I don't have a favorite. It depends on what look I want. I have Copics, watercolor pencils, Prismas and some odds and ends I have picked up at garage sales. I just like to color!

Greetings from Flushing, Michigan. Just got home from dinner with 3 grandkids tossing mac cheese about. I need a vacation! I am interested in that sparkly paper. Some papers like that have a funky smell. I hope these dont.

I would just love to have a cup of coffee! It always smells so good when hub has it but I had to give it up.

Only on some cards do I use plain dies. I love that the dies come matched to the stamp images now. Messed up the thumb joint in my right hand last summer cutting down some small trees and jeez, fussy cutting stuff now is a pain!

I have the really really old Xyron. I hate it because it's so clunky. And old. This one is cute and looks kid friendly, too.

Halloween cards-if I could send them out for Christmas and Easter, I would.

I haven't really made interactive cards much unless you count the ones that just plane open and close!

I love making scenes for dioramas with my grand son. I just got a barn animal set of stamps to do that. This would make it so easy to make the images last longer with chipboard or similar.

I love sending snarky cards to my friends. The funniest was a House Mouse getting drunk in a bathtub that I used for a birthday card. I do have to be careful who I send them to, however. People get old and crabby these days!

Amy, have you thought about saving your Periscope videos to https://katch.me/ ? I was just watching some other Periscope videos there since I can't watch on my phone with limited data plan. I have to share data with hubby and many places don't have free wifi here. Maybe check it out?

Sometimes-I am trying to find a way to make Halloween style cards for all the holidays. Nothing mushy here!

I love coffee BUT on doctors orders, can no longer drink it. I drink lots of tea. And water. No soda. But when hub makes some or orders in a diner, I stick my face in his cup and breathe in!

My goals-I just changed gyms so now it's only two miles instead of 9 which was better than the 17 before that one. I have no excuse now. I can walk up the highway to it. I need to hire someone to put new cabinets in my kitchen. I don't like strange people in my house, so this is gonna be hard. I need to learn how to drive a tractor, too. Otherwise, I am mowing with a hand pusher mower. Yikes! But mostly, I have to get hub healthy. He has surgery in two weeks and hopefully won't need chemo, but if he does, we-he and I-can handle it. Because I don't want to mow a lawn of a house I am in by myself. Wish us luck.

*****Do you have a name for the earth globe die on that one card? I tried to search on MFT, but nothing pops up. I must have it! ******* AMY!! Have a better than ever 2016. We are going thru a trial by fire in our family this late 2015, so I know the emotions and insanity that is showing itself. Love and positive thoughts to your beautiful family. I always come away with a smile when I see you all on the blog.

Just had a birthday party for grand daughter. We made spider webs that spanned an entire wall. Scary but cool. love using these papers on anything.

On this very drab sad ugly day of cold and rain in Michigan, seeing all the color and explosions of creativity on here was a blessing. Thank you. Now it's nap time.

I guess I don't need the sun to come out-paper sunshine counts!

I have a wish list a whole page long for TE. One of the best, in case anyone is on the fence. Just wonderful company.

Like I need another stamp or die with pine trees....yes, I do!

Those Kimmie stamps are new to me. I guess I go visit the makers.

The double tri fold card is the coolest card yet!

I want to run a marathon. Have done all the other distances under that.

Hoping to get some common sense back into my life after not having kids at home for almost 23 years, now I need to finally get some house stuff done and possible sell this home of almost 40 years.

so very nice
