Essentials

So, Ali asked for a list of essentials that we use each time we scrapbook. Here is my list:

1. Card stock- usually the base for any page I make. the colors that I lean towards the most are earthy colors, cream or white.

2. Bright Patterned Papers- love the splashes of crazy colors that you can get. use them mostly for matting pictures.

3. Paper Trimmer- I have two that I use most both are fiskars. One is the really big one and the other is a 12x12 personal trimmer

4. Adhesive- Usually my tape runner from creative memories. but I also like to use a glue stick to get those really little pieces.

5. Sticker Alphas- I use them on just about every page I make.

6. Computer and Printer- Need to use these for journaling since I hate writing on my pages. Really bad hand writing. and also for printing out my pictures.

7. Camera- Probably the most important essential. I have a Sony Cyber-shot. It is really my husband as he takes the pictures. It is huge and I would like a little smaller one to carry around with me in my purse, but for now it works just fine.

I think that is just about everything that I tend to grab when I get started or I'm on the go.
