After years of scrapbooking, I have to admit that I don't use my scrapbooking supplies just for scrapbooks, and probably haven't been for a long time. Other than creating actual scrapbooks for traveling vacations and keeping up with the yearly Christmas scrapbook, I simply don't scrapbook anymore. Rather, I use my supplies for card-making; journals (for myself, to give as gifts, and to sell at craft shows); creating miniatures and dioramas (think TH village dies and compatible supplies); and creating Memorydex and pocket letters, both of which I belong to FB swap groups. I've also used my scrapbook supplies in making crafts/booklets for the 2-3 year-old Sunday school class that I teach. What all do you use your scrapbook supplies for?

I'm still scrapbooking - I also make cards now and then. DD15 uses my supplies for school stuff and art projects sometimes (and in turn I borrow her alcohol markers - one day I'll have a nice set of my own). I did use them a lot for Girl Scouts but I'm not involved in leadership at the moment so that's no longer needed. But primarily - still scrapbooking for me.

I'm creatively-challenged & use my supplies exclusively for scrapbooking (no cardmaking, journaling, mini books, etc.).

It's been handy for some of my boys' school projects. But just this week I'm using my Cinch machine to make some notebooks at work (my church) for a small group study we recently started. We could have used the regular binding machine with plastic combs, but the wires look so much better.

I haven’t scrapbooked in years, I use mine for card making and my DGS loves the vast supply of stickers I had accumulated.

I've never thought of my supplies as just sb supplies. I have always considered them as paper crafting supplies, so they have always been for anything paper craft related. Sometimes even scratch paper when I decide I don't like some paper and the design is fairly plain.

Scrapbooking, card making and planning (mostly washi and stamps). In the past I also used them for art journaling, but now I am more likely to turn any art journal pages into scrapbook layouts. I've also used them to help make decorations for teachers' bulletin boards--my Silhouette has been especially useful for this.

I still scrapbook but don't got to crops anymore. I use my CM shoulder tote to store and tote my kids' snow clothes (we live in So Cal, so don't need it except for mountain vacations).

I use my supplies mostly for scrapbooking but I make an occasional card and I've also used my supplies for drive by signs and gift wrap.

I do still scrapbook, but I also use my stash for my kids' school projects all the time.

I haven’t scrapbooked in years. I now mostly make cards. I don’t journal, use a planner and I’m not at all artistic, so art journals are out. I recently started making glue books. There are no rules, I use anything and everything. They don’t have to have a theme or even a reason. It allows me to use all the supplies I have accumulated over the years. I can use my stamps and cutting dies, I use my Cricut Joy, stickers, buttons and all sorts of dimensional items, but I don’t have to. I’m trying to purge and downsize my supplies, but I am finding that there is virtually nothing that I can’t use in or for my glue books. For example, I use my Cinch to make my own little books and bind the greeting I’ve received in card exchanges.

Outside of crafting, I use washi to wrap gifts and the ugly ones I don't know why I bought get used for labeling things that go into the freezer lol

Aside from scrapbooking, I make cards and do a daily pages notebook. Occasionally I make some type of Christmas decoration or decor.

It almost feels like I have used my supplies for everything else but scrapbooking  Since I started a very busy job in 2018 I hardly scrapbooked but I used my supplies to help with learning Chinese (similar to Janet from RTS is storing her diecuts I store the characters - sounds weird but works for me) and since working from home, almost 2 years now, my 8.5x11 coloured cardstock is used to print sailing schedules etc (I'm working in shipping), my washi is also regularly used in the kitchen. Apart from the non-crafty uses I use my supplies in my fitness journal and this year also for my OLW. |

Cardmaking, art journaling, and kids school projects (he has polished off an old Valentine collection after a few years of making his Valentines bag for school!).
Sometimes home decor too, and...for work (mostly paper trimmer and my atg and twine, making tags for little goodie bags I drop by for clients).

Mostly scrapbooks, but today I whipped out a dozen + storage bins (3 x 3) because we were putting together a hutch that had hardware parts the were labeled to R. So 18 different bags of parts all had their own little plastic bins. Made things so much easier. I just put the little letter sticker in the bin.

Scrapbooking, card making, home decor, small gift boxes and bags, church projects, grandkid entertainment, and probably other ways that I’ve forgotten.

I recently used some of my scrapbook supplies in a shadow box for a friend. He loved it.
