Yeah, I know..... There is no such thing as too much in the scrapping world. But oh man, sometimes there just is. For instance, I have too many Eric Carle stickers. How did this happen, you ask? Well if you insist, I'll explain. It all started when I bought my ds an adorable shirt with a bunch of different illustrations from the Eric Carle books he loves. So he loves the shirt. So I (of course) take a pic of him in the shirt. Naturally, right? And I want to scrap it. But I have to have embellishments for it. Off to Micheal's I go, and four or five bucks later, I have an overpriced pad of Eric Carle stickers. But time goes on, and I'm in the Dollar Tree and what do I see? Eric Carle stickers. Four sheets for a buck! Well, heck, I can't pass that up. And then today comes. I'm scrapping, pouring through my pics, and what do I find? My ds in his favorite shirt. So I pull out the stickers to go with it. I HAVE ELEVENTY BILLION ERIC CARLE STICKERS. I need a grand total of twelve for the layout. Because I did product vomit (I apologize to the p.v. term haters), I was able to squeeze a lot of these stickers on. And that, my friends, is how I came about owning too much. Anyone need a Very Hungry Caterpillar sticker?

I downsized a while ago, so I'd say too much chipboard and stamps because they are rarely used.

I have too much paper with non theme prints, like stripes and dots. I am keeping it because the day will come when I can't get my beloved theme papers and I have to use my other prints.

Never too much. I don't care I need absolutely every thing I have. I don't care what anyone thinks. I'm standing proudly next to my 2 of everything practice. Could become mint in packaging some day

Lol!!! I love your story. DS loves that book! He giggles and giggles over the page with all the food and makes us read that page over and over. One piece of chocolate cake.... Lol! But to answer your question, I have too much cardstock. One of the kits I used to get came with 6-7 pieces and I usually only used 1-2 of the neutrals and used the patterned paper instead. It added up fast. I now have a rainbow of colors, but of course never the perfect color! I've been trying to use a sheet of colored cardstock instead of a neural if I'm just going to cover it all up. I'm also trying to choose a colored base vs using a neutral here & there. At this rate I'll never need to buy cardstock again

Too much? Whaaaa? Nah, you can never have too much scrapbook goodies! But if I had to choose, I'd say PL cards. I have so many that even if I never bought another set or kit, I would still have enough to do the rest of my life.

Eyelets...waaay too many, every color of the rainbow in primary, pastel, bright, muted, metallic, black & white, hearts, trees, stars, candy canes, and so on and so forth. If I put an eyelet on every layout I ever created or will create I would still have too many--ha!

Husband kept saying during our move that I have way too much stuff. I don't think I do. But then again I did fill over 45 totes of stuff just in my craft room. That isn't counting the containers that were already full that didn't go in totes. My craft room is 9 x 11 and over half of it is totes.

Probably too much of everything. I haven't purchased much this year at all because I just don't need anything. I need to just start using up what I have!

Ribbon! I have so much and I hardly ever use it. I'm not sure what to do with it! But I can't get rid of it. I can't get rid of anything - I might need it some day!

There is no such thing as too many stripes and dots! *Looks over at most recent LO that features two dot papers, a stripe, and cardstock* I'm really not a theme kinda girl. Maybe we should trade. I have too much ribbon. I still use ribbon on cards and layouts. However, I use it on about 1 in every 5 projects. I figure if I don't buy any more then I should run out in 2030.

I think your DS would love to play with those stickers! Cute story.
I don't think I have too much of anything although DH wouldn't agree!
