I love the Scrapbook.com storage envelopes--I have them in every size available and use them to store my dies. I mount the dies on magnetic sheets backed by light wight cardboard or the paper they come with and then keep the envelopes in plastic containers. I sort dies by brand, special occasion [e.g. Christmas] or type depending on what makes them the most retrievable. The storage envelopes are very sturdy and see-through. They have transformed my die storage and provided a solution that is neat, convenient, and practical.

Tim Holtz dies are reliably excellent dies. This style is fun and fresh and coordiinates nicely with other Tim Holtz dies as well as with any other die which would be enhanced by flowers or greenery.

Graphic 45 has created a fun and lively paper collection to celebrate the famous Christmas poem The Night Before Christmas. The colors are bright and bring a modern look to the traditional red and green. The layout designs lend themselves to many craft projects.

Beautiful papers!

I do love the Bow-it-All--it is nicely made, compact, and works well. The instruction book is a good idea but I found hard to follow. The text is so small that it is very hard to read and I did not find the diagrams much help. The video is good but the speaker talks so fast that I just had the hardest time keeping up with her. Also she is facing the audience and so the observer has to factor that in as she watches it. It would be better if she were filmed from behind so that the observer could view the bow making as she would be doing it. Also the pace needs to be greatly slowed down. Doing this is not intuitive and has to be learned. It takes time to process each step.
