A few days ago I was asking for help looking for some help in finding red pp. I realized while looking through my stash that even though I have two sons and only one daughter, I have a stupid amount of pink paper! Not much on the baby/pastel side, but most of the lines I'm attracted to have shades of brighter pinks and aqua/turquoise. Bright orange is right behind those two colors. As far as embellishments, it seems to be pretty much the same. I used to LOVE that deep cranberry red, but I never scrapped with it, and when I realized that I bailed on buying even the stuff I liked because I knew I wouldn't use it. These colors are just easier for me to work with. I don't know why. I know I like them, they seem to go well with a majority of my photos even though I haven't done much work with younger pics of my kids in quite a while. I just like the color combo. I think that's why I was a tiny bit underwhelmed with Shimelle's line...it's awesome, love it, but it's not really anything I don't already have and can't justify buying right now. ( I feel like such a TRAITOR even saying that!  ) What about you? What are the colors that dominate your stash? |

Blues for my son, pinks and aquas for me . Lots of muted, vintage colors that I love, but rarely use because they don't go with my active boy photos

Scrapping lots of boy pictures so plenty of masculine colors. Blue, green, red, and orange.

Definitely pink! I hoard pink everything and thankfully my kids are both girls so pink works! But it's followed closely with blues and greens.

Neutrals (e.g. white, ecru, grey, black), reds, (basketball) orange, & (woodgrain) browns dominate my inventory! I have few navy & purples (both difficult to find) & yellows (my least favorite color, so it never appeals to me).

Red. Most of my supply is Christmas-themed. It's what I scrap the most.

Pink and blue - all shades and varieties of each color. My favorite color is purple but I don't scrap with it a lot. I have a ton of that color too though.

Green and brown are my largest cardstock piles. My pink and blue embellishment bins are the fullest. I guess I don't have one favorite!!

I love blue, any shade of it, I'm in love and I often add in pink. In the past year or so, I've really been drawn to yellow as well. My troublemaker is Green, blah... it's just so hard for me to scrap with, which is funny because I used to love green (as a color) but scrapbooking has really made me fall out of love with it.

I think I am pretty equal in the pinks and blues. I probably have the least amount of yellow and reds.

Green and blue for me too. I wish I had more colors and neutrals (except for pink) . Once in a while, I have made a point of buying yellow. I don't know how it turned out this way. I think I bought too many stacks back in the day.

Blues, greens, and (if I had my druthers) purples. Purples are hard to find.
Mostly I am drawn to aqua papers, sky blue, and light green papers, that kind of thing.

Green, blue and beige/kraft. A few years ago I did some serious down sizing. These were the colors I used the most. I do always make sure I have white black and red card stock on hand.

Aqua/Teal probably makes up half of my stash. I could probably go on a monochromatic binge for a year!

Pink, definitely pink. I do have nice stashes of other colors, but pink rules.

I do a lot of heritage pages and outdoor theme pages for hiking, camping, scouts, etc. Also Fall theme pages. I have lots of brown, green, burgundy, kraft, and blue cardstock and love using the chatterbox rooms papers I hoarded as that was being discontinued. I still love it all these years later.

I'm pretty evenly split between all colors, I shop by event or theme so I pick the colors that will work with the pics I have (or will have) to scrap.
Now, if you asked me what THEME I have an unreasonably crazy amount of it would princess. It seems like I simply cannot pass up any cute princess paper I find! I'm not too worried about it though because right now we're up to our eyeballs in "princess-mania" at our house, and that won't be stopping any time soon. With a Disney cruise to scrap now and another Disney trip on the horizon, I'll be glad I have all that paper hoarded, er, stockpiled!

Shades of green, blue and orange. I have ALWAYS loved those colors, especially in combination in my beach and mountain vacation albums.  NO pinks (Other than HOT pink) or other pastels, if I can help it. |

I have a lot of pink papers in my stash but I think that's because I don't scrap with pink as much as I do other colours. My embellishments are mostly brown/black/grey/white and a bit of red.
