Default What are your "Go To" Kits and Tools?

I have a lot of digiscrap stuff, mostly from *cough* other sites *cough* but with this sale, I can't resist stocking up on some good DD loot... but there are *so many* great-looking kits here!

So, what are the ones you go back to time and time again?

Help me narrow this down!

My favorite one lately has been Simple Classics No.1. The colors are so beautiful and I always keep going to it!

I'm not much of a full kit buyer, but there are some products that I use over & over & over.

Katie's Cabana White paper is probably my most used item ever.
Katie's Graphic Pop Cluster brushes I've used many times.
Kellie's Three Sixty Alpha is fab. Every time I use it I get really positive comments about my LO.
Katie's Sea Salt Alpha is great also.
Anna's Rounded Korner Cutter Brush just the best - rounds the corners instantly and unbelivably easily.
Anna's Basic Masking Gradient Brush set is a must for really easy merging together of pictures.

I've used each of these items REPEATEDLY - but I've got a ton more stash that I also love from DD.

I love threads like this because I usually discover a new favorite for myself.

Lately, I've been using Jesse Edwards' Lov e ly Solids for backgrounds:
http://www.designerdigitals.com/digi...oducts_id/4440
Anna's 12 x 12 Scratched Overlays
http://www.designerdigitals.com/digi...oducts_id/5060
Katie's cluster brushes like the Letterbox Cluster
http://www.designerdigitals.com/digi...oducts_id/4901
I use parts of Lynn's Cheri Kit for some nice basics like the stitched circle and the negative frame and the papers are so pretty
http://www.designerdigitals.com/digi...oducts_id/3855

I've been using Ali's journal blocks on just about every layout and I love templates by all the designers here: Katie, Pattie, Kellie, Ali and Anna and Quick Pages by Lynn and tutorials by Cassie. You gotta get some of each of these people's templates because they are wonderful.

I may come back with more suggestions when I get a minute. I'm mostly outdoors today soaking up the sunshine at the lake.
