I looked at those collections, and they are very pretty, but not the style that I tend to gravitate to when scrapping. It's the kind of style that I hoard because the papers are just pretty.
Like most of you, I need to do more scrapping, and then take more photos to do more scrapping on top of that, and not buy anything additional along the way. But we all know that's not gonna happen.
Though I do think that I did better about what I bought this year - I think my paper purchases were limited to two warehouse boxes. Unfortunately, my scrapping probably did not use up as much paper as I got in those two boxes. I guess I'll try to balance it better again this year.
