I don't scrapbook as much as I used to. I am now more into making handmade journals and greeting cards, and using a lot of my scrapbooking supplies for that. I've also gotten into Memorydex cards and belong to a FB group where we swap our handmade Memorydex cards. I also make mini scrapbooks to give away as gifts.

If it was trendy I more than likely bought it at least once!

My only no's so far are hinges, paint other than that with foam stamps, hand stitching and heat embossing.

you take a sheet of cardstock and glue scraps of torn paper/cardstock randomly all over it, add stamping, heat embossing, etc... then cut into 1" squares to use as embellishments. They were actually quite pretty if you used similar or coordinating colours. Often the squares were matted - you could add an eyelet or some fibre...

I knew I should have replied when I first saw this thread and the list was a lot shorter

Jolee's - I think I've been gifted a couple of packs so I've used those, but I've never bought any for myself
Hinges - yes, and I think I still have one set left in my stash
brads - yes, and I still use them. I actually prefer the self adhesive "brads" by SS, but have bought proper brads reasonably recently from them too.
eyelets - I never had a massive stash of these thankfully because I still have most of them.
Ribbons - yes, and still use them very occasionally
Paint chips - no
Paper Piecing - I think I did it once?
Beads - I used the tiny micro beads a handful of times as flower centres for those tiny prima milk bottle flowers.
Buttons - yes but now I hate them
Shakers - I've done a couple but don't really have the patience for them
Rub ons - Yes and still use them often, I love them when they work well. I most recently bought some from the Spectrum Sherbet line.
Torn paper - yes and still do it
Paperkins - no, completely missed this trend and am not mad about that at all
Shaped scissors - yes and I still use the two sizes of scallops I own. I also have pinked ones but virtually never pull them out.
wire- I had a couple of packs of the pre-made words (which I know included dream and cherish), but never got into making my own
Prima flowers- yes and still do on occasion but once I use up my stash I doubt I'll replace them
Flair - yes although like everyone else I've had to toss all the rusty ones. I have some brands that have held up well though so I'm happy to keep using them
Fibers - Yes, I still have a tiny stash of them which I really should just toss since I am quite clearly never going to use them.
Wood veneer - yes, I should pull this back out, I love adding wood veneer hearts and stars in my clusters.
Shaped cardstock/pp - yes, I loved the MM ones back in the day and just scored a heap of them in a destash haul I picked up a couple of weeks ago so I have a whole new to me stash to play with!
Foam stamps by MM and messy stamping with acrylic paint - I only had one set, the scrolls/flourishes, which are still in my stash. I have another brand of alpha in foam which I also really like even though I never use any of them.
Magic Mesh - no
Mulberry Paper - yes but only ever one or two sheets. This was probably the first product that I can remember layering liberally to use it up.
Acrylic - yes
Bakers Twine - yes and I still use, although I usually prefer the plain twine for my tags.
Machine stitching on layouts - yes I love the look of this. If I had somewhere to leave my machine out I think I'd do it much more often.
Hand stitching - did it once but it's really not my thing
Canvas and Burlap - no
Serendipity Squares - no, I never really understood the appeal on these
Calendar pages - no
Stamping - yes, I love it and do it often
Heat embossing - yes although I don't do it nearly as often as I should
Paint - yes. I remember Shimelle used paint to "ink" the edges of her papers on a layout and I love how it looked so that's how I typically use paint these days. In the earlier days I used it paint raw chipboard or to make my own ink splatters
Triangle corners - yes
Metal embellishments - yes. I still have a few and added some into the iris container on my desk of things I would like to put onto layouts just last week
Dies - yes
Bingo cards - yes
Bottle caps - yes, and I still have a handful of blank bottle caps in my stash
Staples - yes
Clips - yes, I really hated the old shaped clips (remember those spirals?) but I love the FJ tiny paper clips and heart and star shaped clips.
vellum - yes, I still use this, mostly for layering


Another one to add to the list - who used photo turns? I loved them and still have some old black 7Gypsies ones and some antique coloured MM ones.
