Paper collections. I don't need them all, but if I like them and I have a reason for them, it is hard for me to say no even though I have a decent stash.
A warehouse box can always tempt me, but thank goodness I have too much October Afternoon, Webster's Pages and Maya Road from boxes past that I haven't bought one in a couple of years. Peachy Cheap can get me with some of their offerings though.

I don't NEED anything, but  (& can always justify one more sheet of) cardstock! |

Enamel brads always seem to lure me in. And those dollar alphabet stamp sets at the big box stores! How can you go wrong for a buck?I have a few of these, and am constantly using them. They are so useful and versatile! |

Stamps. I've done good, not bought anything in December or January at all. Which is good because this month we got hit with huge vet bills, and my own doctor cost $400 (after insurance) as well. But the stamps from CHA, especially Lawn Fawn.... Man. And Greeting Farm is going to get me too. Part of it is my wanting to complete a collection. I don't buy the stamps I don't like, but if I like it and I already have a large collection from this company, it just makes me want it more.
There's some paper and some mixed media stuff I wouldn't mind having, but it's the stamps that will make me rationalize away any guilt!
(still frozen though, still strong!)

I have gone through many addictions over the years sizzix dies, QK dies, qvc kits, paper packs, stickers, sizzlet dies, cardstock, ribbon, foam stamps and paint, Cricut carts, prima flower bottles and lately stamps and the new thin dies and washi tape.

Op, I am just like you!! My goal is to spend less and use my stash. But, I am so weak!!! I love stamps and I am easily influenced to buy new things (Izink, gesso, gelatos, texture paste).
Be strong!

They're perfect for little journaling spots where you don't want to use your own handwriting. I use them all the time for putting a title in the middle of a journaling block. I don't even bother cleaning them off because I mainly use black ink, so that makes them even easier to deal with. Some of the best scrappy money I ever spent was on those stamps! My only complaint is that they don't have numbers. |

Yes, I wish they had some little number sets too, especially the $1 ones you find at WM!

Stamps, even though I have tons already and am not even using them very much at the moment. But I'm trying to stick to my budget which is basically just my PL sub this year. I have so many other expenses (and such a big stash!)

Paper and stickers, especially embellished stickers. I cannot resist. Today I went headlong into my scrapbook room and have surfaced from the mire with the conviction I never need another thing in this lifetime. But I cannot resist paper.

myboysnme, I just did the same thing-- I went to a crop three weeks ago, and just now re-organized (most of) those supplies back into my stash... I found a stack of 12x12 paper at least 8 inches tall that I didn't even know I had!! It's (almost) embarrassing!! But that doesn't stop me from still wanting that Colorbok paper pad from Walmart that someone posted about on another thread, lol!!

Thickers are my #1 weakness. Letter stickers are #2. I am cutting back on my purchases this year and have actually started to USE my precious Thickers and alpha stamps -- surprisingly, it feels good! Who knew?

Stamps, dies and 6x6 paper pads are my biggest weakness. I thought that my Cameo would eliminate the "need" for dies, but that's definitely not the case!

Another sister of a different mister. We must have been separated a birth, right? Or we met at that retreat, you know the one in Seattle in what 2004? Can't remember. We cropped all night long. Yeah it was fun. Got lots done. I am sure your stash looks a lot like mine. I just love looking at mine, forget about using it. It's fun just to organize and put it all back |

Mine is dies. I do get a lot of use out of them but since they tend to be pretty expensive I've cut way back. As long as I stay away from the conventions for a while I'll be okay.

Mine is always mists and inks. Because I can justify them as a multi-use item, I don't feel as bad when I purchase them. I used to be really bad with paper collections, but after purging a lot that I never got around to using, I have become more selective with paper collections and packs and *try* to only get paper I have an event or pictures for.

Paper for sure. Especially 6x6 pads, they're just so pretty and way cheaper than buying all the 12x12 papers!
