I love all my scrap goodies but I guess I would have to chose cardstock as my staple basic.

[marissa]

My favorite product lately has to be patterned paper...I have been using less and less embellishments, because the patterned papers are so great on their own!

[Mz. Tarne]

Love your pages!
There's no doubt about it, patterned paper is my fave!

[SandyB]

Patterned paper tops my list.

[Kate Anne]

I love your double page! I never seem to pull it off... My fave embellies are chipboard!! Patterned papers come a close second...

[Natalie]

my favorite product is probably foam adhesive-- i just love making things pop off the page. :)

Hi Laura-Long time no talk. Hope all is well for you and the family...my personal favorites are kraft cardstock and chipboard. They both adapt well to almost any layout fancy or frugel. Thanks for the chance!

Ok having a hard time deciding what my favorite item is. I love all the things you listed. Might have to say buttons thugh. Often just the right touch for a page.

Seriously, I love everything that you and Jennifer make so I'd totally use this book if I won it. Thanks for the opportunity!

If I had to choose a favorite item, it would have to be ribbon, no it's buttons, no it's chipboard, no it's brads. Oh heck, who am I kidding? I love them all. No embellishment discrimination in this scrapper's house!

[Cards4ever]

I love eyelets. It does not seem complete with out one.

[wendy]

My favorite to use over and over is ribbon, it can be used so many differnt ways!

[Laura T.]

Loved her first book ... I'm sure this one is as good. My favorite things to use on pages (still) are buttons and brads.

[Vera Wirianta Yates]

There's no question about it, my favorite is patterned paper, even though sometimes I have a hard time making that first cut, simply bc the paper is soo pretty. :)

[Carolyn E]

Oh to choose a favorite! That's hard! But I would have to say paper...it's the base of all layouts and you can do anything to it!

Thanks for the chance to win Jen's book!
