Do You Have These New Scrapbooking Tools? - Part 1

By Janette Miller


Let me start off with a little disclaimer - I have only found out about these tools recently, so they may have been on the marketplace for a little while. The flip side is that they might not have been getting much exposure and I believe the majority of these tools deserve more attention than they've been receiving, so with out further delay, heres some of the most recent scrapping tools:

Bic Mark-it

Bic are now doing more for crafters and scrapbookers. They have released a selection of permanent markets called 'Mark-its'. What makes these markers so special is they now use an acid-free solution to mark the paper, this means that your paper doesn't become damp, soft or fragile.

They come in a large spread of colors - 36 in all! So you won't have a hard time finding a color to match your design. Each marker has a sharpened tip on it also , meaning they are excellent for any precision work too!

These are very easy for creating you own custom doodles and hand drawn designs, good for some of your owncheap scrapbooking supplies.

They've also made it simple to store and carry as each pack comes with a well designed carry case. Actually, there is no reason for not getting these!

Cri-Kits

What are Cri-Kits? Cri-Kits are a specifically designed gel pen which have a magnetic stub on the non-writing end. This is intended to connect into a magnetic holder.

The holder is a thicker, metal case with an inbuilt grip and a window incase you need to see what color you now have loaded in the holder.

The main advantage of this holder is that it is much thicker than the regular gel pens and if you have ever worked with gel pens for at least 10 minutes - you'll understand these will stop your hand cramping up. The magnetic tips actually make it so easy to switch pens as well.

In the subsequent article, we'll be continuing to take a look at some of the new scrapbook tools that have come out that might make your life way easier!
