Supplies for the Wife ... Need Ideas

Good Day ...

... I hope all is well with you ...

... I sure could use some expert direction ...

... My wife is into scrapbooking. I want to get her 'scrapbooking stuff' for Christmas but, do not know what is good. I know that she has bunches of stamps; fonts; papers; and more ...

... would you be kind to direct me to:

  • must have items
  • sites/links for shopping
  • suggestions to 'round out' a scrapbookers' supply needs.

Thanks much.

Take care. Jim Hughes

If she doesn't have one I would highly recommend the xyron 150. It is under

10.00. It is my favorite tool. You can get it on line or michaels or hobby lobby. It looks like an X. it is and adhesive. Definetly a must have!! Also, does she have any chalks. You always need more paper or albums. You can't go wrong there. Hope this helps.

If she doesn't have a sizzix or quickutz... by all means get her one, you'd be a hero... sizzix sidekick is less than 40 dollars and a few dies are less than 20, you can get an alpha for less than 100 online...

I'm a digital scrapper, not traditional, but how about several small things (packs of stickers, eyelets, a pack of paper you think she would like, etc) wrapped separately & put in a gift basket, then a gift certificate to a scrapbooking store (brick & mortar or online) that she could use to buy that "special thing" she wants but hasn't yet bought for herself? That way you don't have to worry about not getting exactly what she wants.

How sweet of you to help enable her to do a favorite pastime!

Several good pairs of scissors are a must for me. I like the Cutterbee brand. I like the small pointy ones for tiny precise cutting. There is now a Queenbee pair that is for large cutting. I use the big and small on almost all projects. I start with the large scissors when the project is getting close to the size I want I finish off with the small scissors. So, I say take a look at what she cutting with. If she hasn't treated herself to the Cutter bee scissors that might be something for your list.

What a thoughtful husband you are! Almost everyone I know wants a silent setter for eyelets this Christmas. And those who allready have it - loves it :) HTH!
