Katie's Classic Cardstock Series
Katie's Photoclusters Frames
Anna's Stitching
Pattie's (Staples, fastners, brads) ~ Couldn't pick one if a gun was pointed at my head
Pattie's DIY sticker Alphas

Have fun shopping... there are so many great things. I could more easily do a top 1000 than a top 5!!!

That is such a hard question!! And my favorites change over time too.

Jen got some of my favs, so I get to choose 5 more!
I am a real fan of Lynn's Worn strips and Katie's Little alpha bits. Pattie's Epoxy extravaganza are really versatile and at the moment I am really into patterned papers and I think a LOT of my last few pages used something from one of Jesse's paper packs! I keep being drawn to Mindy's cute little sticker collections too.

Seeing as I have listed groups of things rather than 5 individual ones you can call me a big cheat ifyou like!!

* Stitched by Anna (Aspnes) - at least one of the whites is a must have, if you ask me.
* Classic Cardstock by Katie Pertiet - these are fantastic.
* Worn Edges by Lynn Grieveson - amazing.
* Pattie's Alphas - especially the acrylics.
* Cassie's tutorials - so much information!

I would also like to add word art by Ali Edwards, Anna's ArtPlay Palettes, and just about every template in the store, as they are a great jump-start for pages. The last one I used was this, by Anna. I guess I'm the biggest cheater of us all, posting more than five, and groups instead of products. But not everything fits everyone... Better to have something to choose from, right?

I'd have to go with

Katie's Naturally krafty papers, especially no7
Pattie's DIY acrylic alpha no1
Anna's artplay palettes, especially no4
Katie's winged collection no3 kit
and Lynn's worn edges, like so many others have said, they're fantastic.

Ooooh, just went over to look at Mindy's stickers, and fell in love with the Little Safari Icons. They are SO cute!

I love threads like this in that they really help us as designers get a good handle on what type of product you all find useful. Thanks for the input!

it won't be a surprise to anyone, i think. when i say i can't live without Anna's Fotoblendz masks (count that for at least three on the list....) if i have those, i think i can get on with pretty much anything. and i am SOOOO thankful that Katie is doing her fab cardstock series and Michelle Martin is creating such amazing cardstock.

Some of my favorites...
Katie's Little Bits Alpha
Anna's Year 2010 brushes (or whatever year is current!)
Katie's Scatterings
Katie's Ledger Grid brushes
Anna's Loops & Scribbles brushes

That doesn't even touch the papers or kits or templates, but those are the things I find myself using again and again.

um....yep, pretty much! I love Katies cluster frames too (the ones that are psd's that can be rearranged or used separately are so versatile)

My most used paper is the plain kraft in Krafty Summer Boys; I got it in a tutorial or freebie or somewhere and use it all the time.

Others:

Pattie's Staple Its
Ali's Everyday Twill (I would use this more if I had more with different words--but I really love it and use it a lot as it is)
Katie's Chipboard Alpha: Black
Katie's Little Bits alphas
Katie's Loosely Labelled Dates

Oh my goodness, I just couldn't pick 5 singular items!! Maybe 5 groups of items...

Lynn's Worn Page Edges

Anna's Stitching

Mindy's kits

Ali's Hand Drawn Words

And of course I use TONS of Katie's stuff. Right now I'm all about her Classic Cardstock, Twisted Stitches, and Flossy Stitches.

I'm such a bad cheater! But I'm still leaving so much out!
