Scrapbook Shopping

2ps blog challenge:
Are you the type of scrapper/card maker that buys things to use on items your creating now. Or do you buy with the future project you could be creating?
I buy a little for both. Typically, I'll be looking for an item or two for a current project and stumble across something that looks fun for later. Going to a scrapbook store is out of the way for me (minimum 30 minutes drive each way) so I tend to buy more than I would at a chain craft store - stock up on the "goodies" I don't have easy access to. However, I haven't been scrapbook shopping in several weeks now because my collection of "goodies for later" has left me with plenty to work with. And to maintain a bit of order in my small scrap space, I need to use up a bit of my stash before buying anything else.

  6. I'm a little of both kind of girl too . . . if you don't tend to buy it when you see it, it's often unavailable later on when you decide you should have bought it - LOL

  8. I'm like you...when I'm looking for something in particular for a project, I usually end up with a few more goodies, too! But space is an issue for me, too, and I'm really on a mission to use things up. This is very challenging since I teach at our LSS and am there all the time! :-)

  9. Lately I haven't spent much/any on traditional supplies. I think I have too much stash as it is:) However, digital is my new weakness, and I do hit the digi sales!

  10. You totally sound like me. It is really far to go to a scrapbook store but lots of fun when I actually do go.

    Mostly I just shop at Hobby Lobby. They have some really great stuff and are always adding.

    I definately shop for the future. You should see my stacks of paper and chipboard.LOL
