WOW! What a line-up! If you’re a “local”, you won’t have to spend the night at the Holiday Inn South County Center. But for those of you “out of towners” or . . . if you just need a girls getaway, we have special rates arranged at the Holiday Inn South County Center just for this event. Here’s a link to the hotel.

i absolutely canNOT live without double-sided tape. it’s the best adhesive ever!
my most essential tool is hands down my exacto knife and glass mat. I probably use it everytime I sit down to work!
My favorite right now is my Basic Grey magnetic cutting mat. The magnetic part of it is helpful in so many ways!
hmmm… I live in KC, I may just have to check this out!!!
My most essential tool??
my stapler. No joke, I use it for everything.
My most essential tool. . . .my fiskars cutting tool!

I cannot live without my atg gun!
I need to have my fiskars cutter and my basic grey cutting mat.

I cannot live without my crop-a-dile. Every cent I spent on it was worthwile.
It’s really hard to pick just one but I definitely couldn’t scrap without my ATG tape gun. I use it on everything & can’t believe how fast I can go through 36 yards of adhesive.
I love your store in St.Louis . Every time I visit , your store is the first stop. My tool I can not LIVE without is my crop-a-dile. It makes everything easier to do. Leslie Kiley
My most essential tool?? Probably my art gum eraser - - I’m a messy scrapper - - always need to clean up my layouts!
I would have to say my creative memories photo cutter!
My Scotch ATG gun. I do not know how I scrapped with out it!
Hands down my Fiskars Paper Trimmer. I couldn’t scrap without it.
I have to say that would be my Kokoyo (sp) dot runner, it’s the best adhesive I’ve ever used.
There are lots of things I can’t live without - Tonic Trimmer, Kokuyo adhesive, etc etc etc!
I can’t live without my distresser these days. I love the look it gives me!
Your event sounds like alot of fun…will have to think about that. But the tool I couldn’t live without would have to be my Cutter Bee scissor….I love those things!! But I lose them all the time in piles of paper so I am thinking I might hve to tie them around my neck
Great give away ! I can’t live without my ruler.
scfranson@charter.net
gotta have my inks…….just love those inks!!!
Mine has to be my Exacto knife…
I would say its my trimmer. I use it every time!
Wow - your event sounds AWESOME. It’s one I’ll keep in mind.
I have several, but my most essential tool is my Fiskars paper cutter–I can’t scrap without it either.
My tweezers!!!
By far my paper trimmer is my most essential tool for scrapbooking…how else could I create perfect mats and text box frames????
I can not scrap without stapler I use it on almost all my layouts and cards!!
well adhisive would be one thing I couldn’t live with out! lol. no I love stickers! there great for a quick layout! (I have a 2 yr old and a one yr old so I need to be quick about things or they would never happen!)
the one thing i can’t live without…without a doubt my paper trimmer..couldn’t cut a straight line to save my life if i had to…
My most essential tool is my exacto knife. I think I use it on every page I do.
The tool I use the most are my fine tip cutterbee scissors, I use them on every project.
how exciting!! i already have my calendar marked and am looking into the hotel. is there a price set yet?? thanks for all of the hard work that you have put into this and will put into it!! i think i deserve me a weekend away… can’t wait!!
oh!! i got so excited about the weekend event that i forgot to post my favorite or most useful tool….i can’t possibly choose just one. i guess that i would have to say my fiskars paper trimmer, followed closely by my ranger inks.
I couldn’t work without my Fiskars trimmer. It’s a quick and easy way to cut straight lines and I find that I use it at least 25 time per project sometimes.
Oh, what an AWESOME giveaway! I sure wish I lived in the St. Louis area!! My favorite tool is my Silent Setter. I use it on almost every project! Thanks!
I have a tie for first place: my “tonic” scissors by Tim Holtz and my computer with a scanner/printer. Couldn’t do anything without those two essentials!
Close To My Heart My Acrylix stamps - I just started stamping and now use them on every page!!!
I can’t live without my exacto knoife!!
Hmmm my most essential too would be my paper trimmer from Stampin Up! I use it everyday and it always provides a nice clean cut!
Heather Prins
my SU watercolor crayons and my purple cows trimmer!!!
Ohhhhh - it would have to be ink - and stamps. Adhesive is a core item so it really doesn’t count …does it?
Robyn
Just one!! OK, so basic supplies aside. Probably stamps & ink - probably about 75% of each page has st stamped somewhere.
I think I could not do anything without my Ott lights but for a specific scrapping tool I would have to say my Xyron. I know there’s a little waste with it but it makes cardmaking soooo easy and you can do so many creative things with it. Just the other day I had a scissor cut design (scherenschnitte?) that I put through the xyron and it came out beautifully and made a stunning page. Love it!
My essential tool has to be my paper trimmer… i mean nowadays, everything and everybodycuts with scissors ect….but …for straight cut…got to use my trimmer !
I would have to say Thickers or chipboard letters. I love the different fonts, colors, textures, etc. It’s so easy to grab em and stick em down!
I can’t sit down to do much of anything (I don’t cook, so I’m safe there) without my paper trimmers and adhesives. Thanks for such a great giveaway and for letting me play along.
I have often wondered what I couldnt do without………..and one day I found out what it was. I was searching high and low for my “good old craft knife” and I was accusing everyone in the house “who’s got mum’s craft knife?” I finally found it and had to give it a kiss!!!!!!!!!! LOL.
Luv Sandie (Australia)
I would have to say my paper trimmer and my favorite adhesive Kokuyo. But there is much much more.
What an awesome give-away…thanks for this chance to win! My most essential tool would definitely be my paper trimmer.
~Brenda H.
I have to agree with so many posters. I could not live without my Xacto Knife. As long as I have pattern paper and my knife then I will always have embellishments. Just so many awesome creations can be achieved with that one little cutting instrument.
My favorite, cannot live without tool, hmmmm let’s see….I will have to say my punches….they make life sooooo much easier.
Thanks for the opportunity to play and possibly win…
I think mine would what ever helps me to get the writing on the LO (so mostly stamps, pens and computer).
My most used and favorite tool would have to be my fiskars paper trimmer. Yay, I know it doesn’t always cut straight, but then again none of the othertrimmers I’ve tried do either.
Mm, I am a punches junkie!
Thanks!
Transparencies are a must for me right now… I am HOOKED, even print photos on them!!!
Oooh how difficult is this when there are so man y wonderful tools at our disposal and in many a persons scraproom/bag. If it really had to be one thing then it would have to be my camera as without that I wouldn’t have the photos to scrap !!!!
I can’t live without my personal trimmer! MUST HAVE!
My favorite tool is the Making Memories paper trimmer—the blade sharpens itself every time you use it. Of course, I have many other close second favorites.
Linda Peterson
My favorite is my ATG gun! I couldn’t go without it! Good thing you didn’t ask for top three because then I would have to tell you my crop-a-dile and distressing inks too. Good thing
I think I use my paper cutter more than any tool in my craftroom. I go thru a lot of glue sticks too:) Boy, this is hard because I’d hate to be without any of my tools! I guess I’ll say my giga sized Marvy punches. Final answer: Punches. LOL
i cannot live without my push pin! i love it…i use it for sooo many things…i am always reaching for it and it was my cheapest tool!
I can’t live without my tacky tape and glue dots……
Hugs
Marcia
What a great give-away! My most essential tool would have to be my Scotch ATG gun. I use it on every LO, every card or 3D project.
the tool i can’t live without is my paper trimmer. And I hate running out of glue sticks.
My most essential tool that I don’t think I could live without would have to be my Crop-A-Dile. I LOVE IT. Thanks a bunch for entering me into the drawing. I will keep my fingers crossed! Thanks:) Heidi
I have to pick just one, oh man well I will pick my trimmer, I use it all the time, but my stamps and ink are a my other 2 favorites.
I absolutely could not live without my Photoshop Elements program on my computer. It’s where I edit and print all my photos and I also do most of my journaling in Microsoft Word.
My paper trimmer is the first thing I pick up!!!
I wish I could visit your store. We lived 60 miles south of St. Louis before moving to Alaska 8 years ago. I’m now 500 miles away from the nearest Craft Store…. poor me….
Lisa
I love die cuts and use them on everything. Whenever I go to a craft store, I head straight for the dies. Whether I make them myself or buy Jolee’s, I can’t live without them.
well, I am assuming we have ink , paper, etc so I will say my Cropidile. Wish I had invented it!
The one thing I could not do without, is my craft knife. I think it is entirely possible, doing a great LO using nothing else but paper, photo and a craft knife.
pick me pick me pick me!!! lol!!!!
I can live without it!!!
by paLLina
At the moment my favourite tool is my new cricut, however my most used tool is probably my brown ink pad for ink those edges on everything.
Sue

I love gel pens. For journaling and hand written titles they are the best.

I’ll see you all soon at your October Boo Crop!!!

I can’t scrap without my tape adhesive! haha! I can’t leave without my cutterpede trimmer as well.
It’s so hard to think of just one thing. But when it comes right down to it, the paper trimmer wins every time. Gotta have one. I use a Provo Craft Zision for my portable trimmer, and the Purple Cows 2-in-1 for the big stuff.
I’ve finally given up on my paper trimmer and use my X-Acto knife exclusively. I love it!

Donna

My ATG tape gun and my Genesis Paper Trimmer for sure! Oh, and my white Sharpie poster paint marker, and now that they have a good white marker, I think they are discontinuing it so I am buying all that I can find! The new one’s are paint and not water based white. Too bad they had such a great product and are changing it. Ack.
