What products have you bought recently that you are excited about using?
I bought the Paige Evans Halloween line (except that gorgeous pumpkin/flower paper- it was sold out *sob*) and I can't wait to scrap some Halloween photos. I have no idea how I'm going to use it, because most of my Halloween photos are more creepy than cute, but darn it, I have to use that stuff.
I have several newer 45 & Market lines that are absolutely demanding my attention- the summer/beach line, the car line, and the orchard line. I haven't scrapped this month and I can hear them calling me...
I have several NJFB kits that I haven't used yet and I'm dying to get going on that, too.
What have you bought lately that you can't wait to get on a page?
(Yep, haven't spent much time here lately and have to get the board moving...)

I bought an election stamp set from Syncopation Designs, the monthly mini book from Everyday Explorers and also some random embellishments from Freckled Fawn's sale.

Just placed an order the other day - I restocked myself with Pretty Kitten paper from Doodlebug, die cuts from Paper Rose (summer Christmas Holidays and Animal Kingdom), and I treated myself to a cool Tim Holtz Halloween stamp set with spooky scenes. I saw a cool technique to blur the edges for extra spook and plan to figure out my own way to get the look (needs supplies I don’t want to buy).

I bought the Paige Evans halloween line at the beginning of July preorder from a cherry on top - still waiting for it to ship🙄. I also bought the Photoplay Lil Boo Thing from ACOT but that hasn’t shipped either because i added a few pieces of Reminisce Halloween paper that was preorder (but has been off of preorder for a week now)🙄. I just ordered Paper Rose Studio Pink Halloween from Country Craft Creations. Hopefullly that will ship soon. I have a lot of Halloween crafting to do.🤣

I placed an order this week with Color Cast Designs for their Christmas items.
I just had to replace my heat gun and I got some Nuvo paste to try.

I really haven't bought any scrappy stuff lately. I restocked my adhesive at HL and bought a cardstock pad at M. but I poked around at SG and ACOT and just couldn't get motivated to actually make an order.

I've hardly bought anything lately. In fact, I haven't bought much all year, compared to other years. My most recent purchase was the 'Foodie' kit by Just Jaimee. I bought it specifically for a layout I was doing about eating out at a restaurant.

I have bought all the things lately. I had expected to shop while I was on holidays in the US, so it wasn't unplanned and DH encouraged me to not overthink my purchases. I picked up a bunch of stuff from the newest collections from AC at J's (both paper and embellishments), a VB paper pad that I've already broken into, and some papers and thickers I got on clearance (because a lot of it is still full price here). I also got to visit Frank Garcia's shop, and Bluemoon Scrapbooking in Tucson. I picked up a heap of 49&Market from Frank Garcia's and have already used some of it.
Then a few days after I got home my pre-order of the new CV lines arrived, and I've used some of the embellishments already.
After not having made many pages over the last couple of years I am super excited by all the things I've bought and couldn't wait to get home and start creating. I have all the new embellishments in a container on my desk and I'm using them on pretty much every page I make right now.

I told you my good friend is now a Creative Memories Consultant and I try to support her but I am really trying not to buy more paper, stickers, embellishments. The other day I bought a scallop blade from her for the 12" trimmer and I am in love with this thing, with one swipe I can put cute little scallops on my paper. It is so easy that I am kicking myself I didn't buy these blades years ago. They have a couple different styles like Waves, Pinking, Colonial, etc. so I told Mr. Night Owl more decorative blades would be a good stocking stuffer (they are $9 each which isn't too bad)

I've only placed one order this year (early summer) that included various patterned papers (from numerous manufacturers/collections) & a handful of stencils - all of which I (will) enjoy!

Dark green cardstock for Christmas cards and a sentiment set
Really wanted the stamptember Tim Holtz set but at $70 USD for that one set[ cost+post+tax]to send to Oz then factor in the lousy exchange rate I couldn’t justify it

I bought the Tim Holtz set of 12 shimmer sprays. I also bought some 49 and Market rub ons. I love the last ones I bought.

When I was in Fairbanks, Alaska earlier this month on holiday, I stopped off at Joann's and bought multiple single papers that were on sale for 50c. As mentioned on a previous thread, I haven't scrapped much in the past two years but I couldn't help myself! I went into Michaels too but resisted lol. I'm hoping these new papers will kickstart me into making more LOS

I placed an order at Echo Parks fall sale, earlier this week and just now ordered the marker organizer from Organizemore. So exited for that one because my current marker storage solution is not working and I think I can use that set up for something else  |

Some Vicky Boutin Christmas papers from her new line, and a few sheets of Simple Stories Classic Mouse. The Mickey stuff will go on a thank you card for my sister for taking dd's senior photos.
The stuff above was the last order in a spree of ordering from all my favorite places, so I think I'm going to go on a buying freeze in October...

I haven't bought anything in the last few weeks. However, I have carts at ACOT and sb.com that I'm trying to pare down before my next retirement check hits the bank. Also I have a set of "spreaders" in my Amazon cart (for modeling paste which I've never used) that I'm waffling back & forth on. Sometimes it helps my wallet if I think longer about my purchases. And sometimes I miss out on supplies that quickly go "out of stock". |

A lot (for me!) of Ali’s DD stuff. Probably not a lot for a lot of DD enthusiasts, but I liked more of this release than any previous ones.
I picked up several papers of SS vintage Christmas line and maybe their other Christmas line too. I thought it was all really cute. I think I picked up diecuts too and I’m not sure what else. I confused myself hopping from SB.com to acot, back and forth and now I need to figure out what I actually got.
Ali’s latest Halloween Kit & diecut pack. I checked out so fast on release day, afraid it was going to sell out, but it’s still there. 😂 if I’d taken a minute to look at what else was released that day I’d have gotten the SBTM kit and gotten free shipping, but I was needlessly frantic.
That everything. Prior to this I hadn’t gotten anything since about March.

I got a chance to go to the somewhat LSS recently, where I found some lovely Graphic 45 beach papers and ephemera that I didn’t have. I’m probably going to make a mini album with the papers. I am really excited about making a mini again, since it’s been awhile. I also got the Echo Park Little Ladybug paper kit, and the previous trip about two weeks or so before, I bought the Simple Stories Vintage Linen Market paper pack and card kit. I am excited about all of my recent finds, although it’s probably mostly just because I have something new and different to work with for a change. I have a huge stash. I don’t really need a thing.
The only items that I buy online are digital files, which I love because I can just print and cut what I want. I’ve bought a lot of digital ephemera and papers recently.

I bought an alphabet set from SBC. The stamps are cute and the matching dies shadow them. It’s not ‘another’ alpha set since I don’t have anything like it. Totally justified my purchase.
I also bought an Altenew embossing folder with the coordinating stencils. I’ve never tried that technique so I’m looking forward to learning something new.

Ordered two sets of the TH Distress Embossing Glaze and embossing dauber from Joanns and a mystery box from Ranger Ink. I use a lot of their products so figured I would give it a whirl.

I just ordered some stamps from Kindred Stamps. Two sets inspired by Monsters Inc and a school set.

I was on a spending freeze until the Expo in August, where I didn't find too much on my list. I placed an order with sb.com and the collection I love right now is Graphic 45 Life is Abundant. I got the 8x8 version because it's nice for cardmaking and already made a nice one with the mushroom graphics.
