I know that the blogosphere has been buzzing about Angela Liguori for a while, but I’ve been brainstorming about holiday gift wrapping and just had to give a mention to her fabulous imported Italian cotton ribbon. What a gorgeous touch this would add to any gift, though I know I’d be tempted to horde it!

Angela also offers limited edition, handmade books featuring wonderful illustrations that would be perfect for any book, graphic design, or paper collection. See everything that Angela has to offer at her Etsy shop.

I’m quite intrigued by this nifty tag curling tool from Making Memories.

Making Memories has a visual step-by-step so you can see how the tool works, and you can find it at a variety of online scrapbooking stores. What will they think of next?
