Oh, do I have to choose just one - well, I'd say chipboard. So versatile.

I love chipboard as it can be used in so many different ways:)

when i go to pull embellies, i usually go to my plain old buttons first. though recently, i've tried to pull other and older things and have been using clothes tags and other things that are normally thrown away. of course, that's when i scrap. ;0) thanks for the chance to win a class.

That's a hard one. I'm kind of into embellishments made on the computer right now & then "dressed up" in some way.

Do rub-ons count? I seem to always have some sort of a rub-on on all my pages.
Looks like a fantastic class!

That really is a hard one because I have so many favorites but lately I have been enjoying using buttons and flowers.
