OK, This site is costing me TOO much money!!!!!
 

Every time I read all the posts about cool stuff, (ie Ribbon, a new stamp, floor wax, a new idea, something on sale somewhere, etc) I gotta go buy it. Anyone else like this???

Nope I think you are totally alone in this boat!!! LOL
YEAH RIGHT!!! LOL
But I do have to say, that while I have spent a great deal more money, look on the oldest page of my gallery and look on my newest...having the right tools and the proper resources has made a HUGE difference in my stamping!!! :)
Stamping Makes me happy and when I give my creations away it makes someone else happy...so it is ALLL GOOOOOOOOOD! :D

Oh Keri, you took the words right out of my mouth :D I LOVE to buy new stuff, it boosts my creativity. And every so often, when I have stuff I don't use any more I have a sale or give it away. Then I have new $$ for new stuff!

LOL! Get out your charge card babie! I always have mine out when I browse the gallery. I always have a list going of stuff I HAVE to try!

Don't try to fight it! Just give in and join the fun! WhooHOOO!

Well, OK, girls. . . here is another new tool, but at least it's inexpensive. In the April/May Paper Crafts, there is a Fiskars insert. On page nine of said insert, you will see a "texturing tool". It's like 3 styluses (is that a word) in one. You use it with embossing texture plates. I just happened to notice one at Archiver's Thursday and bought it, of course. And there it was in the mag.

Get out your change purse. :lol:

I don't have my paper crafts yet :cry:

Mine just came in the mail this afternoon, so maybe there's still hope for you. 8)

I've had that tool and the texturing plates for a while. It takes a lot of muscle! Your arms gets quite tired if your doing a full card front!

I never succumb to peer (stamper) pressure, ever!! BAWWHAHAHA...

I guess that is why I *didn't* just buy Prismacolor Pencils this morning from Viking! :wink:

Can you see my nose growing just like Pinocchio's?? :P

Me, too! Since that collage challenge back a while ago, I find myself wanting tons of metallic accents - from brads to charms, and more!!

This is SO me too! Things I didn't think I'd ever buy or use... purchased b/c of a sample or thread about it!

:D This site if very addicting!

My wish list is always getting bigger and there isn't a day that goes buy that I don't see some sample on here of brilliance that I have to case onto one of my cards or SB pages :) Good luck in managing your spending.

Today is my birthday, and what better way to spend it than with a bunch of friends at a technique workshop...we did polished stone, and shaving cream. I went with the intention of buying daubers, and staying under $20.00, WELL, Happy Birthday to me, and $60.00 later...now you know the rest of the story...This site and my friends are contributing to my PMS!

happy birthday rebecca......sounds like you had a great day. I NEVER spend any money......yeah right...LOL.....i went to a local stamp store today and bought MORE embossing powder. This time I bought platinum detail......its really nice. And just now i noticed at the top of one of the pages a place to buy paper for a really rather cheap price....40$ later...LOL!! My excuse for now is MY birthday is right around the corner. LOL!! :oops:

Wow... this thread just doesn't sound anything like me... I'm a rock of resistance.


.... can anyone say "Paisley Print"????? :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Oooooh, this site just feeds my insatiable addiction!! :lol: I want things I NEVER wanted before I saw the great cards here! I HATED that paisley background stamp from the 1st time I saw it and now I NEED it! :oops: :shock:

Now there's no telling what will happen when the new catalog is in my hot little hands! :lol:

Re: OK, This site is costing me TOO much money!!!!!
 

I feel that I have to keep up with the "Joneses" so that I can be just as creative as everyone else. :D I'm the same way. Everytime I hear about something new to try, I have to run out and get it. :roll:

lilbear- where are you getting the paper for the good price? Please share!

Boy, can I relate! I NEVER EVEN NOTICED that bg stamp in the catty until I saw some of the samples here, and now I want it, too!

But I have to agree with Keri - the more I see and learn from the talented stampers on SCS about all the great stamps and accessories and then buy and actually use them, the happier I am with the results of my efforts. And as long as my dh doesn't complain about all my purchases (and he's great!!), I guess I can continue hanging around here and feeding my addiction.

I got the texturizing plates about a year ago when I 1st started stamping. I made a card for my Mom who was going to be in a "Silver Sneaker's" marathon. I just used a stylus so when I saw this tool a while ago, I decided to get it. I just haven't tried it yet. Here is a picture of the card I made. You can see the texture on the silver paper (look near the top...the little hearts are the texture). It really added to the card.

Rats, forgot to attach the picture.

Rats, forgot to attach the picture.

forgot picture
 

I can't seem to attach picture. I will try again

I just decided that when it comes to stamping want comes before need! :wink:
