Whats the one non-scrapbooking item you couldnt live without for your scrapbooking?

I know this sounds ridiculous but

Answer - the one non=scrapbooking related item I could not live without for scrapbooking is .....my imagination.

Okay, so sometimes I have scrapped without it.

I was going to suggest my computer, but if it crashes, at least my imagination would allow me to create something.

Emery boards for sanding. Why buy expensive scuffy things or unwieldy sheets of sandpaper when a pack of cheap emery boards from the chemist are easier to use and store?

Quilting ruler, mat and rotary cutter.

My non-scrapbooking essential is my husband! he pays the bills, fixes the computer and camera, has good suggestions when a layout gets the better of me and is very supportive. Boy am I a lucky girl!

Totally agree with you there. My b/f does all of the above and helps me when i'm not convinced a LO looks right. He makes very good suggestions. Other non-scrapping thing i couldnt live with out is my mobile phone with camera to send my mum pics when i'm struggling with ideas when b/f is at work. lol

Most of my non scrapbooking things have become scrapbooking things - mmmmm eveything is a scrapbooking thing if looked at the right way -

Ahem.... (clears throat)

IKEA coffee stirrers because...
1. they're free
2. you can sharpen the ends and use them to open up the back of brads
3. one might use them to help spread some types of glue
4. small children that surround me use them to make book marks (not strictly scrapping)
5. Have use them to elevate items to create dimension
6. smoothing stuck items down
7. dipping into paint if i'm using a smudgy technique
... you know, whatever, ....chewing....... poking the dog...... hell, maybe even stir coffee (eurggh) x x x
