Jess's Favorite Scrapbook Tool

When thinking about my favorite tool, I had to do some reflecting on what I use when I scrapbook. And it really comes down to what you would view as a tool. Since I think tools would be classified as something you use to cut or punch or texture your papers and pages, I came to the realization that I don't use a ton of tools. This made figuring out my favorite very easy!

I have a Fiskar's Trimmer. It is the one tool my scrapbook pages would not come together without. It is loaded with dimensions for accurate sizing. It has replaceable blades and an arm that holds my papers in place while I cut. It works great for cropping photos, cardstock and just about anything I decide needs cut.

I cannot think of a page in my last two or three books where I haven't picked up this tool and used it! I once forgot this tool at a crop night. Luckily my best friend (a.k.a. Steff!) saved my butt and we were able to share. But it's a vital tool for me.

Below you can find a link to more info on them. There are several different styles and options. If you're looking to make a purchase, email us or ask someone at your scrapbook store about what would work best for you!

Here is a link to a variety of Fiskar Paper Trimmers.
