The companies that produce scrap booking supplies and materials know their customers are always looking for fresh ideas. New products are being added all the time and to stay competitive, companies change their product lines to keep them fresh and enticing. In fact there are so many new products, it can be quite difficult to keep track of them all. Following are just a few of the best new products that the world of scrap booking has to offer:

Machines and Tools:

Slice is a cordless, portable digital cutting tool developed and marketed by Making Memories. The machine weighs around 2 lbs.

It has a six-inch reach, which greatly expands your embellishment options. Now adding eyelets in the very middle of a 12 x 12 inch page is literally a snap.

Either system organizes your supplies inside sturdy protective see-through envelopes that hang and spin from the top of the organizer.
