As a continuation of this thread, what papercrafting supplies did you buy this quarter (July - Sept)? TFS. |

Good question... Lego paper from Paper Wizard, a Lawn Fawn birthday stamp/die, a couple of stencils and some stickers at the $Tree, magnetic sheets for dies, ink daubers, white cardstock, printer ink, adhesives, three dies from EP (pirate ship, blocks, and sewing)...mostly replacements of basics, I think overall. (in the interest of full disclosure - DH has bought me several dies, ink pads, and stamps this quarter and I got a lovely RAK box full of goodies from trixiecat) |

I was pretty restrained during the last quarter. I bought white cardstock and a couple of ink cubes that I didn't already have in my stash but which I've wished I'd owned, and a couple of packs of enamel dots, again based on colours I don't have. I picked up the VB Printshop 6x8 pad when I was in Spotlight last week which was a totally unnecessary purchase, but it was $6 and I am confident I can use all the papers in it and have already used 3 or 4 of them.
I'm really happy with where my spending was for the quarter, especially as I know I'll spend more in the coming months as I will likely buy something for my DD album (I have virtually no Christmas supplies left), and will shop at FJ if she has a black Friday sale.

I went to TWO scrapbook stores this quarter. I bought a fall collection kit from EP, some enamel dots, 6x8 and 8x8 page protectors, the FJ Christmas collection (not all of it), and some random Christmas papers to use for cards. Oh, and some 8.5x11 page protectors from Amazon. I haven't received those to know if I am happy with the quality. I like to mix and match sizes in my 12x12 albums.

No lss here, but I have ordered a couple of stencils, several Distress Oxide inks (hope I actually use them), some items off Shimelle's "shopping lists", a couple of pads of Bella Blvd. background papers, and a Paper Rose "Bluebird Song" collection that I'm finding very hard to use. The papers are beautiful but they might be too fancy for my photos.  |

A lot. I bought a lot. :/
But what stands out as my best purchase was a mini misty. I didn’t have any stamp platforms and I have amassed a lot of stamps and wasn’t pleased with the images or I’d be stressed the image wouldn’t be good and ruin my project. Well, the misty turned out to be perfect for me! I figured I’ve invested so much in the stamps I want them to be fun to use and look nice.
I read the thread where people didn’t like the owner or she’s shady or something but I was unable to find any other option so I just went with it (I wanted a smaller platform so I only stamp on PL cards and didn’t want it to take up more room than needed).
I also bought too much AE Christmas thanks to the boxing period that lasted a million years. I also discovered Kerri Bradford stamps and also everyday explorers stamps and like both.

Shorter answer to this question is what did I NOT buy in Q3 🤭

Hopefully, not that much.
- From EBay, some Jolee's and Reminisce stickers and a Cricut cartridge for specific pages I was working on, 2 CTMH retired stamp sets for Stories By the Month pages, an ECD Art Journal die set, 2 unbranded tab and reinforcer dies,
- Unbranded leaf dies from Amazon
- Adhesive from Hobby Lobby
- Adhesive flowers and a few sheets of paper from Michael's (for specific pages)
- A Paper Roses Collection pack, 8 random papers, and Sprigs die set from scrapbook.com
- Some Random Vicki Boutin papers from Etsy.
- SS Lakeside and ArtOptions Holiday Wishes kits
Ok, that sounds like a lot.

I grabbed some of Vicki Boutin's Sweet Rush on sale at ACOT. My pre-order of Print Shop arrived but that doesn't really count since I placed the order in May. |

September was a heavy buying month due to Dec Daily + Oct Daily/Halloween prep. AE DD - altho proud I only ordered 2 times on the first day AE Halloween kit - to do a Halloween past album of my kids - this was a perfect purchase for this and I am already started. H Swapp Hallows 22 - loved her Halloween stamp and some of the add ons, and again, already used it. Also purchased her Hallows Stamp Therapy class - I loved the examples of stamping pumpkins different ways so excited to extend my creativity with stamps. Ebay Stamp purchase - I also ran across an eBay lot of Sweet Shop Stamps that included a stamp I have been looking for for months so I made that purchase as well - no regrets as I have already used it several times! And regular monthly subs I am REALLY tempted to get a few Kerri B Christmas/font stamps right now but trying to be good. I also keep looking at the Digitals for 30-40% off on Lily Pad - sale ends today.....eek! ETA - I also did a big Studio Calico order of albums and page protectors bc they had 9x12 albums for 40-50% off. Not a fun purchase, but I have been keeping my PL on a binder ring without an album, so overdue |

