It's Monday. Spring Break just ended. It's back to business as usual on all fronts, with some added grumbling from boys who because accostomed to sleeping in and lazy mornings. And maybe a little from their mama, too. ;)
How about putting off reality for a *tidge* longer and talking about a fun special offer from Studio Calico? Subscribe now and you'll get a gift card for your next purchase!

So now that you've started a new subscription and have a gift card burning a hole in your pocket, some of the Studio Calico Creative Team has put together lists of their must have items from the SC shop.
1. Color Studio inks : They're vibrant. The colors are awesome. And they stamp on photos. The only problem really, is what colors to pick up with your GC? My favorites are Clean Slate, Mint Hint and Deja Blue.
2. Tiny Attacher : I honestly can't remember the last time I finished a project without using this tool. I love the mini size of the staples, and the fact that they're strong enough to go through materials like wood veneer.
3. SC grid paper : For some reason, I have a hard time doing layouts on cardstock. I just love the extra little something these basic patterns add to the background of any project! I seem to order this almost every month - I must have a pack on hand at all times! (As an added bonus, subscribers get 10% off this since it's listed under the "kits" as add-on kits.)
4. This to That Dot adhesive : It's the glue behind all of my paper + glue. I'm an indecisive girl, so I love that it's not so sticky that I can't pull something up to rearrange my page!
5. Sequins (or maybe enamel dots) : Or maybe BOTH. I can't seem to finish a project without one or the other. Or both. =)
I'd love to hear your must haves - what do you make sure you have on hand before you start a project?
Your next stop on the hop is Natalie Elphinstone! I love Natalie's layered yet graphic style, and can't wait to see what her must have items are. You'll also want to check out her post about the retreat she just taught at!
If you get lost anywhere during the blog hop, a full list of links is below. Happy hopping!
