Cherry Tart
I have not been scrapping for about six years now. I would really appreciate some updated news. Can anyone tell me about your favorite new and wonderful tool, template and or any thing just wonderful about scrapbooking! Please PM me so I don't miss any thing! Thanks!

I just purchased the new We are Memories die cutting machine. Am looking forward to playing with it.
I'd say try some of Tim Holtz styles in your layouts. Scrapbooking is so different now and much more exciting.

I've gone digital, so I'm not a lot of help with current paper trends. I'd say just watch the galleries, scraplift what catches your eye, and simply scrap! You will re-develop your own style.

BIG BOLD pre-made Titles are in!!! Heidi Swapp and American Crafts and their now subsidiary companies are putting them out. Yes, American Crafts is gobbling up companies!

Thanks Killarney_Rose, lots of info for me! I do have the original cricut and the old sizzix. Is the cricut still in the loop? I know theres a larger one out now, is there a machine more popular than the cricut? Thanks to all you kind ladies for all your information and tips.

Welcome to acot and welcome back to scrapping!
My favorite tool is the silhouette cameo! Almost any computer-based cutter out there now is awesome. I recently sold one for the Cameo b/c of the less expensive price and it being MAC compatible.
