I recently bought some paper and one of the collections I bought was Prima's Alice in Wonderland. I always buy Alice paper. I think I have 5 different collections, all by different manufacturers.
I do have photos to scrap with this theme but so far haven't scrapped them yet because I can't decide which collection I like better. I'm afraid I'll use the wrong one. So I'm sitting on a wide selection of Alice choices. I can't stop buying it though.
I also have a problem with deer. Never met a deer I didn't like. I do have photos of forests and deer but the sheer amount of deer images I own is ridiculous. Fortunately I can use it for Christmas too but when I die my nephews are going to be throwing out a lot of deer.
Is there anything that you know you don't need more of but you just can't help yourself?

Off the top of my head--
Fruit. Especially red fruits (cherries, watermelon, strawberries, tomatoes) I will always search a store when buying online in case I missed a hidden fruit sticker or die cut.
Suns, especially smiling ones.
Typewriters. I write so it kind of fits, but I don't scrap about my writing (or type stories using a typewriter) that often... I have scrapped about both my typewriters although I can't remember if a typewriter sticker, stamp, or embellishment even ended up on the finished pages.
Hearts. Not the heart included in almost every embellishment pack and sticker sheet ever made, I mean paper with hearts all over it.
Cassette tapes. Must resist the cassette tapes...

Bees. So many bees, honeybees esp, but big fat bumblebees too. Also beach supplies.

any chunky stripes will automatically make it into my paper stash.
rainbow? monochromatic? bright? pastel? horizontal? diagonal? vertical? ALL OF THEM.
I love them as backgrounds and anchor points on the horizontal axis.

I’m always tempted to get more cardmaking supplies with bees, especially bumblebees, sunflowers, postage stamp details, poinsettias, happy sunshines and cute Doodlebug critters/inanimate objects with faces.

Freaking flamingoes!!
We live near a beach so I have plenty of shore/tropical/beachy photos, but do I really need every layout to include flamingoes!?
Palm trees as well, but those make more sense in my brain😂

Any of it and all of it! Sports themes most of all.
I say you print an extra set of photos and scrap it twice with the papers you can’t decide between. After you start cutting and placing pics you’ll probably figure out pretty quickly which you prefer.

Palm trees as well, but those make more sense in my brain😂 I live in Minnesota, but I love flamingoes! I have a guest bathroom decorated with flamingo towels and a flamingo print. I have used some of my beloved flamingo paper with wake boarding photos of my grandson in his flamingo swim trunks. So, I can't resist flamingo paper and die cuts. I also have a weekness for autumn collections. |

I love the deer too. I have many pictures of them, so that all works out.
Corgis. Can't pass them up.

I wish I only had one animal motif I couldn't resist. Instead, I need ALL of the adorable animals.
Oh Lawn Fawn, your stamps will be my downfall. I just purchased the new wolf stamps for my husband to put in my stocking this year. 😉
I also like to collect map prints and papers with clouds/rain.
ETA: Almost forgot my woodgrain! Love it.

Star paper especially when it’s monochromatic stars or white stars on a monochromatic background.
Chevron paper (yes, I still love it)
Diagonal plaids and stripes. Omg yes please! It’s perfect for everything!

Rainbows - both actual rainbow pps, and rainbows in stripes/plaids whatever. It's a sickness.
Sunshines always sucker me in, as do clouds. But because there are usually only a couple/package, I use them up so i also have dies to make more.
Dogs. Mushrooms. Feathers.
It used to be butterflies...but I'm oversaturated now.

Anything that comes in a rainbow of colours (Doodlebug is a serious weakness). Travel themes....I just love them! Tags and labels are also a problem for me.

I'm also an Alice fan!
In addition, I gravitate towards:
*Leaves
*Cocktails
*Corgis
*Stripes--even or irregular
*Repeating geometric patterns
My prediction for the next random animal motif is capybaras and I'm here for it! Capybaras are friends to all! I will use any forthcoming capybara supplies to scrap the story of the elusive mystery capybara (presumed) seen repeatedly around Vista/Oceanside/Camp Pendleton, CA in 1976 when I was a kid. I even have an old newspaper article I found online. As far as I know, it was never captured
We went grunion hunting with the neighbors on the beach at Camp Pendleton during the capy phenomenon and I was SO SURE that I would see it. I did not. But I digress. 😄

Do I need to say it? GNOMES! I have collected lots of dies and stickers and papers and diecuts. I have the Jaded Blossom gnomes and a bunch of their add on sets--for grad and Christmas and new years and cowboy/western and birthday and... And I *hardly ever actually pull them out. But having them here in my stash makes me happy LOL.
*today I actually played with some of the add on elements to dress up some TE snowmen. So you see? I needed all those gnome dies.

I am all for the capybaras. So cute! I do have zoo photos of two.
Mushrooms are also a problem, as are ferns. I don’t think I’ve ever passed up a paper with either one.
Owls. I have some great photos of owls and again, I haven’t scrapped them because I’m paralyzed by which owl paper to use.
I also buy up any video game or guitar stuff I see but that is because of my nephews.

I also find these irresistible, however it is a problem I encounter in the kitchen, not the craft room. 😉 Om nom nom! |

Christmas and fall and outdoors - but I do tend to use a lot of those
nautical - I use but perhaps not in the quantity that my stash would suggest
woodland animals -hedgehogs, squirrels, foxes, deer, rabbits etc...
ladybirds and bees - love them!
and I'll buy just about anything Lego related - I have SO MANY photos from Legolands, LegoCons, Lego stores, lego building at home...

Sloths. I bought so much when they were the trendy craft animal.
I’m also a sucker for a pretty purple. Not lavender, not maroon but a pretty cool purple.
Alphabet stamps are also a weakness. I have so many that I hardly ever use but I can’t part with them. I like looking at all the fonts and sizes. The bigger the stamp alphabet, the better!

Beach, Summer, Camping, Fall, Halloween, Christmas, fairies/anything that can apply to Renaissance Fair pages (yes, we are total geeks and love RenFests), Harry Potter, Disney, and Star Wars. I have more Christmas and Halloween than I can ever use, but I can’t resist.
As for some of those themes/topics, we obviously love escaping reality.

Such a fun topic! I notice my scrapping collections mirror my real life collections.
Vintage kitchens
Books & reading
Travel
Snowflakes

I also can't resist larger sized premade words. I especially love thickers or chipboard. Not a fan of mini word strip sheets or tiny words.
I just wish words and sayings came in more appealing color choices and variety.....and no more gold.
