I was looking through my secret stash of supplies, okay, a couple of boxes of things I had forgotten were neatly tucked in my closet. It made me get all nostalgic for when I didn't have nearly as many supplies and some of these items were had to have items (that I clearly didn't have to have or I would have used them).
Before Christmas, I purchased a few punches that could fall into this category. So now I am determined to use them and get some use out of them. One is easy, it is a cute camera punch and has made an appearance on at least 5 layouts already. Another is a fox punch/stamp set (Stampin Up). I am thinking it could be used kind of like a Hidden Mickey on some layouts. The last one is a cupcake punch that I had to have.
So what COULDN'T I live without? This year it will be my punches. I am going to use at least one every layout. I have hundreds. It shouldn't be that difficult.
What is in your stash that you could use on every layout?

I too have so much stuff I bought with an idea in mind, and never used. Brass stencils, dies, stamps, cardstock, chalks, brushes, blenders; all space fillers and excuses for not having a tidy studio ... way too much stuff.

I don’t scrap anymore, it’s card making for me. Best purchase I’ve made and use a lot is my Scan n Cut. My stamps are getting a lot more use now that I don’t have to fussy cut anymore. Added plus is being able to buy designs from the Silhouette store.

Does my Cricut count? I just got a Maker for Christmas, and I had an Explore Air before that. I've had a Cricut since they first came out, and I've always used it for almost every layout. I even use it for a lot of cards. I would have no problem using it for everything.

Double sided foam tape. I could use it on every layout. I could use enamel dots on every layout. And patterned paper, especially theme paper.

I had to have them years ago. I think going to the scrapbook conventions made me think I would make all of these cute creations with them.

Tiny attacher is a tool I find myself using on almost everything. I use my Silhouette quite a bit, too.

Hmmm, I'd have to give this a lot of thought. I like all my things, but find stamps are something that I don't use very often.

Ribbon. I have tons of it, continue to buy it, but yet, seldom use it. But it sure is all pretty!

Label stickers or little tabs turn up on a lot of my pages, I find them to be the perfect little thing to tuck under photos or layer as cluster bases, or just stick right on top of photos.

Definitely enamel dots, foam tape, and spray mist, usually gold or white.

Art glitter glue. I found it about a year ago and love the stuff! Enamel dots - love them! They get used on most layouts. I have Nuvo drops, too and like them but probably use enamel dots more often. Trimmer. I have both sizes of the cutterpillar. As I get older and have more trouble seeing up close, the light is really handy.

Dies, well die cuts from my many many dies. I made a concerted effort to not use any dies on my memory planner January month pages ‘before’ over this past weekend.
I make no guarantee that by the end of the month there won’t be a die cut on there from one of my many dies. It’s just what I naturally gravitate towards. They certainly reappeared when I did the memory planner page for Jan 1-3
I can craft without dies, but not for long

Ink! I love ink with a ridiculous passion.
Of course my ATG, but I think that goes without saying.
I also love to put a little tiny quote somewhere on my card. A positive message in tiny print. So I do not believe I could live without google!
