Fun thread! 

Hinges - yes I used them.

Ribbon - yes I used it, and I still do. Most digital kits have ribbon in them.

Rub-ons - yes I used them, mainly alpha rub-ons.

Paint chips from the home improvement store - I collected a lot of them, but can't remember actually using any. 

Torn paper with inked edges for distressed look - yes I did this. If you've ever watched Shimelle's videos you will know that she inks almost everything.

Beads - yes, and still do occasionally.

Buttons - yes and still do.

Paperkins - I think I used them on a couple of my daughters early pages. I dislike them immensely now.

Prima flowers - Loved them then, love them now

Brads - I used them all the time, especially with Prima flowers.

Eyelets - I had them in every colour and shape imaginable. 

Fibres - yes I used to use them, mainly on tags

Wood veneer - I think I must have stopped paper scrapping when wood veneer came out, because I can't remember using it. I do use it now, however, and I have Photoshop styles and actions to make my own wood veneer elements. 

Foam stamps - I had SO MANY foam stamps! And paints in every colour.

Jolee's: no, I never used stickers of any kind except alphabet
Hinges: no - I don’t even remember this being a thing
Brads: yes, and currently
Eyelets: yes, I still have them but I don’t use because I was bad at using the tool and getting them smashed evenly. I should try again.
Ribbon: yes, then and now
Rub-ons: yes, alphabet only then and now
Paint chips: no. I remember this being a thing but I never did it
Torn paper: yes, I loved it then and still now. It’s a major go to technique for me
Beads: no
Buttons: yes, then, still have but haven’t used. Not opposed, might use for the right thing.
Fibers: had but didn’t really use and got rid of them
Paperkins: yes. And not only the kits but I bought the punches with the people and parts - hairstyles etc. still have them but don’t use - maybe I should for kicks.
Foam stamps: bought and still have. Never used
Prisma flowers- ditto to foam stamps except I think I sold them in garage sale
Colored wire: yep! Used it a few times even. I no longer have
Wood veneer: this trend wasn’t happening when I used to scrap
Metal embellishments: yes. So so much. Loved it. Had alphas and charms etc - still have them - maybe I should use lol

and let reach all the way back to the late 90s....anyone remember the CADD page toppers? I had SO many of them - and I used them, almost all of the ones I had are on pages. I still have one or two I think.

And I'm not sure if they were also CADD or MME or something else but they were bigger rectangles with a title and an embellishment border to cut in half for the top and bottom of a layout...same time frame though I think - late 90s/early 2000s - they were EK Success Overalls

I didn't realise that they did that - their stuff was so fun, I really liked it. That's awesome you were involved with them and wow - you must have been on the forefront of using alcohol markers for scrapping

Fun question pantsonfire!

Jolee's - not many, I think a few of the baby theme ones
Shaker boxes - not yet!
Hinges - not the metal ones, but some of the realistic sticker ones from (I think) Sticker Studio
Ribbon - a little on pages, but more to decorate homemade chipboard albums and on the handles of those little tin lunchboxes that were popular some years ago.
Rub-ons - yes, some were way better than others. I have quite a few of these left but they're probably not good now.
Brads, eyelets - I still use brads once in awhile, but hardly ever eyelets anymore. Haven't throw them out yet though!
Torn paper, inked edges - still do this
Paper dolls - loved the ones from Stamping Station; still have them but don't use them much; too cute to get rid of
Flair buttons - never used them and had to throw away the ones I had due to rust
Flowers - still use them sometimes
Wooden pieces - use them sparingly
Foam stamps - still have some of these. And you all are right: how messy these were with the paint (which dried up pretty fast in those cute little bottles.)

Jolee's - I have used them
Hinges - nope
brads - I used to use them a lot. I still have a ton but I either forget about them or I'm too lazy.
eyelets - I did a looooong time ago. I think I got rid of them. I have no idea where my setter is.

Beads - I used to have beads with words on them I used for a few layouts.
Buttons - I love buttons. I've used a lot.
Shakers - Nope.
Rub ons - Yes, and I like the effect. The problem is that some of my old ones don't work anymore.
Torn paper - Back in the day I used it for everything. Now I forget about it, but I do like how it looks.
Paperkins - never
Shaped scissors - I used them to make an edge on a tag or border but never on photos, thank goodness.

Other trends:

wire- I had some premade embellishments that used wire.
Prima flowers- Yep, used them a lot. I still pull them out sometimes.
Flare - loved them but so many got rusty.

Wood veneer - I use it constantly. I have a huge stash.
Shaped cardstock/pp - Oh my gosh, I forgot about that. I do have some- time to dig it out.
Foam stamps by MM and messy stamping with acrylic paint - I did this on a few layouts. I never used the Making Memories paint that dried out. I just used the cheap acrylics bottles you can get for $1-$2.

Magic Mesh - Nope. I thought it was funny that it was just drywall tape.
Mulberry Paper - I did use this- I just didn't make tear bears.
Acrylic - Yes! I love it.
Bakers Twine - I love it. I use it often.
Machine stitching on layouts - I would if I had a machine. I lent mine to my sister and never got it back. I do plan on buying one.
Hand stitching - I did this a lot. I love the way it looks.
Canvas and Burlap - I used a ton of it and still do. I love texture on pages.
Serendipity Squares - Yes! I forgot about those. I do like the way they look.
