I'm trying to convince myself I do not need an envelope punch board. **minor hijack** Go back and get it pas2!! If you make a lot of cards, it makes making them SO MUCH MORE FUN! I never use a plain envelope for anything anymore, lol. I made envelopes for all my son's 1st birthday invitations this year and for every card I make for any reason. I LOVE it! Just makes it so much more festive and it's a great way to use up old patterned paper.      |

nicolep, super cute envelopes! I agree, the envelope maker is worthwhile if you make cards.

Thanks oaksong mikklynn and scrapperal! I think a fun envie really dresses up the card. I'm not sure about a good price scrapperal. I just knew I wanted one and bought one on Amazon (I'm obsessed with Prime, lol). I paid $20.99 but you could probably get one at a better price at Joann's or Michaels etc. |

scrapperal I want to say they were under $15 at Tuesday Morning. And even if you don't make cards, the envelopes make cute pockets for scrapbook pages or make a bunch of them and bind one side to make mini books. Or go down the Pinterest or YouTube rabbit holes by searching "what can I make with an Envelope Punch Board"  So, so, SO many things you can do with it!

I went back and bought the envelope punch board for $9.99. Then I went down the rabbit hole and found out everything else I could do with it, now I have to actually find the time to play with it. Originally I was thinking of all those cards I wouldn't have to toss out because I messed up the last envelope in the box but now I'm thinking gift card envelopes, etc.
I went a bit hog wild at TM yesterday. Still no Christmas papers or embellishments but more chipboard letters, tons of embellishments from various companies (sorry I didn't look closer). A few rustic and bright PP packs from a company I never heard of, but they were cute. No new dies/embossing folders either.
What was new was a section entirely of smash book items. I bought small prompt/list booklets for .49 each and some post it/flags thingys. but there was washi tape and pockets, dividers etc to hook into a spiral bound book and those pens with the glue on the other end. I'm making a few journal kits for gifts and these will be perfect. Bought a WRMK glass cutting mat for $9.99 for DD and the teal corner chomper for $9.99 and the letters for me.

I went hoping for the corner chomper, but no luck. I did buy 2 packages of white letter size cardstock. Even though I scrap 12x12, the letter size is so cheap I use it for matting photos and cutting out journaling cards/tags.
I did cave and buy the envelope punch board. It was $11.99 at my TM. You guys are a bunch of enablers!
Other than that, nothing exciting.

Jillibean soup beanboard alphas for 99 cents in decent quantities. Grey, dark brown, yellow, teal, pea green, and pink. I bought out 1 store of all but the pink and snagged several more at other stores. I dislike that they are loose and not adhesive backed, but I love the size and sturdiness of them. All in all, I think I got about 15 packages. I also found a red studio calico puffy red alpha. 27 pieces (1 of each letter and an &) for 1.99. The beanboards come with 205 pieces...so I couldn't pull the trigger on the sc ones for the quantity and price difference. I love when jillibean soup and (probably not anymore, now) basic grey were there as they are true close out pricing and are always a phenomenal deal.

We have a huge endcap of SMASH items and lots of new Jellibean soup bean boards I think the SMASH items were the sale of the week everywhere. I already had the washi tape I liked, but I didn't need anything else. |

I found an envelope punch board for $12.11 at Amazon from WE R Memory Keepers.
Just today, really, I swore to myself that I was not going to buy one more scrappy thing because I had too much and I was going to make all my cards, which is really my biggest love. So that fits right in, right? Sigh. I'm off to buy the board at Amazon. I don't think I'm completely normal...

Our TM must be expecting a large shipment of something (perhaps PL) because they moved all the Authentique, Graphic 45 and punchboard/trimmers to the very bottom shelf where they are easily overlooked. And I was in error--the envelope punchboard I bought was $11.99 not $9.99 like mikklyn said.

Core kits are the special starting this Sunday.
However at my local store they had the dividers. A couple 12x12 paper packs and 2 small sets and solid card stock cards.

Today I saw the full size core kits for 11.99. They had the smaller box kits for 5.99. I picked up the Shimelle one named "lovely" which I had always looked for but never saw in any stores. So was happy to find that.
They also had some flip type packages of cards which I picked up one. 1.99. I saw project life letter sticker packs and dividers.
Also I got the Kiwi collection pack for 4.99 with 24 double sided 12x12 papers(nice).
I also got one chipboard sticker flip pack for 1.99.

I saw the same kits at my store on Wed sneak preview. The letters were only cream colored. They were on the same display rack as the smash book items.

I bought the PL childhood and seasons mini kits and my story theme cards in the waterfall package. I thought these would best work with my smash book and regular SB pages.
TM has extra off clearance items starting today and I have had my eye on a rolling tiered cart for months now and it just went on clearance this week. I have company coming at 10 but I'm zipping over to TM for 9:00 am hoping the cart is still there.

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought of that memory game - "I packed my grandmother's trunk with..." and each person has to recite all the previously mentioned things and then adds another item. If you forget something, you're out. So the scrappers' edition would be: Person A - "I went to Tuesday Morning and bought an envelope punch" Person B - "I went to Tuesday morning and bought an envelope punch and a PL kit" and so on.  |
