With apologies to bluecrafterperson , who posted about the wonderful service at the site Your Scrapbook Stash, I opened that thread thinking we were going to be questioned about our own little(?) hoard. And, like artisticscrapper , I thought a thread about OUR sb stash might be fun. So I thought I would turn this into a simple game. Here is how it goes: A poster asks one question about your stash. You answer THAT question, and then pose your own. Then the next person can answer then ask. Questions can be as serious or as goofy as you like. Got it? Okay, so here is my question: If you stacked all your papers in a tower, how high would that tower be??? (No need to actually measure: we don't want any injuries while you totter on a ladder) |

(No need to actually measure: we don't want any injuries while you totter on a ladder) Thanks grammadee! I've thought about this because I used to hear people talking about it on PRT w/Noell Hyman. I think mine would be about 4' tall. I have one of those 6 drawer plastic things - but it's not totally full and then besides that I have other random pads on a shelf in a cupboard.
How many markers do you own? |

How many pairs of scissors do you have?I probably have about 25 pairs of scissors- three pairs I use regularly for crafting, a couple pairs of decorative scissors I still use occasionally, and a few pairs for cutting fabric and felt. The rest are just for display-- I started collecting scissors; whenever I see them at an estate sale I buy them to display in a glass jar. my question: Do you still own any eyelets?? (I think I finally donated mine a year or two ago) my stack of SB paper would probably be about 5 feet high... if I added the paper I have just for art journaling (wallpaper, vintage book papers, maps, etc.), that would probably add a couple more feet to it.  I don't have that many markers; probably less than 40, and some of them I've had since I started scrapbooking over 20 years ago. (so probably less than 30 markers that actually still WORK, lol)

I kept thinking I'd find the perfect ones. My paper stack would probably be about 5' tall, plus cardstock another 2'. My question: How many Thickers do you have? |

My paper stack (if you count 6 by 6 pads) is probably around 4 feet tall. Add another 2 feet for cardstock.
I have 2 packs of Thickers... I am not a fan of them since they don't even stick to their own packaging.
My question is: what is the oldest paper in your stash?

It's so pretty that I can't bring myself to use it.
I have maybe 2 feet of paper...not much compared to everyone else.
I have 2 pouches of markers.
Maybe a dozen packages of Thickers.
My question is: how many punches do you have?

The oldest tool I own and still have is probably my bone folder. Bought it from a stamp store in the mid 90s when I started card making.
My question: What now defunct manufacturer are you hoarding supplies from?
mine is Scenic Route!

Last question: What now defunct manufacturer are you hoarding supplies from?
mine is Scenic Route!
Mine isn’t a manufacturer, it’s specialty paper. Mulberry paper and some of the others are so hard to find now. I use mine sparingly.
New question: How many inkpads do you own?
I did a quick count and it’s 46. Dye, pigment, small sets, regular size, etc.

How many inkpads do you own?
I probably own about 40 inkpads total-- mini Distress, full-sized Distress, Stazon, specialty (copper, versamark, gold, etc.), chalk cat's-eyes, etc. How many of them do I actually USE? Probably only the 14-16 mini Distress ones.
My question: what 'oddball' thing do you keep just in case you might use it on a scrapbook layout? My boyfriend smokes cigars, and I have a big (like, gallon ziploc bag big) stash of cigar bands I want to use somehow on a scrapbook layout about his cigar hobby. I also have some fur from our first dog that I kept after she passed away, but I don't know if I'll ever be able to scrapbook about her.

They're my family albums from 2012 through 2016. I have a lot of scrapping still to do! I'm starting to organize my heritage album, so... My question is, what is the date of the oldest photo you've scrapped? |

I got a bunch of copies of photos from my cousin and put together a book for my dad. I included his parents wedding picture from 1925.
Next question: What is the last scrappy thing you purchased and have you used it yet?

The title page for our Alaskan Cruise. I just love how it all came together.
How old were you when you first started scrapbooking?

I was already in my 50's, and my last child was moving away to University. Can't believe all the scrapping you young moms do!
Another question: What is your Go-To item in your stash to finish a page or a card? Do you keep purchasing these supplies to always have enough? Or do you have such a large stash of them that they are already there and ready to play?

