Scraplooking Tools

摘要

She who owns the most tools wins, claims the scrapper's cliche. Those working with paper want the best tool to do the job right, to do it efficiently and to make their work easier. "I believe time is a resource that mothers who work in or outside of the home can't afford to waste," states Cony Larsen, art director at DayCo Ltd. Like most scrappers, Larsen admits, "I'm an advocate for simple projects that fulfill my desire to be creative, but that won't consume my valuable time ... With this in mind, we create products that will help scrappers cut time and not corners, and still preserve the quality of their projects." Some tools are purchased primarily for use at home; others are perfect for in-store use, either at an hourly rate or at no cost when materials are purchased. For instance, Sandi Genovese, craft personality who makes frequent television guest appearances and hosts her own program, "DIY Scrapbooking", shows consumers the Ellison Machine they can use in the stores and the Sizzix die-cutting equipment for home use. Each has its place, and each can make money for the retailer.
