Aqua, and teal shades. Anything green-blue, whatever you want to name it. And since it's so prevalent in scrapbooking, yes, I use it a great deal!!! Same for me!

I generally do 1-3 photos on a single-page layout, but will do more if the event or story calls for it.

Pre-pandemic I do it all - scrap at home, scrap once a month at a friend’s house (now we zoom), attend a quarterly day-long crop, go to a yearly multi-day retreat, and go to convention (and crop there) 1-2 times a year. I’m really looking forward to in-person events some day.

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned is that there is no commitment - you can cancel any time, no penalty. The perks of subbing is you’re guaranteed a kit, you get 20% off several of the new releases each month, you get a free printable set and free cut file set each month, you can bundle on release day for no extra shipping, and it’s all very easy and no drama. Yes, it may get repetitive after a while, but I think that happens with every kit club or even paper manufacturer. I like the consistency in color and style. The addons are great, and you can get as many or as few as you want each month. Their stamps and dies are great addon purchases too. She also throws in a free 3x4 month card with each purchase. It’s a little thing, but it’s a nice touch.

Everyday Seals by Geralyn is genius. Simple but super versatile sets are my jam! Darn you for sharing that! I was all set to ignore this release, but Geralyn’s designs are my weakness! This is so good!

Like others, I get mainstream supplies from Scrapbook Generation (love their Bank-It option, so I can pick up a few things when I see it and build until I meet the free shipping threshold), ACOT (love the preorder option to ensure I get everything I want in a collection, plus the 20% off helps offset shipping costs), and Scrapbook . com (love their exclusives - foam adhesive, page protectors, albums).
For boutique items, I shop Feed Your Craft, In A Creative Bubble (printables), Everyday Explorers Co, and Ali Edwards.

I am not a craft hoarder. I am the Curator of an extensive private craft supply collection. Exactly.

The alpha in number two and its coordinating number stamp set are called Maggie and Charlotte. I think the alpha is Maggie and the number is Charlotte but I could have them mixed up. (ETA: just checked, I had it correct, the alpha is Maggie.) Yep - I have this one too.

I am making notes of the paper and apps that everyone uses with this printer. I've decided to get a photo printer and finally narrowed down the choices to this one after reading multiple threads here and various other reviews. Now I am just waiting for it to go on sale a bit as I've read that it often does - of course since I've been watching it's been full price or very close to full price everywhere. Surprised it wasn’t marked down on Prime Day.

I mainly scrap 12x12, both layouts and divided page protectors. But for contained themes with their own albums, like DD and vacations, I scrap 6x8. I’ve been planning to do some 6x8 story albums, using some of AE’s story kits, but that’s on the to-do list. I really like the size and think it will be a fun change.

I miss the variety before AC has made everything pink and floral. I miss the smaller, unique brands. I miss the general patterns/collections instead of weird random stuff or overly themed. I too miss Archivers and having LSSs everywhere. I miss teaching at the LSS, the crops, and the make-n-takes. I’m fortunate to still have crops to attend throughout the year (during non-pandemic times) and look forward to it being safe to have again.

I have spent a little bit of time a few days last week and this week scrapping! I have been looking EVERYWHERE for my Hickory Smoke Distress ink, I use it to ink the edges on my projects. I put in another round of looking today with no luck. I finished one page, and started another. I was grabbing an ink pad out of my new ink pad organizer, and thought-what's this on the top of the ink organizer? Oh yeah, my two most used ink pads for inking edges, including Hickory Smoke. I put them up there for easy access, so they wouldn't get lost on my desk. 😆😆😆 Joke's on me, that's what I get for organizing! I'm happy to have my ink pad "back" though. 🤗 Ha! It never fails for me - when I organize I can never find what I know “used to be right there on my desk in that pile”!! Glad you found it!

Thanks for sharing! It looks like they may have been selling off some of the machines they have in the crops too? I see a minc in your first photo.

I’m with you on the epoxy - it ALWAYS yellows. I’m always tempted by Doodlebug’s cite epoxy, but have to remind myself that no one wants a yellow snowman!

Thanks for your replies. I neither gravitate toward vintage or farm-inspired collections nor need templates or holiday-themed products. I do, however, like the plaids, One Cool Ghoul (Spooky Nights) & on the reverse of 3x4 Elements (Homegrown), as well as the less-themed tags featured on the back of my favorite addition to full SS collections, the Tags Paper, offered in Make It Merry, Holly Days, Spooky Nights, & Homegrown. Likewise, I’ve felt indifferent about new releases for the last couple years & definitely prefer white to cream (or distressed edged) backgrounds. I’ve heard/read (probably on a past thread here, although uncertain the source) that Bazzill Vanilla cardstock matches the cream with the pinkish undertone used in SS collections. The Bazzill Vanilla cardstock is very light and does match most cream based collections well. I buy a lot of it. My problem with the “cream” in SS collections is that it’s never the same, sometimes within the same collection. Some papers will be yellowish, and others greenish-cream. I prefer white base.

I didn’t buy anything. Not upset about it. I would’ve maybe picked up the label stamp set but oh well it sold out. I see they are now stocking stamp sleeves in the shop. I bet they’re stocking the sleeves after Laura showed her stamp storage in the class Saturday. Ali really liked it and mentioned that they thought about carrying them before but had decided against it.

Let's have a line called "Good Game" and highlight participating and enjoying playing or attending. I love this! Our coach says “celebrate the effort, not the accomplishment.”

I say work on the new pages. Once you complete those, if you feel like going back to the old pages and either adding some updated sprinkles and such OR completely redoing them, you can decide at that point. 😁

I really like the green travel album - but I'm thinking it could be my DD album this year? I though this too! But the map pattern on the inside is making me pause to consider.

I want a work related stamp set. AE’s WITL work stamp set made me realize I don’t have one. I didn’t buy hers because of the handwriting but I may because I need one and haven’t found any others. I agree with this - and one that doesn’t revolve around coffee (or girl boss, side hustle, etc as mentioned above).

My theme wish is a mom line that isn’t about chores and errands. That’s just not my motherhood identity. And that isn’t pink or florals. Wha?!!!
Photoplay had a mom line that wasn’t pink (yay!) but the tones of the colors just clashed and were not a pleasing combo to me at all. Pinkfresh could nail it, but they would probably use that horrible muddy salmon color they are so fond of. Ick.

I guess I'm the opposing viewpoint. I feel over-themed! I would love to see a few "generic" collections like the old My Mind's Eye lines, and also BasicGrey. Pretty paper and some titles, phrases that could work for multiple topics. I don't necessarily want a collection of "insert theme here" materials to scrapbook about that theme. I use pretty paper, the photos do their thing and show the theme/topic, and I have a happy layout. I would agree with this but unless a collection is floral it doesn’t seem to be ‘unthemed’ and there is so much more to ‘unthemed’ than floral or seasonal lines. Yes! The old Chatterbox stuff was great. When did everything non-themed become only punk and floral? Ugh.
