For those of you who enjoy scrapbooking, which three tools or materials are your favourite? And why? Best if you can append a website which shows their picture or describes their exact use (cos I've found that there are a lot of unique scrapbooking terms that are hard to understand. For instance: quickutz, cropper hopper).
Favourite in the sense that you use them the most often, or because they create the most beautiful effect, or in the sense that they are your best buy (good quality at great value)!
This would recommend good products to the rest of us! And also create sharing on what your individual favourites are.

Narrowing it down to just one favorite it so difficult, so I'll list several things I love using:
x ephemera
x old book pages
x magazine cut-out's
x old sheets of music
x maps
x Nostalgique stickers
x 1 inch square hole puncher
x used postage
x rubber stamps
x distress ink
I could list here forever. :-) These are the items I find myself grapping for the most, though, when working on my projects.

thanks! I think I should get myself some distress ink. apparently clear stamps are very popular now. but i find them kinda expensive. and after you get the stamps you have to get the ink... it's a cycle. LOL!

The cutting system from creative memories is my ultimate favorite as you can cut your photo's in so many different ways.....oval...square...heart shaped. It also cuts borders. My second favorite tool is my personal cutter. My friend has the big cutter and continually has to get up from what she is doing to cut a piece. I like the convience of having it in from of me. Also again from creative memories is the photo cropper. It's so very handy!

Thanks for sharing! Your personal cutter is a board with a sliding cube shaped cutter? that's great for cutting strips off big sheets! I find that one of my most often used tools, though I wouldn't say it's my favourite. Think my favourite for the moment would be this cutter that automatically rounds the edges off photos.
most of my photos come with a white border from the photo printing shop. that cuts down the need to mat the photos - saves time!

My favorite scrapbooking tool is my photo cutter. I would be lost without that! I can't believe I actually used to cut circles by hand! Looking at them now I realize how misshapen they are. I love being able to cut my photos into different shapes - hearts, squares, rectangles, circles, ovals, etc.