More than I was planning to...  I knew I'd be doing a ton of organizing and was counting on buying organizers, but it seems a few additional things ended up in my cart! * 13x13 plastic sleeves for storing paper with other pieces in the same collection, or just similar papers that I know I'll use together (mini-kits??) * a couple more upright paper holders for my bookshelves - once I reorganized all of my paper storage on new bookshelves, I realized I needed some additional holders * a few stencils: a full-page ocean wave swell ( The Crafter's Workshop) inspired by another's pea's page, a pack of smaller stencils for use in my bullet journal and for journaling on SB LO pages, and a couple of other background stencils for use with the below * Mermaid Lagoon distress oxide ink * adhesive * 49 and Market: Vintage Artistry 6x6 paper pack, Spectrum Sherbet Tidal Wave 6x8 collection, Spectrum Sherbet Strawberry Lemonade 6x8 collection, & 2 rolls of washi tape from the Sherbet line * from my local TM: a wave border punch (EK Success), a no-name set of sentiment stamps, a Sizzix set of sentiment stamps, Kaiser Kraft Memory Lane 12x12 paper pad (I use the colors in this pad a lot), another set of Spectrum Noir dual-tip markers I also received a lovely RAK from trixiecat that I had loads of fun going through and sorting! (Doesn't really count as a purchase but I paid for shipping - totally worth it!) Now that my paper is more organized (and pieces I'll never use have been purged), I know I don't need to purchase any more Christmas (or Halloween, or Thanksgiving) paper so I should be OK for Q4 and not buy as much. OTOH, I will probably have an outlay at some point on some larger organizational pieces to go into my craft room storage closet which is currently undergoing an overhaul. DH already bought me one storage tower that is being put into place this week!  |

Too much!
PinkFresh Create and Connect workshop
PinkFresh dies and stamp (because of the PinkFresh discount code for Create and Connect)
Quickutz alphabets and SU stamps from a friend. She made me an offer I couldn't refuse
Technique Tuesdays stamps and AE journaling cards from the clearance sale
Misc stamps, dies, and embellishments from Spellbinders
I bought a lot and I need to slow my spending until I either find a place for my new goodies, or better yet, actually use them.

Thanks for your responses, & hope you enjoy your hauls! After purchasing only magnetic sheets & storage envelopes to organize my relatively small inventory of non-Quickutz dies during the first half of this year, I added patterned papers (Simple Stories & Pinkfresh), three stencils (Simple Stories & Echo Park), a stamp set (Simple Stories), & a die set (Sizzix) to my inventory. ETA: ... Quickutz alphabets and SU stamps from a friend. She made me an offer I couldn't refuse ... If you are comfortable sharing, which QK alphas did you buy? Which set between/among them is your favorite? |

PaperAngel I have so many QK dies, it is embarrassing! I am trying to be more judicious and not buy a font just because I don't own it. I bought Moxie regular size (I already own the mini), Blossom (mini); I have the Blossom Grand so I thought it would be nice to have it in another size, and Mind your Ps and Qs. Well, that's what she called it, but I'm not sure that is the correct name. It is a Cookie Cutter die and so doesn't have the little number code to help my search. Of the three I purchased, Mind your Ps and Qs is my favorite because I like the flourishes at the end of the letters. But I don't like that it is just upper case. Or if you're asking which font is my favorite, it is Magnolia, which I don't own yet. My favorite format is the 4x8 dies. Waaaay more than you wanted to know, lol.

scrapperal - Great haul! IIRC Lifestyle Crafts, which acquired Quickutz, released Mind Your Ps & Qs. It is the same font as QK Cosmopolitan. Hope you enjoy your new alphas…
