Thank you everyone!
Well for me, the thing in my scrappy studio that makes thing so easy is my Cricut Expression Electronic Die Cutting Machine. It makes crafting SO easy for me! I use it almost every single time I scrap! They are well worth every single penny and you can get some sweet deals on them now that the holidays are coming up.
If you cannot afford a die cutting machine, check out the sticker section at your local craft store (like Michaels, AC Moore, Joann, even Wal Mart, local scrapbook store.) They have some amazing stickers out there now days that make crafting fast, simple, and fabulous! They also have pre-cut die cuts available. They may be plain in the package, but I like to jazz them up with rhinestones, glitter, even buttons. I also like to find just every day things around the house to add to projects. Things like bottle caps, ribbon from packages, etc. can really add to a project. Ooh, and check out local discount and dollar spots at the stores! Target for example always has the cutest stuff! Also, get online and start blog hopping and looking at crafting websites. They can really start to inspire you. Or browse at crafty magazines at your local stores. Or even do a basic google search with something you are looking for. You would be amazed at all the talented crafters out there. I know I sure am. Some of my favorite inspiration spots are scrapbook.com, Two Peas In A Bucket, the Cricut Community message board, and Pinterest is fabulous! Hope that helps!
