If you had $400 to spend on scrapbooking, what would you buy? Assume you already have both Cricuts and 18 cartridges:).
 
I'd start with the rest of my stampin up list, that would put a big hole in the $400. the rest I'd spend on paper and maybe another express toteII, or not. I might just wander the stores looking for something different.
Okay now that I'm dreaming
 
I think I would spend it on lots of albums. It seems every time I find one I like, I buy them for a couple years and then "POOF" they're no longer around or the color I've been buying is discontinued. So lots of albums to keep me going for several years along with more pages.

Of course, then I would have to buy lots of pretty paper too!
 
I would use it to organize a storage/work area so I would not have to put everything away and drag it back out when I wanted to scrap.
 

I would revamp my scrap space, more albums (that adds up quickly), paper, and a cart or 2 (specifically Pooh)
 
Fun question!!!

I would buy DS an album (poor kid, he's almost 3 and doesn't have one :scared: ), the upper tier to my Clip It Up, some more of the white storage systems, a chunk of my Stampin Up wishlist, Pooh cartridges, the other Princess cartridge.... ok, that's probably more than $400!!! That was fun.
 
Some new toys. The cuttle bug (for embossing) and the dies, the new big crop a dile, one of those "real" light lamps. a few new carts. And whatever odds and ends I might pick up while at the scrap store. oh and most importantly some sort of paper sorter. I :love: my scrap room, but I keep the paper in drawers (one for 12x12 plain, one for 12x12 pattern, one for 8.5 by 11, one for other sizes, one for scraps and one for "theme papers and embellishments" such as Disney and Christmas) The 12x12 plain has to be resorted every week since all the colors get mixed up when I put stuff back in there. it is really annoying.
 
Even though I had a Cricut, I would seriously consider getting a Wishblade/Craft Robo type system. Not so much for fonts now with the Sure Cuts a Lot software (assuming it sticks and doesn't run afoul of ProvoCraft) but to make paper piecing patterns.

Or furniture/organization for the scrap space.

Or negative/slide scanner.
 
I would update my PSE software for digital scrapping, get a bunch of paper and vinyl to use with my Cricuts, and probably a few new Cricut cartridges (like Pooh). Oh yeah, throw in some digital scrapbooking kits, too! If I had any $$ left, I'd use it for buying Shutterfly photo books!
 
I would organize my scrap space and if there was anything left, maybe get a couple of carts for my cricut.
 
Well I would buy cricut carts (I am suffering ;) with George and Mickey and Friends) and ACMoore storage cubes to fill a wall. I am going to break - bend my ban this week at Mikes and ACM on paper. I need black and skin tone for Mickeys and I want those IRIS storage boxes 4.99 to help sort paper and embelishments.
 
I don't have a Cricut, don't plan on getting one, so I would spend it on adhesive and paper for my photo printer. I might also be tempted to get an alpha or two from Quickutz (I only have 16 or 17;). )
 
more organization stuff, I really need to rethink how my room is set up.
 
I would use the money to pay someone to clean my house so I could sneak a few extra hours a week into scrapbooking and card making. then if there was any left over more card stock
 
I would put it toward a SLR digital camera, I have a perfectly good compact digital that's a little over a year old but I want a Canon SLR digital. I would love this camera for our trip to Disney in May but it's not going to happen.
