I got this product in hopes that it would be every bit as beautiful as it appears in the picture. Unfortunately the black and whit striped heart is peeling off on one side. I bought this set specifically for this clip, so I am very disappointed in the product. Very poor quality.

I bought the collection kit and the chipboard pieces for this collection. Oh they are gorgeous! And the quality of the paper is divine. I cannot wait to start creating with it. I do wish there were floral ephemera pieces to go with it. But there are so many beautiful floral sheets;; I can easily fussy cut some to make my own.

I love this blush pink color. It works with so many different collections. Everything from Spring florals, summer beach collections and autumnal color pallets. This a my second bottle. The self leveling leaves a perfect dome finish. And I love the sheen of the crystal drops. This is definitely a staple in my scrap room.

These are such a favorite of mine. I have used them with a variety of collections and they look perfect. I love the variety of sizes of leaves. It makes it easy to add depth and interest to your projects. I use the bigger pieces to create a more wow factor and then balance with a scattering of the smaller leaves in an adjacent corner. Check out my gallery to see how I’ve used this product. :)

This die cuts beautifully and makes creating a card a breeze. I love that I can instantly have a gorgeous background for my cards. I just use some pretty patterned paper, place it one a coordinating cardstock and add a sentiment. It’s that easy. I get so many compliments on cards made with this die. I highly recommend. People will think you used an electronic cutting machine; yes it’s that good.

This pen was recommended to me by a friend and has lived up to its reputation. It glides smoothly on mixed media projects. It writes on slippery glossy paper like perfection. I’ll admit, I even use it on plain cardstock because it writes so buttery smooth. Sometimes I use it to doodle in my art journal over layers of acrylic paint. Sometimes I use it on plain cardstock to journal about a layout. It’s versatile and tremendously useful. Definitely a staple in my craft room.

I love Tim Holtz’s Distress Oxides and this color is one of my favorites. It’s the perfect aqua blue to go with so many projects and collections. I bought the bundle knowing I would use this often, and I have. I use the ink pad for stamping and mixed media. I use the spray for splatters, misting on art journal pages and adding to white acrylic paint for gorgeous accents. Check out my gallery to see some of the ways I use distress oxides on my projects. :)

This adhesive is perfect for scrapbooking, cardmaking and many other craft projects. I love how easily it years off the roll. I have used this on projects for years and the durability and staying power is top notch. I never have to worry about my pieces coming loose or falling off. I keep multiple sizes on hand for different needs. The price is great and I always stock up when it’s on sale.

I absolutely love this backpack. It’s perfect to take on crops or to a friends house to scrap. The size is perfect to hold your 12x12 papers. There are a variety of pockets of different sizes to hold your tools and embellishments. The straps are comfy and I get so many compliments on how cute it is. I love the pink and gray color combination. I hope they come out with some teal/aqua options in the future. I would definitely buy more from this line.

I love Nuvo drops. They are a great way to add detail and interest to your projects. This matte white is perfect for subtle drops of color and texture when used on white paper. When used on colored cardstock it gives more of a punch. It levels out nicely and gives a nice domed circle. Sometimes I use to outline florals as well. I have already gone through two tubes of this color. I keep it within arms reach at my craft table. Check out my gallery for some ideas on how to use it. :)

This is one of the core colors I keep on hand for Distressed Oxide sprays. It is a gorgeous color that can be worked for all different color schemes, especially Crate Paper/Maggie Holmes collections.

I have bought multiple packs of these floral pieces. They are so versatile and easy to use on a layout. The colors are vibrant and the style is gorgeous. These would be easy to finish off with stitching or add details with Nuvo drops.

This is one of my favorite colors of distressed oxide spray. It is quite versatile and can be used on many projects. Everything from baby and wedding projects to floral cards. Great quality.

Love this color. I often pair it with pinks oxide sprays like worn lipstick and kitsch flamingo. It’s also great to add splatters to Spring collections. Definitely a new favorite.

I have been wanting to order these for a while. My oxide inks were in a drawer and I wanted them at my fingertips. These are quality containers. I love the size, definitely not too bulky and it fits a great amount of ink pads. I am able to fit my distress oxides along with the fingertip blender. I could probably fit the reinker in there as well. Overall extremely happy with this purchase.

I am so grateful for this magazine and it’s content. There are always new ideas and articles to help spark creativity. The pictures are gorgeous and show all the detail of the scrapbook pages. This is an item I repurchase with each issue.

I love this set. I layer the different dies to create beautiful embellishments and sometimes I mix it up with my scallop heart punch. This is a great set to get if you are trying to jazz up your die collection. You can create lots of different looks with this one set. Plus photo corners. This is a great set to give as a gift to a scrappy friend.

I bought this set primarily for the large heart. I love it! I have used it solo on a card. I have also cut out three of the hearts and used them on a scrapbook layout. It’s nice to be able to create a cut file like piece with the traditional due cut machines. This would make a great gift for a scrappy friend.

I love this adhesive. Not just for its durability but also the size. I definitely use this size most for layering under photos. It’s easy to rip off a piece when needed - I do not like having to cut my strips. Also, the backing comes off nicely, it doesn’t take forever to get it to peel off. My go to in my scrap room.

I love the puffy word stickers that Pink Paislee is creating for their collections. I like to use the words as is, or sometimes I mix up the letters to create new words. Plus the colors in this package go so well with many collections.
