Scrapping Favorites

July 11, 2022 By Melissa Shanhun Leave a Comment

Around here I've been doing a bit of tidying up and I've noticed that my favorite products are always thing things left out on my desk. Sure, I'm a digital scrapbooker but that doesn't stop me from having a small sizable collection of craft supplies!

So I thought I'd share my favourites with you! (And yes, a lot of these links are affiliate links, so when you shop I earn a percentage of the sale without any extra cost to you.)

Favorite Adhesive

Tombow Mono Multi Adhesive. Thanks for sharing this one Kristina Werner! It's also perfect for all kinds of craft as it is strong and dries quickly.

I also use the American Crafts Sticky Thumb and Kokuyo Dotliners adhesive rollers for paper on paper.

Favorite Trimmer

Fiskars Procisions Rotary Trimmer. I've had this trimmer for years and it's a nice alternative to a guillotine.


Favorite Cardstock

American Crafts Cardstock is my go to for layouts but also for cutting with my Silhouette Cameo. It's not strong enough for card making but I use it for everything else.

Favorite Patterned Paper

I am a big fan of little 6x6 paper packs rather than traditional double sided scrapbook paper, so I have a growing collection!


Pinkfresh Studio - Happy Heart Collection - 6 x 6 Collection Paper Pack


Favorite embellishments

My favourite embellishments are die cuts! I just love that they aren't sticky, so I can move them around wherever I want them to be, and I can pop them up on foam to add some dimension.


Maggie Holmes - Garden Party Collection - Ephemera - Vellum and Gold Foil Accents


Favorite Letter Stickers

Now this is controversial! I know a lot of people hate them, but I love some foam thickers!

I especially love and bought many packages of the DIY Foam thickers they brought out 10 years ago and they still work and stick to your pages

I also love the Hardcover font, and buy them every time I see them. However they never stick so that's where I use my Mono Multi adhesive!

Let me know your favorites in the comments.

Favorite Photo Printing Place

This is a tough one! I've reviewed half a dozen photo printers over the years. Right now, my favourite for photo books is Forever, and for individual pages, it's Persnickety Prints


Favorite Album

I prefer scrapbook albums without bookplates on the spine as they look great but tend to scratch any surface you open them on! So I prefer American Crafts Cloth covered 12x12 D Ring binders.


Favorite Tool

Several years ago I jumped in on Heidi Swap's Minc Heat tool, I use it as a laminator and for all of my foil heat setting needs. I just love the results I get, I did try a cheap laminator, but love the results with the 12x12 Minc. I've foiled hundreds of items from wedding invitations to birthday cards with it over the years.

Favorite place to buy supplies

In person, I usually head to Spotlight or For the Love of Scrap (a local scrapbook store!)

For online shopping, I head to Amazon or Scrapbook.com - where do you shop for supplies?

What are your favorites? Share them with me in the comments!
