Impressive collection, scrapaddict702, and it's stored so nice and neat.
Are you strictly into scrapping or are you into card making, planners and other paper crafts as well?

yet another 12x12 pad of tropical /beachy paper from Michaels... I've been sort of collecting beach / tropical stuff for the past year because I'm (finally) going to start on the album for the Hawaiian vacation we went on 2 years ago. But now that I've been sorting through my supplies to start making the album, I found out I have something like, 5 pads of 12x12 paper in various color schemes, designs, etc. I think that's probably more than enough... Most of it was purchased at 40% off, at least! But knowing how much I have probably won't stop me from buying more tropical themed paper, if I see more and I like it! I guess having all that tropical paper means we'll just have to go on vacation again, lol!! I really need to stop buying tropical stuff and actually start scrapping. I have multiple tropical trips to scrap and I haven't even printed the photos for any of them yet! I've been collecting stuff for some of these trips for fifteen YEARS. Eeek. It's bad!

You just need to trade with somebody who wants more pink and no red, and you're set!

So here's the thing. When I like something, I REALLY like something and I go all in with it. That's called options! You have lots of options!

LavenderLayout- I love the table. I don't think it's an impulse buy. I saw those tables at my WalMart too and I thought they were really nice. scrapaddict702- I am having enamel dot envy. I love your storage system for them. Last impulse buy was last night. I bought a flamingo overlay. I bought a Perler bead kit. My Perler bead kit is not going to be used for enamel dots. I am using it for original purpose. Did anyone notice that Michael's is clearancing out their foil supplies. Really great prices. I didn't buy anything foil. I hope I helped with impulse buys.

Ack, I should not have opened this thread. I just went and bought that enamel dot deal. I almost did as well yesterday, but luckily got sidetracked and forgot.

scrapaddict702, if I would have seen your collection, I probably would have realized I don't have nearly enough and bought that special yesterday. Quite Impressive.

A MAMBI Be Happy Planner!
Yikes! I only plan to use washi and a few stickers though, No planner stamps, cut up paper, or any subscriptions. I'll be using washi I have on hand.
I love seeing everyone's prettied-up planner, and it was so pretty I bought it with a coupon at HL. If I had not gone down that aisle, it is not something I would have seeked out.

I got the April Studio Calico scrapbook kit for $5 (risk free deal and I fully plan on cancelling so I don't get them later). I really don't "need"'it, but dang it $5 was too good to pass up bc I love the little paintbrushes in the kit and have a great idea for using them! If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can get a free April scrapbook or Documenter kit for just $5 in shipping. You just have to cancel before the May one or you'll be charged full price for that one and others afterwards if you don't. The fine print and code is on their website. I set several reminders on my phone to be sure I cancel with plenty of time

Today at Hobby Lobby. I went in for page protectors and came out with a regular paper pad and a couple of mini paper pads that were 50% off. Impulse buying is VERY rare for me, and these pads are ones I will use immediately for my cruise vacation layouts I am working on.

I was going to be an enabler and share the link to today's Steals.com discount on collection kits, but that one is sold out. Then there's the new Simple Stories Tropical line… I bought two of Beach Therapy packs and the Simple Stories line too. Then I stopped at a LSS in another city and found more of the paper that isn't in the Beach Therapy packs. It is a cruise line that matches it. So pretty.

Some digi supplies even though I haven't digi scrapped for months. It was something that has been on my wish list for a long time and it was on sale but still... I didn't need it.

scrapaddict702, that IS an impressive collection-- I feel quite far behind compared to your stash! I don't go quite that much all out with my supplies, but I still do buy washi tape even though I very rarely ever actually used it on a layout... And I still don't use very many enamel dots, but I kind of do seriously think it's because there aren't very many in a package and I don't want to have colors that don't coordinate. So perhaps getting two of those Peachy Cheap deals will actually help me use them. Do you use enamel dots and washi tape on pretty much every layout, since you have them at the ready? I need to find some good ideas for using enamel dots instead of just as 'sprinkling' them in with embellishment clusters, and I always need to 'remind' myself to use the washi tape. thanks for showing the pic of your collection- it's actually encouraging to me, lol!

