What kind of scrapbooking stuff did you get as gifts for the holidays?

[Grumpy's Gal]

Tell us here!! Ok, I'll go first -- not terribly exciting but VERY much appreciated....I received refills for my xyron and my other tape runner, some 12x12 paper, some tweezers for gluing small objects, and some very, very nice Barnes and Noble letter boxes to keep things in that will coordinate with some of my other storage pieces. I also got a new sizzix die cut that is "packages" with bows.

I hope you all had a great holiday!

I got $30 GC for Michaels (it's supposed to be used for the new MM paper trimmer, if they ever start stocking them), $50 GC from the LSS (it's getting spent tomorrow, and I have a 20% off your entire purchase birthday coupon too!), a box of ribbon from Costco, some Disney Jolee's. I also got a bunch of CM stuff from my MIL (corner rounder, pens, tape runner, and the 7 x 7 Disney kit).

I also got a big jar of pistachios, and when the pistachios are gone, the jar will be perfect for holding ribbon.

[nikkistevej]

I got a 12 x 12 7 drawer plastic holder, also a ribbon holder. The ribbon holder was from Target and I might go get another one, it's for Christmas ribbon, but it will hold alot more scrapbooking ribbon on the spool. I really like it.

I received a $15 GC to Rag Shop from a friend because I often stop there during lunch break for paper or stickers. I haven't decided what I will buy with it.

My brother gave me a Sizzix machine, which has left me with a need to buy Sizzix dies because I have the Sidekick and asked for a Sizzlits alphabet. I've been eyeing some of the clearance deals at sizzix.com, but I'm holding out for Tuesday Teasers before checking out.

[pfishgirl]

I got a binder type supplier holder with plastic case inside for smaller supplies. 3 new scissors with fancy edges. a paper crimper type tool, you put the paper in and turn the handle and it crimps a heart design into the paper..

:thumbsup2

iNTeNSeBLue98 - Before you buy anything at the Sizzix site, make sure you check out CreativeXpress! They're Sizzix stuff has been permanently reduced in price. It's hard to find cheaper prices...even on Black Friday with the Turkey Bucks at Mikes or Tuesday Teasers at Sizzix! And then CX has an extra 20% off right now on most Sizzix stuff as well. I did have to pay PA sales tax though.

Now, for Christmas....

I got several Sizzix dies: button Sizzlits, star border, jungle leaves & the zig zag frame*
I also got several Coluzzle templates: nested heart, Christmas #2 shadow set & Winter shadow set
* I had to return the zig zag frame as I already had it. Instead of another Sizzix die I exchanged it for the Fiskars Leaf border punch.

My DD15 still has the migraine (since Sept) so she never got out to shop. She gave me a voucher for a shopping trip to the craft store of my choice. The best part of that is her willingness to actually go inside with me! (Usually she wants to wait in the car. ;))

DH got me a digital frame so I can see my favorite photos here at my desk and a Wacom graphics tablet so I can edit my photos! That's a huge deal for me! I'm left-handed but use the mouse with my right hand...so I lack the control to do the fine editing with the mouse, but I can't use the mouse with my left hand either! :lmao:

Oh - and I almost forgot that I participated in a Secret Santa swap on another board and got some great scrapping stuff including stickers, spiral clips, and a bunch of CM stuff. Fortunately I got a new tape runner & refill in that because I ran out of adhesive & then broke my old tape runner in the middle of a gift project! ;)

Hey, Thanks for the tip piratesmate! I'm so antsy to purchase, but I'll take a look over there.

I also spent gift $$ on a Xyron 150 (X) and a Xyron 250 adhesive machine yesterday. I just used the X for the first time to adhere small pieces of cardstock and ribbon to Rolodex cards...so much easier than the glue stick or photo squares!

[LBAK]

From my Dh, I got a new photo printer that will print up to 8.5x11 photos! I asked him for one and he said no way, too expensive. So, he totally surprised me with it. :)

My mom gave me some Disney stickers, a huge set of brads and some border paper.

My inlaws give everyone $100 in their stockings and this year mine is going towards some CTMH stuff. The eyelet/brad organizer with the jars and some other things. I haven't made up my mind on the other stuff yet. :teeth:

[Wishes2you]

I got Michael's gift cards, Disney Stickers and Papers. DD got a Disney scrapbook, Papers & stickers. An A.C.Moore gift certificate and best of all her grandmother bought her a Xyron personal cutting system. We haven't been able to use it because one of the pieces are missing. It is the adhesive pad which we need. Store where it was purchased was sold out of replacements as well as machines. CAlled manufacturer and they are shipping out them to us. With holidays they haven't got here yet. The machine is just sitting there taunting us.

[loopner67]

Wow, lots of scrapping goodies! Hooray for everyone! :cool1:

I did very well this year as far as scrapping stuff!

I got a whole bunch of paper. Letter stickers. Tombo tape runners. 6 rolls of Christmas ribbon & twill. A large Scrapping cube (for organization). New foam letter and flower stamp sets. Brads. Prima Flowers. AND tons of Disney Stickers that Dh let my boys pick out for me from AC Moore.

I got scrapping stuff from my DH, my boys, my MIL and my sister. Score!

MIL also gave me $50 to use on supplies at my scrapping weekend that is coming up soon (Jan 18th). Woo hoo!

[MissBubbles]

I got a cropper hopper, 8 x 8 dog album (which is so perfect with the Pet Swap!) and tons of embellishments.

I just need more time to get things done! LOL

[MazdaUK]

I got cash from my mum, sister and Aunt which is probably going to be handed over to CM if I can get it past the Next sale without it escaping - clothes or scrapping :confused3 Tough choices!

[123SA]

I got lots of good things!!!

From husband, Bazzill 12x12 paper, 20 sheets of each of the primary colors and white. My entire wish list from Mousememories.com!! Papers from Designs by Reminisce(including their new Magic collection --check it out if you aven't already). Also, he took the kids to the local scrapbook store and DD6 picked out a glass mat (???) for cutting -- not sure what to do with this yet and DS4 picked out a Christmas tree punch and a snowflake punch. Everytime I go there he tries to get me to buy one. I am sorry that I missed his excitement at finally being able to get one! They also picked out stickers for me too. My sister got me a 12" laser paper cutter and my dad gave me $200 for shopping. Hubby also got me a new lens for my camera -- I think this is the most gifts I have ever gotten in my life!!!

[wendydarling826]

[iNTeNSeBLue98]

I spent the money I got for Christmas on more supplies.

I ordered Sizzlits Bounce alpha, Sizzlits snow set and a new pair of Sidekick cutting pads from CreativeXpress. These were delivered yesterday and I'm anxious to try them.

I also ordered Simple Impressions snowflake, sleigh and reindeer embossing folders, Sizzix banner die, Sizzlits zoo set and sea life set from Sizzix.com. They are expected to be delivered Tuesday. I can get back to my Disney/Sea World album when they get here.

I also spent a gc from the mall at AC Moore where I picked up a Xyron 250 refill and Sizzix ticket die. Oh, and I went back to Michaels with a 50% off coupon to get the Cuttlebug Olivia alpha.

PAJAMAS! I'm not kidding. The important thing is that you do wear them -- make sure she sees you wear them. Put your pj's on before she goes to bed and put on the earrings. Believe me.......BEEN THERE - DONE THAT!
