For me it's probably all the 3 ring binders I bought along with all the divided page protectors. My favorites are now discontinued or extremely hard to find so it's nice to know I have what I'll need going forward.

Thickers, cause right now I could whip up a title no problem! But I do miss TM to feed my thickers obsession....

I have enough paper to last quite a long time which makes me happy. I also have enough albums to last the next two years but I started my 2020 album yesterday and opened up my last four packs of page protectors. I hope I have more stashed somewhere... I do have a ton of the divided kind so maybe I should find a way to use those.

Happy that I can scrap forever with the papers I have collected over the years, and delighted to find that the older lines can often be merged with the newer ones in similar themes.
My sticker supply is still overflowing, and I am learning new ways to create e's and a's and n's and t's from other letters...

I do PL style pocket page scrapping. I had quit scrapping for about 6 years, then resumed with pocket pages in 2016.
I have a couple of unopened Design A 60 packs and probably 40 assorted design pps, and three new 12x12 albums. So I’m good for a few more years as I usually just use one album per year, and usually around 40 pps per album.
I know this goes against popular opinion, but I stocked up on BH PL kits from Amazon and EBay, and when TM had them for $6.99. I probably have around 15 kits, some I haven’t even opened yet. Though I prefer squared corners, the rounded ones don’t bug me enough to not use them, and I am happy to have a pretty much unending and relatively inexpensive supply of cards given the large number in each kit! I have a small supply of square corner cards from other sources which I use, but I don’t mix round and square on pages. Having the BH cards readily available and in a pretty big variety of colors makes it easy for me to keep scrapping, I often pick a kit and use it for a month. I do embellish cards to jazz them up a bit, and I sometimes make my own with the large stash of card stock I have left from non-pocket-page 12x12 scrapping.
I probably need to pick up another 60 pack of Design A pps and maybe another album or two, since BH has given up....

Paper pads.
They're a great bang for my buck. I'm still pulling sheets from the four pads I bought late 2018. Whereas I used up the individual sheets I bought from ACOT in less than two weeks' time.
It's cost prohibitive for me to buy all my pp sheets individually at 99 cents a pop.
Best for me to grab a Hot Buy pad when it's $5. Or shop the clearance end cap and grab the name brand for around $7/pad.

Most of it, especially my patterned papers. I built my stash knowing I’d probably have to rely solely on it eventually.
Not quite 4 years ago we moved to a small town in Texas. The only store is a CVS Pharmacy,and that is a more recent addition. I have to drive to another town just to get groceries.
I shop from my hoard.

I'm so glad I spent January going and getting ATG adhesive when I had a 50% off coupon. I hate being scrimpy with glue, etc...and now I feel like I have enough for a good long while.

right before all the COVID stuff started I bought 3 packs of adhesives (1,000 squares-the little square ones).. those I use as a back up when I run out of my ATG tape... I am cheap.. so I use a combo of the squares and the runner.
Paper.. Glad I have lots and lots of paper.

I have enough to stock a decent sized store or two, so I am pretty happy with my stash right now. I'm actually going through my supplies, pulling out the things I won't use or that I have too many of (ex, PL cards from early core kits). I'm also trying to get things organized by type, and I'm rediscovering a lot of old things that are no longer made that I'm glad I kept (like Making Memories journaling notepads and QK alphabets).

I kinda want to say I'm not happy about hoarding anything because my supplies are flowing like lava everywhere. Now if it was organized I would say my theme paper and my WRMK albums. The thing about the albums is that if I ever got caught up so to speak, I wold run out of albums mid way.

I don't even care if round and square on the same page! I also use the PL metal cutting dies a lot. I don't know how many core kits I own, but they fit in two photo boxes along with other misc. journal cards. They take up much less room than all of my paper. I did organize them by color and I'm using them more. If I were to find a decent deal on another core kit, I would probably buy one. I like the convenience of having ready made cards.
I guess I'm glad I hoarded paper. I like to have options. I feel like I have just the right amount.

I wouldn’t say I hoarded it, but I just never got rid of the leftover vinyl I had used on a couple of previous projects. I ended up using it today to make labels for my craft storage boxes.

I should be set for a long while on ATG. I still have 2 full bottles of liquid glue, but I'm starting to pay attention to how often I reach for it. |

6x8 albums and protectors - they seem to be harder to find these days in a variety of colors. They are my go-to for vacation scrapbooks!

I just love having a stash
I can make a card or scrap a photo in most themes with what I have
I love being able to be spontaneous

Right now, I am happy for everything in my stash. I restocked my adhesive supply just before the shutdowns started, so I am in good shape there.
I have a stash of paper I will never use, or so I thought. I used it to cover both sides of some thin cardboard and placed it in a 12x12 page protector to support it, then added my DD's school work to either side of the cardboard. It was not staying put in her album. It worked really well.

I needed some extra page protectors, photo paper and ink, cardstock and adhesive and have been able to get those on Amazon no problem.
I guess as long as Amazon is able to provide me those things - I'll be ok! I bought enough printer ink to last me a while so I should be OK there.

I am glad that I have plenty of adhesive...I am loaded with ATG refills, score tap in 2 sizes, and glue dots. I am going to need some foam tape sometime in May or possibly June.

I am in the "everything" camp too! With random fabric I've saved for years, I've been able to make enough masks for my family members. I've used my 20+ year old glue gun to make a fun, rainbow wreath for my door with all bits of ribbons, buttons, felt, etc. And I can scrapbook and make cards for a long while.... I was able to send off a donation to cards for kindness.
I don't know how many times I've said "all my crafty hoarding has finally paid off!"
Also you know how crafters have weird things like different adhesives, glue dots, wires, string, fibers, pipe cleaners, beads, tools, etc...all things I utilize to make things or sometimes fix things around the house. It's fun to know I have stuff that will work.

I am quite grateful for my entire stash. There are some items that, while not hoarding, am glad that I still have hanging around. - Looking at you Prima Viola felt products. There are many things I wish we could still get, but am making sure I use things if they are right for my layouts and not just saving them.
I must say that I wish I could actually use up enough to show a dent. I don't get to scrap much, but when I do, I just am not good at putting a lot on my layouts. Would love to be able to go through embellishments like some other scrappers do. Would love to have them on pages rather than in packages.
So happy that I don't need to worry about running out of adhesive, page protectors or albums any time soon.

I can still find anything I need online. I have enough page protectors, albums, and papers to do at least 15-20 more albums. I go through tape quickly and order in packs of at least 24.

I wouldn't say I hoarded it, but whenever I buy online I always try to find enough other things to order so that I can get free shipping. Last time I bought I stocked up on adhesives and some solid cardstock. Figure I will use it eventually. Just hate to pay for shipping.

My Basic Grey paper. I still use it all of the time. I buy tons of new collections but sometimes I like to go back and scrap with the old stuff. I think Basic Grey's style really holds up. Some old scrapbook paper looks dated (I've been scrapping for 20 years) but Basic Grey always looks fresh.

Reading the title of this post, my first reaction was, "Toilet Paper" of course!
After thinking a bit, my reaction is tools. DH is spending our social distancing time by building a model ship. He keeps coming to me looking for small tools.
Suddenly it isn't my sCRAPROOM, or studio. It's a godsend for him. Now he appreciates my art and craft supply stash.

I'm happy I hoarded my entire stash, especially all the old scrapbook lines that have been gone for years.
I am especially happy I bought the 3 ring 12x12 scrapbooks I loved from Two Peas right before they closed! I think I bought 18 or 20 of them because they were Making Memories brand and they closed too...ugh.
