What do you run out of all the time? Or at least more often than other things. I run out of enamel dots. I'm down to one white one, three orange ones, and two lime greens. (So far) I've only bought enamel dots from the Michael's $1.50 bins, because I can't see spending close to $5 on a pack of enamel dots. But even only buying the cheaper kind, I use so many that they are becoming cost-prohibitive. Because I sprinkle the dots ten and twelve to a page. So that gives me, what, like two layouts to a pack of enamel dots? I wish they would make larger packages for more reasonable cost. Like a hundred dots for three bucks. Yes, I own my cheapness.  |

Ideas! Seems I like to do some of the same things over and over. Need to mix it up a bit.  And in the other post I mentioned I had too much of everything so I don't think I really run out of anything right now. |

Adhesives and time! I really love all sorts of adhesive: blue sticky squares, red tape, silicone glue dots, popdots, and perfect paper adhesive liquid glue. I need different types of adhesives for different thicknesses of paper and those darn acrylic embellies need the silicone dots AND liquid glue. Lately, I've been using boatloads of brads for fastening bigger layers so maybe soon I'll be running out of brads.
As I've been using up categories of stash, I haven't been replacing them. Trying my best to stay frozen but it is a serious challenge.
I totally get needing hundreds, if not thousands, of enamel dots. Those little things are crackalackin! I got lots of Chickaniddy enamel dots at TM recently. They are shaped like tiny turquoise and peach colored hearts. ((swoon))

right now, pics to scrap. I have them in my computer, just have not sat down to print or order any in a while. But I am going to Expo next month and need to get that done soon
supplies, I just had a new grandson, and finding that 'right shade' of blue cardstock has been a problem. Need to stock up!

Tape runners and my Xyron "X" adhesive. Maybe I need to throttle back on the amount of adhesive I use on my photos and embellishments...guaranteed those bad boys are not going anywhere when I get done with them!  |

Adhesives and Albums! They are so boring to buy. I usually just have 1 backup of a Xyron X or ATG refill. I need to just suck it up and buy a bunch of the ATG refills online.

Tape runners (I haven't gotten an ATG yet, they seem so HUGE), and enamel dots. I have liquid pearls in my stash to use as dots, but another thread said they don't really harden and can get squished, so....I need lots of enamel dots.

I currently have two large stacks of layouts in page protectors just begging me to put them away. Except, I don't have any album space for them. But albums are expensive. And while albums are necessary, embellishments are so much more fun to buy! The struggle is real. |

Time to scrap? Or maybe my answer should be I don't have enough clean space. I used to keep a layout in progress accessible. I could work on it in 5-10 minutes spurts.
I've let things get overrun, need to fix it!

It seems to change depending on my project  And of course I then run out, buy stock of whatever it is and then end up with tons of extra of THAT and missing something else for the next project <sigh> |

I never have enough herma dotto adhesive. I am always afraid of running out or that they will stop making it. Of course I do love enamel dots  |

Adhesive. My son likes my AtGs and I have 5 loaded and ready for use. I would never get mad at him, but let me know if I have to refill it or reorder!!!

Besides time and motivation, I never have enough albums, adhesive, and brads. I just really love brads. I want them in every color and I always run out.

Time and energy. If I have time I often just don't have the mojo to actually do a page or card lately. I need to get scrapping again. I have too much stuff not to and I do enjoy it when I can get into it.

Uninterrupted time and cleared off space. I've been working on unpacking my studio since the middle of February, and now that most of the scrappy stuff has been unboxed and (semi) sorted life has ramped up considerably and the whole project has more or less come to a screeching halt.  And things keep popping up like Whack-A-Moles any time I manage to get a bit of a reprieve. Like today, DH had an unplanned day off and took DD ATVing which is great, except I have an event coming up this weekend that I'll be working at out of town so I'll spend the whole extra day working on getting stuff ready to take with me for that instead of being able to chip away at my mess. It's always something lately! |

ATG tape! Besides crafting, I use it for my kids' projects as it comes in so handy!

ATG tape! Besides crafting, I use it for my kids' projects as it comes in so handy! Sadly more of my supplies have gone to my sons school projects than scrapping this year. I have been happy to be able to cut letters and have cardstock for mounting pictures or graphs and have the right adhesive. I really am am hoping to spend sone time today with scrap supplies. |

Time and space!
I would love to have more time. I scrapbook in one end of the LR, so I have limited space. I also have too much stuff, hence my frozen status. I want to have more space, so that means less stuff.

Time mostly. I usually have a clear idea of what I have, but I ran out of page protectors a week ago. I take that as as sign that I am being productive  Now I need albums... |
