Lynda's Must Have Supplies - Week 3 of 4

You know I love my Cricut machine and cartridges, stamps, cardstock and ink pads that match when I create, based on my week 1 and week 2 posts if you've been following them!  Well, today's post - brings you 2 more products are my absolute must haves that go with those other supplies, both punches and paper!!!  When you create with punches and paper, with your other supplies, you create one of a kind items for your scrapbooking, stamping, and paper crafting!  
Punches come in just about any size and shape you want...along with manufacturer! That's why punches can be so addicting!   Use border punches with your stamps to create wonderful cards, or to create matts for photos!  When paired together with die cuts and stamps, you can make those simple embellishments, end up to be perfect each and every time!  From basic shapes such as hearts, circles and stars - to leaves, flowers and corner punches - they are all great to have!  Hearts can go great for Valentines day or "love" projects - and cut in half for leaves!!!  Flower punches, when paired with other flower punches, create darling one of a kind flowers!      
Paper...okay but what can I say about paper!!!  Packs of coordinated paper, single sheets, two sided sheets, patterns, solids, 8.5 x 11, 12 x 12...I love it all!  There is nothing better than finding the perfect colors of papers to match each other, and finishing up a project or two that looks perfect!  I think for me, I love pictures that have nothing to do with any type of traditional theme - yet you find the perfect title you can create, to go with the perfect paper you have selected, and the perfect paper to create the perfect embellishments for that one photo!  Paper is the key to it all!  
I hope you have enjoyed this series of "must have" supplies!  It might just go with challenges, ideas and techniques for next year!  Next year is all about planning and getting things done BEFORE they need to be done, I hope you join me!
