yay, you found me! i'm your hostess for this round of the jillibean soup "bean chase". yes, i'm the one that has to have at least 3 rulers out to scrap. really. i have rulers in my kitchen drawer, for when i scrap downstairs. a ruler by my laptop/printer area, for measuring how big to make my journling. and a few rulers on my scrap island. i measure everything, multiple times. what can i say? i'm a linear girl 😉
so what do you have to do now? it's super simple. just leave me a comment and tell me the one thing you cannot scrap without. and then a random winner will be chosen monday afternoon to win these awesome new stamps and journaling sprouts! so make sure and check out the jillibean soup blog on monday, to see who the lucky winner is. good luck, and thanks for playing the bean chase with us!

Hi Laura~
For me it’s my clear ruler and my paper piercer. I have several of both. I loved reading what everyone’s must have are. I am a first time poster on your blog. Love your work! 🙂

I can’t scrap with out my nonstick craft mat from Bazzill. I can paint or mist on it then wipe it clean and scrap on it. It keeps my table from getting covered in bits of glue and glitter, etc.

I can’t scrap without my paper trimmers. Yes, that’s multiple trimmers. Depending on what I’m cutting, I use different trimmers. Sigh, is there where I admit I have a problem, lol?

Yay, I knew it was you! 🙂 Haha! Although I have to say I’m a little surprised to hear that you’re painfully shy in person! I, too, need my ruler right by me at all times! I use a clear one so I can see underneath it, too! And, I’m with everyone else who said they can’t scrap without a paper cutter. I forgot mine once when I went to a crop… OY! That was NOT fun! 🙂
