Tools of The Trade
Let's use some of those tools we *had* to have but don't use often-could be your eyelet setter, circle cutter, decorative scissors, fastenator, tiny attacher, cropodile or maybe you have an embossing folder that has not yet been used, nestabilities that haven't been opened, or even your paper piercer can be called into use on your project! How about a punch, your bow easy, or sewing machine? Use a tool that is rather neglected!
Lisa used her i-top, corner chomper, cropodile, embossing gun and more on this fab card
Guest DT Kristie created this beautiful serene snowflake card with an adorable snowman eyelet and used a stencil:

The SOS Crew was a little slow getting started with this one, but once we got going we were amazed at how many un-used or seldom used tools we had in our stash! So, I am sure if you take a moment and look thru the examples and see what tools we dusted off, this challenge will not only easy, but hopefully inspire you to use some different things than the ones you normally reach for!

Carla used her paper crimper, a never before used Townscape sizzix die, and a very neglected Tiny Attacher 
Alica used her cropodile and scoreboard for this great set of drawers
Guest DT LouMac fashioned this great Christmas card using her Slice and ITop
and Leslie broke out two unopened Martha Stewart punches and stencil for this elegant card
and Marie made this handsome card with tool embellies!
So, take a look through your toolbox this week and see what you can come up with!
Link up with us below and come back Friday to see our Top 3 from last week!
