The Fall Bash is almost here and I'm really looking forward to spending the day with fellow scrapbookers tomorrow!  I had hoped to post these long before now, but life had other plans.  Better late than never, though, right?  ;-)

I am in love with this magnetic precision mat by Basic Grey.  I use it all the time while scrapbooking and many people have asked me about it.  Unfortunately, it is often hard to find.  Just by chance, I was able to order a few of these and will have them for sale at the Fall Bash and the November Retreat.

It is a 15" x 15" cutting mat that comes with a magnetic ruler and 8 magnets to hold the pieces of your layout in place until you are ready to adhere them down. I personally don't use it for cutting, as I prefer to cut with my trimmer.  However, the perfectionist in me loves, loves, loves that I can line everything up just so and keep everything in place while I design and re-design my layouts.  Since I typically make two page layouts, I actually use 2 of these mats side by side.

Blitzen by Bo Bunny will also be available at the Fall Bash and the November retreat.

I'm not quite ready to think about Christmas yet, but I do really like this bright and cheery holiday line...  Take a look!