Post by coloradocropper on Dec 13, 2017 15:52:49 GMT
Paper.... At least 10ft but that includes all PP, cardstock, and 6 x6 pads
Markers....these don't excite me much so all my markers are old but still work well. 50 at the most
Scissors...30 just because I can't let go of my decorative ones
eyelets...yep still have them and use them occasionally but never for scrapbooking. Usually for something around the house.
thickers...100 most of them bought at Tuesday Morning for $1.99
oldest paper...I remember when my LSS got their first patterned papers into the store around 20 years ago. I remember we were all in awe of these 2 (yep 2) papers. They are still in my stash and I run into them and think it would be fun to use them on a layout about my paper stash paired with a picture of my paper cabinet now.
punches...60 don't buy them much anymore. Just bought 2 at my LSS garage sale and that was good enough. Circle punches are my most used though.
oldest tool...I have some old Making Memories from way back but the one I use the most is the MM's date/month/year stamp with the magnetic base holder
defunct company...So many but the one that stands out is Chatterbox. I used to love it, not so much anymore but for some reason I can't let go of it. I'm using some Rusty Pickle on a layout I'm working on now.
ink pads...have all the distress and oxides plus a bunch of misc. others...100 sounds about right
completed scrapbooks...50. I've completed some for family and given them away. At least 40 in our family library now.
oldest picture...Probably around 1920. It was a picture of my husbands grandfather as a miner. It was used in their company literature.
favorite layout...I did a layout entitled "all about the Lucero's" and paired it with pics of each of us. My 4 kids were small at the time but my journaling on each included the funny things they were saying and doing at the time and also funny habits. I'm sooo happy I wrote that down!
newest purchase...some MAMBI sticker books at Tuesday Morning and some Heidi Swapp number rub ons that I saw Inkie Quill use in a cool way. Hope to play with those today.
last touch to a page...would have to be stitching or splatters
How fun to read all the replies!!!

What item did you have to have and then have decided you hated using it?
I had to have a Cricut and then hated it every time. Sold it and went back to my dies. Much happier.
My question is:
What technique do you know you will never use on your layouts?

never say never, but I don't see myself pulling out the old sewing machine any time soon...

I will never fussy cut a tonne of little bits to back an intricate die cut. I love how it looks; I will just never do it.
what mixed media supplies do you have, and how do you store them?
I have Dylusions sprays in a Dylusions zip up carrying bag. Dylusions paints are in a drawer. I have glitter paste/ sprays / glitter / perfect pearls etc in plastic trays in drawers. I have acrylic paint and texture paste haphazardly stuffed in a wire storage shelf/organizer on my wall by my desk.
New question: How many different kinds of adhesive do you own?

What technique do you know you will never use on your layouts? sewing on a layout with the sewing machine. I see people do it, and I like how it looks; I even have a sewing machine- but I don't want to 'ruin' a layout if I mess up the sewing. The sewing that I do, I do by hand. (but not with the Sew Easy tool- I agree, that thing was a piece of crap!! I had to have it, and ended up selling it at a garage sale.) New question: How many different kinds of adhesive do you own?hmmm- sticky dots sheets, paper flag things (old-school!), ATG gun, glue stick, liquid glue, Fabri-Tac, 3-D foam tape... not that many, really. Less than 10 total. The ATG gun gets used most often, and everything else is for a specialty application. let's see... My question: How often do you actually sit down and scrapbook (per week, or per month), compared to how often you think about scrapbooking?
I probably scrapbook only 5% of the time and THINK about scrapbooking the other 95% of the time; I really only scrapbook a few weekends a year. (I need to have a large block of time to actually be creative, and don't get that much time to myself very often.) I also spend waste a lot of time looking at scrapbooking stuff on the internet. If I didn't do that at all, I could actually BE creative more often. |

If I didn't do that at all, I could actually BE creative more often. I think about it way more than I actually have time to do it, especially lately. Right now thinking is 97-98%. Typically, I’d say I scrapbook around 3 - 5 hours a week. I will start a page and leave it out and work when spare moments strike. Or If I’m tired, I’ll sit and create a digital page while having lunch or in the evening. New question: Do you like making your own embellishments? |

Post by riversong1963 on Dec 14, 2017 1:56:03 GMT
No, I don't use chalks anymore. I never really used them much when they were popular either.
My question is: What crafty things are on your Christmas list?
I asked for the Silhouette Portrait 2 machine. I already have a Cricut Air, which I love, but a Portrait 2 will enable me to cut out my stamped images. I still can't figure that out on my Cricut.
