how much do you spend on scrapbooking each month?

I do zip zero nada NO scrapbooking, but don't even ask what I spend on those neat supplies. My favorites are pens of course, especially the glitter gel pens in rainbow colors. The other favorite things are all the repositionable glue sticks and double-sided tape and that sort of thing. Oh, did I mention markers?! They have of coming and going with those supplies don't they? Sam's Club has a lot of that stuff this year, but we are fortunate enough to have a BigLots store near us. We've been shopping that store since it was MacFrugals. anybody remember that?

I love scrapbooking, I got involved in this about four or five years ago . At first I was spending a fortune trying to buy what they had in the stores until I realized that I had different things around the house that I was throwing away that I could use and would look just as nice in a scrapbook and would cost me nothing .

My sister gave one of my little one's a doll that came with a big key on it, the children didn't want the key so I scooped it for my scrapbooking . I am sure for something like this I would have easily paid ten dollars for in the store . I love all the embellishments but they are so expensive in our area as there is only one store that you can buy anything like that at .

I have gotten most of my scrapbooking stuff as gifts. My sister scrapbooks and got me started last Christmas. I really want the alphabet punches. I will have to add those to my Christmas list because I have had such a hard time coming up with stuff that I want this year.
My favorite thing to buy is paper. I love the fact that you can buy the sheets individually in all kinds of designs and colors. I already picked out some pens and punches for my stocking. I really need to start scrapbooking again. I keep meaning to get my stuff out, but my daughter is in to everything and my papers would end up shredded and written all over! Before she was mobile I would sit on the dining room floor and do it, but that is not an option now! We haven't replaced our dining room table since Hurricane Katrina. I am thinking that maybe we will with tax money this year.

I think scrapbooking is only for girls. But I know that some schools give this as project to their students. I don't do this.

I spend about $20-30. Have they dropped in price? the local scrapping stores in my country still sell pricey branded stuff from fontwerks, heidi swapps, my mind's eye and making memories, just to name a few 'international brands'.

my favorite things to buy are probably patterned paper cos they form the backbone of a layout, and can be cut up to little pieces to be used in various layouts.:)

i also like stamps cos they can be used over and over again. my best investment to date seems to be a set of clear alpha stamps.

I dont spend as much time scrapbooking as I would like to or need to, I'm behind on my pictures right now. I need to get signed up for a crop here locally so that I can get caught up

When I first starting scrapbooking and really started building up my supplies, I could easily drop $100-200 a month. Now, that I have tons of stuff, I am really more fruggle with what I buy. I am trying to use up the supplies I have before I go out and get more. So now I end up spending anywhere from $0-20 a month and usually just on things like adhesive. Although I now have a whole room for stuff (I used to have a corner in the livingroom), it's already full. I go through phazes of things I like to buy - it's been paper, stickers, buttons, metal embellishments, flowers.

Without buying a new album, i tend to spend about 20 or so a month and that is mostly on printing my photos. I have a ton of papers and stickers and things like that that I dont have t obuy them each month.

I really don't know but I have spent alot including buying the cricut now...hope to be able to add to the collection of cartridges. But I know one thing...I have alot of bucks tied up it in! LOL
