Score Board
I couldn't construct any book without it. This Martha Stewart scoreboard has every mark I'll ever need to make an incredible scrapbook.
ATG Gun
It's been a journey to make great friends with this tool. I have found it to be the most quality & quickest way to adhere mats.
Scissors
I stay out of my own way with these pleasant-to-hold, strong and precise shears, I've never looked back.
EK Tools Bone Folder
They discontinued Martha Stewart's, so I've personally tested the EK Tools brand and it's great! Smooth plastic with scoring and crisp creasing ability. It also has a traditional teflon-style, flat edge side.
Scoring Tool
This is another best buddy, the 1/16" side fits perfectly into the Martha Stewart Scoreboard, which I love! They come in a variety of sizes and colors!
Materials
Score Tape ( 3/8" )
One of the strongest self-applied dry glues I've discovered, it builds books that last.
ATG Refills
I take Scotch name brand seriously, as I have tested others and have been greatly disappointed. Our special books are only as strong as our adhesive. I believe quality isn't something to tinker with.
Art Glitter Glue
Unmatched in its precision, strength & quick-to-dry clear application, it's my absolute favorite liquid glue.
Blades
With an easy on and off, these blades make my album creating journey so effective. I can save one for chipboard and the others for paper.
Chipboard
This medium weight chipboard adds the perfect thickness for a multitude of project sizes. Small medium or large, is perfectly weighted to construct a balanced album.
8 1/2" x 11" Cardstock
This cardstock is smooth textured and solid-core. Perfect for all base pockets, flaps and interactions. Scores beautifully and folds wonderfully.
12" x 12" Cardstock
This cardstock is smooth textured and solid-core. Perfect for all large base pages, pockets and for wrapping our chipboard covers.
White Cardstock
This cardstock is perfect for all picture mats! It's 8 1/2" x 11" and 65lbs. I love how smooth and dense it feels, without that chalky or fuzzy nature that other papers can have. It's my new online favorite!
Acetate • Medium
This is a great quality 12" x 12" medium weight acetate. Clear, clean and blotch-less for all basic frames, pouches or pockets.
Acetate • Heavy
Durable consistent clear & clean quality. 0.38mm thickness is especially great for stand-alone boxes that need extra sturdiness. Could also be used for simple frames. Note : Can be tough to cut through ;)

Acetate • Medium • Roll
If you are crazy for acetate and know that you'll be using a lot, this is perfect for any simple frame or pouch, it lays flat once applied and has great clean & clear quality.
Optional

This is by far the most quality chalk marker I have found! It's nice and bright and shows up on dark papers with perfect thickness :)
Journaling Pen
This is my favorite brand for journal lines and lettering, so much fun!
Echo Park Clear Stamp
So far my go to camera stamp. I found it originally at Hobby Lobby on sale. It comes as a whole pack from the wedding bliss collection, but I only use the camera :)

Ink Pad
This ink pad was given to me by my friend who I had the honor to meet in person, Janette! I really love it, bold, dries fast, and somewhat easy clean up :)

I love this long lasting, quality corner punch and it adds the perfect amount of customization.
SM + LG Angles
Quality just like the rest, this punch creates a traditional tag angle with two different size options which I love.
1/2" + 1/4" Round
This is my favorite go to. It can punch through multiple layers like the rest. A simple corner rounding can transform the whole appearance of an album.

I adore this tool! Aside from it's ability to customize envelopes, the notch punch can add a super sleek look to any album. It can also be used to do a quick corner rounding ;)

I'm in love with this circle punch! I use the circles as bases for my brads to create twist twine closures!
