Umm... I am addicted to mists and Twinkling H2Os. I don't have every color, but I have way more than I probably really need. But, I have to keep my options open, so the more colors I have, the better my chances of having the right color, right?? LOL

I LOVE you guys!!! Original Sizzix, I have 2 because I saw one at a yard sale for only $10 and, well, you can't pass That up! And I have two side kicks because I saw one at a yard sale for only $3 and, well, you know the rest! And so it goes with the rest of my scrap room! So much stuff! And I love it all!!!

Ah! What a great thread, sisters of stashes UNITE! I too have a large craft room stuffed to the gills. Paper oh about 15', every color of ribbon, eyelet, brad, scrapbook paint, alcohol ink, (put in just about anything here) known to womankind. Red handled Sizzix-check, Bind-It-All-check, Cuttlebug-check, Grand Calibur-check, KNK (electronic cutter)-check. The KNK has been collecting a little too much dust recently. Good news? I've been scrapping lately, and making cards with my stash. Blogging and entering challenges have been a real blessing to get me going. Some of the challenges that use our well-aged supplies are a blast. Shopping my stash is fun and I am glad I have it. I've not purged for about 5 years, but haven't been buying as much. Well except in the last few months I've "needed" some new stamps and inks. The inks for sure b/c some of my old Colorbox cat eyes are dried out!

I feel like all my pages look the same.
Either too linear and "same," or "messy" in the same way. It's like I can't make layouts that look original anymore. I still like them, but I almost feel bored with them.
I always have my eye open for scrap supplies where ever I go. Especially on sale at M's or at the Dollar Tree. But can't bear to buy clothes for myself. Ugh.

I can't remember the last time I scrapbooked, yet I keep buying more and more supplies! Sadly I'm turning into a collector as opposed to a scrapbooker! My husband occasionally calls my scraproom the Archive. When I pack stuff up and move it out of the actual scraproom he calls it Freight forwarding! him, he has a hobby which costs more than mine so I am safe for now. We may be married to brothers! My DH calls my armoire full of paper Archiver's. And he calls crops "cult meetings!"

I bought all the CTMH ink pads that were available about 3 years ago, and most are still sealed.

I don't put stuff away after doing a project. I can't let go of paper scraps over 1" but I don't have a good sorting system so they stay on my work surface. It is down to less than 9" and I still work on a tiny spot. No wonder small clear stamps and dies go missing. This is me.....except I do have a good sorting system for paper scraps but it might take weeks for the paper scraps to actually get there.

I watch videos about Scrapbooking and papercrafting.
I get inspired to make something.
I shop for all the necessary supplies.
They come in the mail.
I forget what I was planning to do with them and where I saw the video.
I've done this about 6 times.
I feel like we should do scrapper-shaming like the dog-shaming pictures.

I only buy paper and embellishments when I have a particular layout in mind. However, by the time I actually do the layout, I will have purchased enough items to do 20 layouts for that one page. I like to keep my options open.

I love embellishments but most of my layouts are layered paper and cardstock with only the occasional embellishment Yep, this is me too. I do very simplistic scrapbooking and when I use embellishments, I use them sparingly. I love embellishments for other kinds of projects though. I have learned I like to do layouts that look like I threw up flowers or "stuff" on a page. Yup I confess to big, crowded pages! Love them and wouldn't have them any other way. This is why I need so much stuff, right?

I love this thread. I'm able to confess to people who won't roll their eyes! I havn't finished my daughter's pre-school scrapbook. She is in second grade! I havn't finished my other daughter's pre-school scrapbook. She is in kindergarten! I've made lots of other pages for their regular scrapbooks and the family vacation one but I just can't finish up the pre-school ones. I think it's my way of denying that they aren't little pre-schooolers anymore.

I have 30-50 rolls of washi tape. I have yet to use a single piece of it on a project. What the hell am I waiting for??

Oh and another confession...my scrapping style is stuck in 2010. But that's what I like and I'm not moving! Plus my hoard of papers and embellishments looks great on my "2010 style" layouts

I think I've used (small) pieces of it on two or three layouts, maybe, but that's it. I guess when I started buying it I thought 'it will be easier to use as a page border' because I can lift it up and re-position it, but the couple times I've tried to do that with it I have a hard time getting it onto the page straight. I also am addicted to mists (I just love the little spray bottles) and spray inks, and have only ever used them once or twice, too.

I took apart my crappy wedding photo book (not a scrapbook) at least 15 years ago so I could scrap my wedding photos, and I've been married for over 25 YEARS! I am well over a decade behind and I must have close to 20,000 photos saved/backed up on various computers, CDs and external drives. I will never be close to caught up and I don't care.

I have probably 100 rolls of washi tape. Never cut a millimetre of it. (That isn't very much!) I like my stuff to look brand new!
You know when Prima started putting like 4 flowers in a package and they became all fancy? Yeah, neither do I but one day they did and I started buying that way instead of bottles. Do you know I have never, ever opened a package let alone used ONE flower? I did use a couple of the Got Flowers from the bottles but never a new one.
Bazzill? I bought 500 sheets or so of it when it was on sale at Michaels. How many sheets have been used? Um ever? None as of yet.
The Cricut still NiB yeah that's a bit of an issue right there. The cartridges are all still NiP too in the back of my closet completely inaccessible.
Paper Trey Ink dies, stamps and inks? I have let's say a fair collection. Not a single stamp has ever been used. No die has ever cut anything out and all the inks and reinkers are just as they were. New.
Copic markers? All 300000000000 of them that I had to have before the price went up a couple of years ago? Yeah. New. It's ok.

Time to learn, so I will consult the technical thread/s on the board. Thanks for your interest If you have a non-confidential email addy, that I can do.

I like to buy school themed items but I avoid making school themed layouts... My oldest is in 4th grade, I have one "first day of school" layout finished. I have 4 kids... Something about using their school pictures (and class pictures which are not all the same size, depending on the photographer and the school year) intimidates me.
I have two dressers in my scrapbook room. Both have 3 drawers. At least 4 of the 6 drawers are stuffed full of kid art work, memorabilia, papers, notices, newsletters, drawings etc. I can not figure out how to incorporate it into a layout and the pile grows daily...
I only own about 10 rolls of washi tape.
I own a Cinch. I used it for December Daily in 2010 and haven't gotten it out of the box since...
I don't like letter stickers.

Take a number babe! I have so many people in line it's incredible LOL. I can't find anyone here who wants to scrap with me. I have all this stuff and no one who wants to scrap together! How cruel is that?

I have another confession. I don't even know all the latest and greatest scrappy things. Especially not paper. There is just too much of it for me to keep on top of it. And because of my ignorance, I buy whatever paper I like. Even the *gasp* Colorbok paper pads at Walmart. Bought this one last night. Already used it & love it.

ooh, I like that paper! My local Walmarts never have anything that good in the (sad, little) craft section!! That paper pad ticks my 'DCWV-matching-paper-so-I-don't-have-to' boxes... although if I was truthful, I would also have to say it also ticks my 'don't-have-any-need-for-it-at-all-so-it-would-just-sit-around' boxes, too!! lol!! (that almost never stops me from buying paper, though...)
ETA: forgot to say, if you used it already, then good for you! who cares where you got it from as long as you like it??
