what is the one thing you wish you never bought.

[rvoto]

I wish I never bought all those pre packaged kits at walmart It used to be the only place I coul buy scrap stuff. We had on craft stores in my area now we have 3 I'M in a new world now.

I wish I had never bought any Border Buddies. It was a long time ago, (I think you can still get them though). I never use them and sold some of them at a garage sale. I still think I have a couple, but all they are doing it making my SB bag heavy. LOL

 

[rvoto]

I bought those too. I agree they are stupid! I still have mine somewhere.

I'll probably get flamed (where's a good flaming smilie when you need one? ) for this but...
I wish I hadn't spent money on a Xyron. I got it with a 40 or 50% off coupon but it still hasn't been worth it in my mind.

I would probably choose the kazillion lettering templates I have bought, and never used.

I wish I had saved my money and just invested in Quikkutz and Sizzix from the start!

Thankfully...I was able to sell them at the LSS consignment sale, and they all sold. I am using the money for the new Sizzlets. I can't wait!

The FISKARS letter cutting system -

I still have it burried somewhere - used it twice - HATED IT kept ripping letters - augh - I love my sizzix -

-----------I do love my zyron though - even if I didn't use it much at first I have grown to love it more!

all those circle and oval templates and cutting systems I bought at Wal-Mart thinking they would work. I should have just bought the CM one first thing!

Blade Runner: no one can get that thing to work like they demonstrate it

Border Buddies: what was I thinking - I don't use markers

Letter Stickers: always seem to be wrong color, font or size. I prefer to use FREE FONTS & make it the size & color I need

Plan-A-Page templets: funny, I don't use these, but love the colorblocking templets

DieCuts: bought a lot at the beginning, now I just buy what I need OR use selective stickers OR FREE CLIPART

I'm sure there is more.

It took a while to figure out my style....but it's paper & computer for the most part. A few eyelets, brads & stickers thrown in if JUST right.

Anyone want to buy LOTS of sticker letters, die cuts or templates ???? LOL

I hate my colluzle letter templates. Can't seem to get the hang of them without nicking the heck up of the sides of the letters. I do use the shape templates without any problem, but have problems with the letters. Went to a sizzix instead and use the fiskers letters some too.

The scrapbook kits in a box at Walmart for my two daughters . They are pretty good scrappers and the money I spent on the boxes could have been used for nicer albums ( with page protectors ) and better supplies. I hope to remedy this at Christmas time. My youngest ( soon to be 18 ) loves doing paper peices , so I am planning to get her things so that she can really go to town. By the way ladies she loves the stuff from the fall , and hopes to one day soon participate in a swap with us .

The 12 x 12 kits I got from the "scrapbook store" at Disneyworld. I ended up throwing most of them away because they were so darn ugly.

 

[saturday97]

Tons of printed paper I'll never use! I bought so much when I was just getting into scrapping and then realized that alot of it didn't coordinate with my photos. I'm hoping I can trade them with someone or sell it at a garage sale! And I can realte to the posts about the lettering templates-- I only bought a few but I never used them because I just don't have the patience (or the dexterity) to cut out letters.

 

[ToDisney]

I have to TOTALLY agree with the piece o' garbage Blade Runner... thank goodness WalMart has an awesome return policy!!

I also could do without all the stickers I've bought. I rarely use them. *sigh*

I know you all won't believe this , but I actually like my blade runner .

I like mine too when THEY demonstrate it. It looks like a wonderful tool. And I can think of many ways to use it.

I've tried. But I just CAN'T get it to work.

 

[nicki dahling]

It does require work , and it only works well with a glass mat and really thick templates . But I have tracerkins that this tool is a must have for me. I still have to practice , but I've had it for a while and as long as I stand over my projext , tape down the template to the paper ( and paper to the glass ) and look through the top I do pretty good . But , it is probably the most hated tool in scrapbooking .

I'll probably totally get flamed for this but I regret purchasing the 12 by 12 CM album. I want to scrap about 6 years worth of pictures and the CM album doesn't allow me to scrap out of order so, it really is a waste for me to use.

Also, wish I discovered QVC before I bought a lot of my stuff.

OurDogCisco - You can scrap this way with CM albums . Just don't tape your pages down !

Mine is all the sticker letters. wish I would have jsut bought a sizzix or quickutz (well the didn't have that when I started) also all of these stickers!
I also wish I didn't buy the new CM shapes for their cutters. I don't use them, never will but I had to have them...I love the circles and ovals....
And I wish I didn't buy all my pattern paper. Which of course I keep buying! But times change right now I love the solids, rich colors with just a little accent papers....But could be my mood because when I look at all my paper I love it!

 

[nicki dahling]

Spinning what CM shapes don't you like ? I lkove mine , and I'm about to get some more . If you ever decide to sell them let me know .
