What’s your most used item when you scrapbook? Besides adhesive and basic card stock, I didn’t think I had one. It’s funny how you just do things and don’t realize you’re doing them until you notice your supplies diminishing one by one.  You start hoarding them, yet are still forced to use them anyways because a layout or a project isn’t complete without it! Suddenly, it’s 11pm and you’re in the middle of a creative rush, you start stressing out because you can’t get your projects done because you just realized that you are out of an item that apparently you can’t live without! That happens to you to, right? …. right?!

After last weekends stress-fest I realized that basic white Photo Corners are that item for me. I really had no idea how much I used them until they were gone! I use them on everything from cards to layouts and albums. I even have some in my hybrid albums, calendars and planners. Of course, not everything in my scrapbooks is white. But I have my trusty Dual Brush Pens to fix that! EVERY color patched perfectly and smoothly. I love it! Lately I’ve been adding another dimension to my corners, spraying a little glimmer mist on my scratch plastic and then using a paintbrush to smooth it over my color.  Dual Brush Pens, white photo corners and glimmer mist… oh the happiness. Yes, I went out and stocked up on photo corners first thing in the morning and now I’m ready to roll.
