Because I'm nosey , and also because I am shocked at how my collection of papers have grown in the 6 months I've been making cards... If you're a scrapbooker let us know. I'd imagine that generally speaking you would have a greater % of patterned paper than those who are only card makers. Is that right? ETA: Ugh, the 4th cardstock category should be 24-36". Polls aren't editable :/

I have voted. I have over the limits in all categories. It sounds worse than it is though. I scrapbook and I am a card maker.

I'm an ex-scrapbooker-dilettante (LOL) and an active cardmaker. I love patterned paper and use it often on cards.

Former scrapbooker who has 6 Ikea kallax cubes full of 12x12 cardstock and patterned paper and 2 drawer file cabinet full of 8.5x11 cardstock. It’s so full I have a ream of white cardstock and 2 packs of Taylored Expressions cardstock sitting on top because it won’t fit.
Yeah I have a paper addiction.

I have less than 6in in cardstock and probably 8-9in pattern paper (that's almost all Felicity Jane).

I’m on the lower end but still consider it a lot of paper. I’m a scrapbooker and a card maker.

I’m a (mostly) former card maker and have the max choice of card stock. It’s ridiculous. I still make some cards throughout the year but I mostly do scrapbooking, handmade mini albums and other random paper crafts.
Patterned paper for each size is in the 12”-24” range. I love patterned paper!
Great thread!!

Do we have to count reams of Neenah? I have two reams for card bases which is about 4” thick. Other than that I’m under 6” on any category, even the stupid Scrapbook dot com colored paper pads I over-bought on sale, which take up about 3” of my drawer. Another 3” or so of 6x6 papers at the moment. Big patterned paper is under 2”.

Max on everything 😁
I love patterned papers and I have been collecting them , at least started to use them with the SheetLoad sketch. But I buy them faster than I use them....
And of course you need cardstock to make cards 😊

I have a lot of paper/card stock. Not scrapping so much now but still have a lot of 12x12 plus quite a bit of 81/2 x 11 for card making.

I am both a scrapbooker and a card maker. And I have a huge stash of paper, despite giving a bunch away before we moved. However, in my defense, I have been making cards and layouts a lot longer than most here, and I used to work for the LSS that was a 10 minute drive from my home, back when we lived in Virginia. I also shopped too much at Tuesday Morning, back when their craft section used to have great deals a lot better paper options.
Thankfully for the sake of my craft space, Tuesday Morning raised prices and dramatically reduced selection on their craft supplies.

I was just buying because the price was so good and so much to choose from. It was an addiction!

I have way more patterned paper than I really should have, since I almost never use it. Problem being it's all stuff that's come my way in bundles / second hand, and I don't have the heart to not hang onto it since I refuse to pay the exorbitant price of new paper.
Recently started pulling my least favourite color/pattern combos and using those sheets for testing new die sets, so progress?

I marked 12 - 24 for patterned paper and cardstock. I've purged like crazy but those darned paper pads keep sucking me in
