is a completed photo is on one page, with the sketch on the other. The sketch side is folded over. When you lift it, 2 more pages are revealed with additional completed layouts. So many visual ideas all in one spot!! Donna includes lots of tips for making these sketches even more versatile. The overall size of the book is small, so it fits easily into my crop bag. I have already recommended this book to many of my friends.

Now I can buy more ribbon! (28 December 2007)
I love my Pull-Ez. Ribbon storage has always been a probem for me, but I am excited that I now have so much room. I no longer have to pass up all the pretty ribbons in the LSS or the Superstore because of storage issues. There is a small pouch under the lid. I use this to store swatches when storing name-brand ribbons. I cut off a tiny piece of ribbon and staple it to the ribbon card or something that indicates the brand/line of ribbon. I also store tiny leftover pieces in this pouch as well.

A Very Unique Punch (17 December 2007)
I love this punch. It's so unique, and very simple to use. You can make either 4-inch or 6-inch borders, and it comes with a template to cut your own circles. It looks like it could be hard to use, but is really quite simple.

I Love Mine! (16 December 2007)
I got my cutting set out this weekend and I love it! It is so easy to use, and very handy. I have a Cricut and a Sizzix, but have to dig them out to use them. I can keep my Fiskars Shape Cutter right on my scrapping table, within reach at all times. I have a couple of other templates that I have purchased. This product is easy to use, instructions are simple, very handy, and very afordable.

My Favorite Trimmer (17 September 2007)
I own two trimmers and this is my favorite. It is sturdy and portable. It cuts straight, and the arm and notches at the top make it easy to measure and trim larger cuts of paper. I always scrap with my trimmer right by my side, but tend to move it out of my way when piecing together the layout. This lightweight trimmer is easy to grab with one hand, which makes it my favorite. The blade is very easy to change. I don't have a scoring blade for it, but I don't need one. I just use the back-end of my tweezers to score my paper (I score right where the blade would go).

Adorable (13 September 2007)
Rain Dots are adorable, and so versatile. I used them recently on a pool party layout. I used different shades of blues, including Bluebell, and some purple and clear. The really popped on my layout. Each time I turn the album to that page, I can't help but be very pleased with how they turned out. They are a perfect accent to any layout.

Great Organizer (03 September 2007)
I love my Cropper Hopper Embellishment Organizer. I never scrap without it. I store my brads, eyelets, metals and other small items in the small container side. I organize by color, and sometimes by type. I can always find things very easily. I use the other side to store my setting tools, and other metal-related items that don't fit into the smaller containers. This organizer takes up very little room, and slips right into my Navigator Tote for crops. I like mine so much, that I bought a second one for my primas, photo corners, and other goodies.

This is an incredible product!! (09 August 2007)
I adore my Lazy Scrapper organizer. It is my number 1 essential scrapping tool. I never have to dig for my favorite things. Everything is right at my fingertips, and it spins so easily. I bring my Lazy Scrapper to classes, crops, and even to scrapbook expos. It allows me to work quickly, and I no longer fall behind in classes because I'm trying to dig for adhesive or a tool from the bottom of my scrap bag. Another benefit is that I have a cat who loves to nibble on plastic packages, so I am able to tuck my Glue Dot packages inside the center where I can reach them, but they are away from her. I enjoy decorating my Lazy Scrapper with embellisments and ribbons. I even found a bling sticker with my name on it. Fun!

I love my LL Organizer (09 August 2007)
I love my Lazy Letter organizer. I now have a place for my leftover letters, without having to dig for what I want. When using my Sizzix, I will cut out a few extra letters with the leftover paper, rather than tossing the paper out (or into my scrap pile). I've even begun collecting unique letters that I run across during my shopping trips. A woman who works for Across the Street told me that her little daughter loves to sort the letters and put them away for her.