I use them as a sprinkling...nothing really out of the box with them, haha. I find that washi is the most easily used as a grounding element on project life cards or photos that I'm embellishing or adding journaling spots to while PLing...so that's when I use washi the most (the only rolls that have been finished in my house have been at the hands of my boys...I give them a roll and they'll make roads all over the living and dining room floor with it which is fine as long as they clean it up when it starts to get loose and ball up in spots). I also use my enamel dots the most in PL. I tend to scrap by kit or collection when doing traditional 12x12 and often forget about things like washi, enamel dots and wood veneer (that's another stash item we shall not discuss, lol), but I shop my stash more when I am making a PL layout which is why I keep things like these in Raskogs nearby. It's funny that they are both essentially accomplishing the same thing and yet I have vastly different approaches to my process...I think it's because I find it easier to embellish and use things up in PL since I'm focusing on one card versus a whole page at once. I will also comment on why I love them so much. I never really liked pearls or rhinestones because they are very feminine...to me, at least. As a mom of 2 boys (my daughter is only 1) and a tomboy myself, I am not drawn to more feminine elements but I love the effect that they give on a layout...especially when I might need to add just a touch of a color somewhere to balance everything out but I might not want to hunt for a sticker or die cut. When enamel dots hit the market, they were the perfect unisex option for me and once I finally got a package in my hot little hands, I was hooked and kept adding to my stash, always worried I would end up running out of my go to and favorite colors.

^^^ good points-- with stickers, you need to think about not only the colors, but also the image, and enamel dots are easier than that. I do a lot of travel photos, and we don't have kids, so rhinestones or pearls don't work for me, either. And I can always add a strip of washi to one of those embellishment clusters as a grounding element, like you suggested. I just need to keep the rolls of tape out and handy with my papers when I'm working on a project. (but that's always risky, because one of our dogs LOVES the taste of the adhesive in those tapes, and has eaten more rolls of it than I can count, lol! He's eaten some of my favorite patterns, too. Good thing he's cute!! )

My impulse buy today was a journaling NIV Bible and just a few stamps and special supplies to get started. Shopped around a little but ended up making an order at Scrapbook dot com and Amazon for the Bible. I want to use it for future projects for my Imagine Crafts AIRs submissions. Want to try out a ton of the wonderful inks and such on the pages. New direction for me! Bonus is that it will get me back to spending more time in devotions.

Do you use enamel dots and washi tape on pretty much every layout, since you have them at the ready? I need to find some good ideas for using enamel dots instead of just as 'sprinkling' them in with embellishment clusters, I know this question wasn't directed to me, but I thought I'd share my thoughts about using enamel dots (I don't have a huge stash, but I do use them a lot). Enamel dots are great for sprinkling in triangles of three in embellishment clusters, true. But they can do so much more. I love to make swirly designs across the page with them. I like to form them into an arrow shape, to have them pointing at a photo or journal box. I like to make dimensional circles by using a circle die-cut or punchie as a template and then circling (but not overlapping). Then I remove the diecut/punchie (that I never adhered, only held in place) The above technique can work with any shape. I like to show the flight path of butterflies, bees, & fairies with enamel dots by trailing them behind the stamped image. They make great flower centers. I like to use two larger dots half on half off the top left or right of a photo, to look like it is holding it to the layout. I pretty much just use dots all over my layouts. Most layouts have more than ten dots on them. i just can't help myself.

I love enamel dots for the same reasons scrapaddict702 does. Another boy mom here who feels weird using rhinestones or pearls on boy pages. Enamel dots are just the thing. I also get irritated when a pack has a lot of pink in it bc I really don't use a lot of pink these days.

LavenderLayoutLady , those are exactly the kinds of different ideas I'm looking for to use more enamel dots on my layout-- thank you so much!! (now I can't wait for my 600 dots to get here, and to get working on some layouts. lol!) ...since my layouts are going to be Hawaii / beach, I could use them for sun rays, wave swirls, etc. And I really like both the circle idea and the 'making it look like they're holding down the photo' idea, too!!! ETA: I have some brightly colored sequins and I bet I could use them for the same sorts of things, too (with the right adhesive, that is).

I grabbed a Cricut Treasure Chest box from Cartridges and More. It was about $40 and it had 8 cartridges I don't have. I don't use my Cricut much outside of my CTMH cartridges, but that worked out to like $5 and some change for each cartridge, so I grabbed it.
