Pizza Box Circle- Question on pg 36

[BernardandMissBianca]

I have a question for you gals. Where does all of your "extra" paper come from? I pretty much only buy the paper I need for a specific project/page. I rarely buy random paper.

Is this paper all full sheets/partials or what? I get the embellishment box but not this one.

You'll get this one too. Don't worry! I used to buy my paper in the packs so I had tons left over. Most of the packs, like the summer one by, I think, Deja View (you know the seasons one from Joanns)had 4 sheets of each paper. And some of it I would never use.
The paper I sent was full sheets.

I'm a paper addict.

I LOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEE paper also which is one of the main reasons I got into scrapbooking in the first place.

I will go to the scrapbook store and look at paper but only buy what I need. Part of the reason why is that paper is so expensive here; 60 cents for a single-sided sheet, 85 cents for double-sided, 65 cents for Bazzill, $1.00 for glitter or even $1.50 for embossed/metallic.

If I bought all the paper I liked, I would be broke!

I do have lots of extra Bazzill but I always use that up.

I have some multi packs that have pages that I would never have a use for (primarily baby/kid stuff), and I always buy Disney paper when JoAnn's have 6 for $1 and since I just sorted it all last night, there are some styles that I have more sheets than I need. Plus, when I bought paper for swap stuff I didn't want to run out, so I ended up with extras. The paper box, I have no problem filling....embellishments a little bit more difficult because I am stingy with my embellishment purchases. I have extra fibers and some ribbon, but not much else. But then I remembered that I bought some Jolee value packs and there is some of that stuff that I don't need (Hanakuh) or I got like 8 of them between the two boxes and I only would use 2 or 3.

Hey Girls -- Just to let you know that the paper box has arrived - Woooo was it heavy ;-) I wasn't quite expecting that much paper ;-) I went through it tonight and pulled out all I wanted - now I just have to put my paper in it and send it off
However -- I am down for the count with bronchitis and a severe throat infection so I won't get the box out quite so quickly as I wanted ;-(
But I will have it out by Friday or Saturday - I may make the husband take it

There was some GREAT paper in their that I LOVED !!! A lot of paper that I have never seen before so that was very exciting!!!

Thanks for hosting and the great paper ;-) although I believe the box may get fuller after I pack all my stuff in there ;-) I am going to have to figure this one out ;-)

Good luck squeezing anymore paper in it.

Add me to the list of paper-aholics. LOL I can't help but buy, buy, buy. I have been much better with only buying what I think I will really use soon but sometimes they are just so pretty I can't help myself or as others have said I don't use all the sheets that I got for a project. I would hate to run out mid project.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I am also a person who buys paper just because it is pretty. I will have lots to stuff inside that box for the next person.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Yeah! I should be getting that paper box early next week!! Be ready JennyL.. I have my paper ready and will finalize it this weekend.. and than I'll have a 2 or 3 day turn around for ya!!!

Woohoo can't wait. I'll try to get mine all ready this weekend too so that I'm ready to pass it on down to Shawna.

I can't resist paper either - especially bargain paper! So I get multi packs and end up with too much pink for someone with all boys around except for one god-daughter and one niece or I get grab bags and end up with something else (pink!) I'm not going to use!

Embellishments - we don't have such a huge choice here unless you go in the internet (and even then....) so i don't get to wander off in my lunch hour and spend a couple of £ on some bargains - all my stuff tends to go on the card so its traceable

ETA: Why don't some of these firms have names like "Embarassing women things" or "Sanitary Unlimited" so DH wouldn't even ask what they were when they appeared on the bill?

 

[maria34a]

I am a paper freak too!!!! I will go in to buy a couple of sheets of paper for a project and come home with 30 sheets!!!! Not sure what my problem is!!!! Just that I love paper!!!! I swear that I will use it too and I never do use it all!!!! I end up giving it away!!!! So this is a great idea!!!! Hopefully I will find some great replacements! Or I will be filling the box even more!!!! It will weigh 20 pounds!!!!! And the mailman will have a hyernia trying to lift it!!!!! It will cost me a small fortune and I will have to remortgage my home to mail it on to the next person!!!!

Hope they appreciate my efforts!!!!

I am the same way with embellishments!!!! I have a problem and this is the first step.... Admitting it!!!!

Hi I'm Jenny and I'm a scrapbooking paper-aholic.

Hi I'm Jenny and I'm a scrapbooking paper-aholic.

Hi Jenny
nice to meet you... When did it all start with you?

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Hi Jenny
nice to meet you... When did it all start with you?

I'm Nancy..and I have become a Paper-aholic.. Let's see.. I first started when I began swaps...had to make sure I had more than enough (don't estimate well being a blonde an all ).. well, than I'd store them.. and store them.. Well, this last time I was shopping for swap I bought just what I thought I would need.. Wow! Can you say cutting it close.. OMG! I had to squeeze every inch out of that paper to get what I wanted done.. I don't think I had a sliver to spare.. Needless to say, I'd rather by too much any day than not enough when I'm on a roll to complete a project!!

 

[jennyL]

Hi Jenny
nice to meet you... When did it all start with you?

Hmm lets see. I'm going with the board. LOL once I found it I keep have grand ideas of things to make so I go out and can't just buy for that one project because so many other papers are soooooo pretty.

 

[RRBB]

I guess you can call me a paperaholic, too. I have tons of it and whenever I see something I like, I buy. The thing is, when it comes to scrapping my pages I'm usually too intimidated to use any pattern so I end up just using solid cardstock. I love the papers just don't have the confidence to put any down with my photos. So here I am with reams and reams of beautiful papers and all they do is sit on my shelves.

 

[MazdaUK]

I do that too! Or I don't want to "waste" special patterns, or things like sticky-backed paper (cos we don't get much over here).

What am I going to do with it if I DON'T scrap with it, I wonder when we cleared out my mum's loft a few years ago I found a box full of stickers ( "Love is...", free stickers, all sorts) which I never stuck on anything because I was worried that I'd throw that thing away and then I wouldn't have my stickers any more

 

[mickey8888]

Can someone please let me know when you do this type of swap again I would love to join in I have several items to contribute. Thanks a bunch.

 

[Julez4u]
