Hi laura! My fave supply? Right now it’s Glimmer Mist. Been having fun with that lately. I have seen this book in barnes and noble and each time pick it up, love browsing through it (love, love, love Jennifer McG’s work!) and then put it back because of the high price (for a magazine)…so, thanks for doing this giveaway!

I’m a paper junkie – I know all the lines, have all the sheets. And recently I have been put on a paper stop and I missed the newest papers and it is making me so sad…b/c you know once a line is gone, it will never come back again!!

I would have to say alpha stickers. I went through a “phase” I guess you could say, where I threw away all my stickers. I wouldn’t use them at all. But now, I am so hooked on alphabet stickers. I love that they come in so many sizes and colors, and have fun mixing and matching them to make a unique title, or a small patch of journaling.
Thanks for the chance to win Jennifer’s book!

I love buttons and anything else that creates unique texture on a page. That really means that I love everything that appeals to my sense of touch, ribbon, chipboard, metal stuff like brads, old hat pins, etc. It is so hard to choose a favorite. I feel kind of like you are asking me which child is my favorite!

This looks like a great book. I love that patterned paper can also be used to ’embellish’. And I love my ol’ fashioned die cutter. Smallish and you can come up with a slug of embellies with just a small tote of dies and a little creativity.
