I am going to continue on with my tradition of listing my favorite genius creative products from this year that I added to my already mega huge hoarding stash! I really need a 12 step program...no joke!!! Some may have been around longer, but I just started using them this year. Feel free to tell me yours in a comment in case I haven't tried it and need to.

In no particular order:
1. Tim's Idea-ology Frosted Film

3. All of the Tim Holtz Stamper's Anonymous Blueprint Stamps
4. Ranger's Inkssentials Specialty Stamping Paper
5. Ranger's Distress Markers
6. All of Ranger's Metallic Distress Stains

  4. Great selection of products! Some I know well, others were completely new to me, like the Mudd Puddles and the 10 second studio Verday paints, so thanks for those links.. You guys in the States are so lucky as you can readily purchase all of this stuff and it is way cheaper (boohoo),
    Hope you have a fabulous, creative and happy 2013!!

  23. Hi Anita, I'm not sure how far round I got with my happy new years, so happy new year to you and your family, and a toast to more crafting adventures! Dylusions are certainly high on my list and just about any of the ranger products suits me fine. I've really loved the metallic tape as well x
