- Basic Tool Kit: (available at Michael's or Amazon)
- Mixed Media Journal: I prefer spiral-bound Canson mixed media journals. They will lay flat and accomodate the mixed media you'll be adding as well as the thick pages you'll end up with. Get one HERE.
- 3-5 Magazines (my favorites are Where Women Create, Breathe and National Geographic; mix it up; borrow from friends, check out the thrift store)
- Scissors
- Ruler (to lay next to an image or words and easily cut without ripping into image/word)
