I was asked what freebies would be the best and I think that depends on each user’s preference. I use both the pawn magnets and the craft catchers. If you want to have matching colors for the pawn magnets, then I’d recommend ordering those in the color you want.

The Craft Catcher’s are new and so useful! I store everything from tools, Silhouette blades, earring hardware, project pieces, and more in mine.

I shared a video on Instagram and Facebook when the new magnetic ink pad holders and the craft catcher’s were released. Check that out here on Instagram or on Facebook.

Here is a look how I was using them while creating in October.

I have now added several new tools from Glassboard Studio to my craft room this year. It took me a bit to talk myself into investing in it, but I’m so glad I did.

Check out this video HERE where I’m using the Glassboard mat as a palette while painting my Halloween 3-D busted canvas elements. Such easy cleanup.

I love that I can use this as a palette with many different medias. I made my mom a custom zipper bag and drew a design on it using Sharpie Creative Markers. I even used it to practice my initials that I sign because I was having a “moment” and had forgotten exactly how I’ve been signing things.

I pulled out some of the creations I’ve been working on this year since taking a class with artist Tracy Weinzapfel for inspiration and reference as I drew on the black zipper bag. Since it was a black bag, I did need to use several layers of the markers to get the colors I wanted. If a marker picked up color from another section, I could easily scribble it a bit to get it back to it’s original color. I left the scribbles on there for a couple weeks as I was out of my studio and it still cleaned up easily when I got back to it.

And then Glassboard Studio released a new Scrapbook Magnetic Glassboard Craft Mat! This one fits 2 – 12″ x 12″ Scrapbook layouts completely on top of it. Something you may not know is that my crafting journey started with scrapbooking. One craft leads to another and here we are. Paper crafting is one of my favorite and when I was asked if I’d be interested in this size mat, I knew it was meant to live in my studio.

Here is a look at the specs of the Scrapbook Craft Mat.

After I purchased my first Magnetic Glassboard mat, Pinterest showed me a photo of a gorgeous pattern called Oceanside, which was no longer available. I told myself if it ever became available again, that I would jump on ordering it simply because it makes me happy to look at. And wouldn’t you know, after they released the new Scrapbook Craft Mat, they also announced several special edition mats were coming back for a limited time.
I guess, be careful what you tell yourself!

The ocean is calling and if I can’t go to it, why not bring it to me. I may have to play some ocean sounds and just stare at it and pretend I’m really there. My shipping information says it will arrive later today after this is published, but watch the Silhouette Secrets+ social channels and I’ll share an unboxing on there (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram).

Find the special limited edition selection under Products > Special Edition Glass Craft Mats for a limited time.

I know, I know… how many magnetic Glassboard mats does one person need? I started the year with 0 and now own 3. But, I do have several work spaces in my craft studio, so I know they will be used.

Want to see more on how I’m using this in my studio & some project inspiration too? Check out this blog post HERE and see how I’ve put it to use.

I know these new tools may not be for everyone and it did take me time to talk myself into getting one. I just kept seeing their awesome patterns and something tugged at me that it was right for my craft space. Timing is everything. It may not be the right time for you, but maybe you picked up some inspiration by the projects I shared above.

Thanks so much for reading!
