Playing favorites

Do you have any one scrapbooking item that you use over and over again? Even before joining any CT I had soooo many kits that I only used once (or Gasp -- never!) before I was buying yet another new one. That's one great thing about Digital Scrapbooking. When you need something you can have it instantly. That's also one bad thing about digiscrapping. Its just SO easy to go shopping and forget what you've even bought. I am incredibly guilty about this.

Then came along CTs. Isn't being on a CT like a dream come true. You want me to scrap? You want me to make whatever pages I want to and you want to give me free supplies? Oh, Heaven. Now I'm even more guilty of one-time using. Each week there are so many wonderful new goodies that I just have to play with.There are a few kits that I have used twice, even three times. There are some I keep on my hard drive because I love them and want to use them again when I get the time and the right photos.

And then there are my favorite alphas that I find myself using again and again and again. I've always been a huge alpha fan, just never very good at using them. When I started as a CT at TDC, one of the first items that caught my eye were Dotty Gel Alphas by Mari Koegelenberg. Ohhhh, I LUV these alphas. And she has them in so many colors too. I love the depth and the roundness and the gloss on these cute little alphas.

They are just so happy and fun to use. I recently added the Red Dotty Gels to my growing collection in order to add the finishing touch to this layout. I love how it turned out! Its another page in my "She Loved You Too" series for my daughter. I'm just going to keep making these layouts until I run out of photos.
