This is a hard question to answer. I go through my stash every few months and combine things and get rid of packaging. I use it so I can buy more.
So let’s say I average one scrapbook page a day and I go through the stuff every 3 months.
So I guess about 90?

I think some others have mentioned the scenario of buying faster than they use up stash, so I can never really dent my stash as long as I'm doing that. I have enough supplies quantity-wise, especially paper, to make a 100 albums, and it's likely that making 3 albums - about 100 pages total - would produce a minor dent - if I didn't buy new supplies. However, I frequently don't have what I want to create specific pages I'm working on. For example, I am working on a school album, and I need specific colors or themes to go with my photos, and I can't just buy just the 2 sheets of patterned paper I need at the LSS because there are no LSS's near me anymore. And when I order online, to get those 2 sheets, I sometimes have to buy a package with 12 sheets of patterned paper and a sheet of diecuts or stickers because the papers are only available in a collection kit. So now I have 10 sheets of patterned paper plus stickers leftover that I may or may not can find a use for. But even if the papers are available to purchase as single sheets, I feel like I need to buy some other supplies so that I'm not paying $7 shipping for 2 sheets of paper. So there's the dilemma - buying more because I can't make-do with what I have.

I'd need to stop buying! I think I'd need to make at least 100 layouts to make a dent.

I interpreted the question to mean how many pages could I create withOUT adding to my stash. Not just making a dent. But b/c I buy as I go, I don't see myself really making a dent...
So how many sheets of pp or cs make a pile 2 feet high? I have four drawers full. So an 8 foot stack. For reference, I can stow an average of nine 50-page albums on a 32" shelf. So 450 pages per shelf. That means with my 8' of pp I *should* be able to create three times that, or 1350 pages. |

It would take a lot more than I probably think. I am on a temporary hiatus from scrapping and have been making a ton of cards. I just made 42 cards at a crop this weekend and have made 89 total so far this year. I have not noticed a dent in anything. It is going to take a ton of cards, but I am using more paper than when I would scrap 3 times a year since I only scrap at the crops I go to. Since I am giving the bulk of my cards away for others to use, I am not using things that add much dimension so they don't incur additional postage. I am using a lot more paper than I normally do, but not using up any of my embellishments at this time.
I do track what is used and what comes in. A big issue for me is the amount of non-consumables that don't really ever leave my stash (stamps, embossing folders, dies, etc.). Even my ink pads last a long time before needing to be re-inked.
I am running out of room for my completed albums, so at least with the cards I don't have to store them. I am hoping to find a couple local groups that would like cards donated so that I can continue to make lots of cards and not get swamped with them.

I’d be embarrassed to find out, but man….would I adore an uninterrupted weekend to see how much damage I could do!
Without buying anything but adhesive and albums/page protectors….i bet I could make 100 pages before noticing any shrinkage in my paper hoard. Embellishments and Thickers(including “thicker-ish”) probably 50.
