American Crafts has come out with guides (five in a pack) for putting titles on layouts. I poo-poo'd it at first, but after trying to get creative with titles the last few layouts, I have decided that maybe it would be a good thing to have. I like the grid on guides so you can space the letters differently. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp_bjkuwgo4Anything you thought was ridiculous or not worth the money that you have changed your mind about recently? I should also include that I bought the Minc yesterday for $29.99. Hanging my head in shame.  |

Too Funny!! I always poopoo'd the title guides too. But lately, I've been considering them.

A manual Die cutter. I have a Cameo. Why would I need something that can only cut the dies I buy and can't resize? I love it though.

Thickers. I have a Big Shot and Cricut and said I never needed Thickers because I could make my own titles but I think this place enabled me. I just bought my first 2 packs - the Pebbles Girls Squad word thickers and the Pebbles Heart of Home word thickers.

I never thought I'd buy all the supplies I have. One thing leads to another with this hobby of mine.

Tiny attacher. I already had a stapler so why would I need another one?
Now it is my precious.

I like the grid on guides so you can space the letters differently. I like the idea of it, but I always have to add my own adhesive to Thickers, so it wouldn't work well for me. I never thought I'd buy enamel dots (uh, hello! All that $ for those tiny little dots?!) They are probably my favorite type of embellishment!!  (I justify buying them by purchasing them with coupons or on clearance) |

Wow, I still have my Creative Memories guides from years ago. Use them all the time. I am surprised CM was actually ahead of the times on this!

WRMK Corner Chompers. Who in their right mind would spend that much for a corner punch. Then I bought one, don't remember exactly why, and they really are that good. I ended up with 5 different ones.

I actually bought those guides when Paper Issues had their 50% off everything sale. I figured for $5, why not? And then I did not get them! And they were not in stock. I was so annoyed.  |

I checked on Amazon and they had them with Prime. They were about 9 bucks. Then I remembered that I have over $800 in free merchandise (through my credit card) and just ordered them. |

I never thought I'd get a Stampoholic. I'd seen the MISTI at a show but I wasn't interested. I did after all have acrylic blocks. Then after the MSP threads I checked out the Stampoholic video and bought one. Love it. I do way more stamping now since I can re-stamp an image if the ink didn't transfer completely. In fact I'm considering the TH one since I can use larger paper.

Stamps. In general, to me they are unitaskers. I don't have the vision to see the out of the box uses many others have for them. I felt that one sentiment for birthdays would look the same and would be a single use item, essentially, and I would need tons of stamps to have variety. They were/are expensive and it didn't make sense to me to buy them when I could just use SB supplies.
Now, I am a stamp hoarder. LoL!

Ink in colors. I only started stamping about 4 yrs ago. Now I have more than 100 ink pads. That was a slippery slope. Oh and I love my Thickers alignment guides!

I found one at Tuesday Morning and wondered where it had been all of my life. I know, right?  I used one for a project for a shoebox get-together. These were mostly ladies who have been making cards for years, but none of them had used one before. They were thoroughly entranced. |

The only thing I can think of that I still have is the circle cutters, and the Shimelle stamps. I only stamp on birthday/thank you cards, but, since I helped her create the set, I just had to have them!

An electronic die-cut machine. I got one that cuts any true type font and I'm glad I did. I cut all of my titles with it now.

a manual die cutter. I used to use the Silhouette to create some pretty amazing titlework back in the day and NEVER thought I'd 'go back' to a manual. But i freakin hate using my computer in the scrap room now--go figure!!

Tim holtz stamp press. I am new to card making and stamping so I was not sure if I wanted one. But when I used it with my forest friends stamp and die set from pinkfresh, I fell in love with it more. Now I am enjoying stamping and no regrets of buying tim holtz stamp press. Next on my list is stamps from the ton.
