Today is a day set aside to thank those special people who are talented at organizing, filing, creating spreadsheets, managing data and all of those useful things that my right-brained self can’t seem to get a handle on!

Paper Crafts Go-to Gal
P.S. Want more office inspiration? Hop over to my blog and I’ll show you a project or two that I created using some real-life office supplies.
I like to use staples and paper clips. Using office-like fonts is also fun!
Don’t even hve to think about this one. I use staples on both cards and scrapbook pages. They add such a great element to really liven up a project. Thanks for the opportunity to win such a great prize.
I love the typewriter fonts and office looking papers!
Shipping tags! I usually stamp or layer papers on them, but I’ve seen them layered blank and like that look, too.
I LOVE any sentiments done with the original typewriter font. Probably from years of reading AP News type while working at my college newspaper.
I always use the circle fastener tab to secure the hole that I punched on the tag.
My favorite office supply is the manila shipping labels, all differant sizes, big giant paperclips for bookmarks, and bulldog clips, add a magnet and it’s great for the fridge for list. Oh yea, you can add magnets to that list, lol!
Date stamp… I like to stamp the dates on my projescts.
OHHHH! I LOVE LOVE LOVE everything from an office supply store! I used to just walk around each aisle and the entire store for hours! LOVE it!
I use transparencies the most! LOVE embossing butterflies and cutting them out! Always a stunning look:)
Shipping tags, paper clips, and typewriter fonts show up most often on my layouts and cards.
I love to use ledger paper. Makes for nice lines to write.
Sharpies, hands down. : )
Paper clips. I use a ton of them. And staples, occasionally ledger paper, highlighters, bull dog clips, post it notes… the list goes on. I love going to Office Max and seeing what I might find to use.
I just bought the circle tags with the metal trim at the local office supply store the other day.
I like to use the shipping tags and the colored paper clips. loved the card made with the paper clips…cute idea!!
My fab fav thing that I use on my projects from the office supply store is binder clips. You can alcohol ink them, too.
I would have to say that I use staples the most in the office supply topic. Staples are always around and easy to grab to add a ribbon or fun embellie to one of my cards. I am a BIG fan of MFT and would be SO happy to win a gift certificate to their store.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Let’s see, the thing I use most from office supplies is glue/tape/adhesives. I am one of these people who hate to see the ends/edges of paper curl up. So, I use adhesive tape in the center and glue sticks on the outside edges, then burnish everything down (except when using foam stickers). Thanks for the opportunity to win.
O how I love looking @ office supplies!!! I use alot of staples on my layouts…different colors of them!!! I also LOVE colored paper clips!! And I recently received an old typewriter from my Uncle. Love that as well!!! Finding ribbon for it is difficult though. Thank you for a chance to win!
Love the look of office supplies. I love using “file folder” type items as hidden journaling!
I have a love of shaped paper clips!
I love browsing the office supply stores. I like to use tags, ledger paper and typewriter fonts.
I love using transparencies to make windows, fish bowls, even stamping on them to make layered embellishments! There is nothing better than wondering through the office supply isles to scope out what is new..
my favorite is staples and tape!
I love water cooler talks with giveaways..lol
I love using staples, paper clips and typewriter images/fonts.
I would have to say paperclips & binder clips. I use them to hold gift cards in my paper cupcake giftcard holders and they work perfectly!
I have an envelope addiction! I love all sorts of envelopes – its so fun to receive mail in a unique envie! Let’s the recipient know that it’s definitely not a BILL!
Love that stamp set! Staples are what I use a whole lot of – they work especially great for masculine/ cool cards. Second up are paper clips

I really love my stamp typewriter images, Steadtler triplus fineliner pens to write on the inside of cards and on the envelopes in matching colors to the card of course, adhesive of all kinds, and the basics that I couldn’t live without: ruler, pencil, eraser, and scissors.
I love the look of paperclips and lined/graph paper on papercrafted projects =)
Love to use staples. I color my own using alcohol inks!
I love using staples and graph paper
My favorite office product are little composition notebooks I decorate the outside of them and give them as little gifts. They are so great to keep in your purse and right down any notes you may have. I’ve always carried them but now I can personalize them to fit my mood or for the person I’m making them for.
Hi Betsy, I love Your Blog and your Creative side.
I love little clips, but I seem to be hoarding them!! My favorite office product to use in paper crafting would be Post It Notes, I’ve made tons of the little folder holders as gifts for family and friends and just cater them to the holidays or seasons. =D
I go to Office Max and get small loose leaf notebooks that my clear stamp hard pages fit into. It is not meant for them but it fits perfectly and my stamps stay in the book and do not take up lots of space. Thats my great use of office supplies. Thanks.
I like to use staples, little ones are cute on my card!!
I use staples and hole punches and pieces of tape.
i like to use binder clips, usually the mini and small sizes. Also, use lots of staples and paperclips.
I love to use paperclips, they come in so many colors and shapes!
