What would you buy with a scrapbook shopping spree?
A very simple question for you today:
If I gave you £65 or $100 to spend on scrapbooking supplies, what would you buy?
Totally guilt-free. You can’t have this money to spend on other things in life: just scrapbooking supplies. Paper or digital. Cardstock or adhesive. Ribbon or die cuts. Pick your poison: what would you buy if that shopping spree was yours for the taking?
…because later this month, it just might be. Somebody here is going to win a $100 shopping spree to Two Peas Not today, and not just by commenting, but by playing along with something fun and crafty.
Keep your eyes peeled for details…everything will be revealed here next week.
So…what’s on your wish list?

Books and papers I think! The trouble with being here in the UK is the shipping would cost as much as the shopping spree!
7 January 2010, 14:53
Oh, I am a tool junkie … I think stamps. Hero Arts stamps, yeah, I love their backgrounds. And stamp material for my Cricut. I like stamps, can you tell? OR some Tim Holts distress inks … or alcohols … yeah, maybe that.
7 January 2010, 14:55
As much Basic Grey & October Afternoon as possible!
7 January 2010, 14:58
Ooh, pretendy shopping! Almost as good as the real thing (and you don’t have to find somewhere to keep it all!) Well, there’d definitely be a doily lace-edge Martha Stewart punch in there, for that is what I currently lust after. And a fair old dollop of Cosmo Cricket goodies, because they’re scrumptious. Some of those new little Basic Grey stamps are highly desirable, and one of the gorgeous Hero Arts distress frame stamps. Oh,oh, and the Bo Bunny Clealry Stamps are fab, might as well chuck some of those in, and.. uh-oh, have probably blown the budget already, so probably should now put my hands up and step away from the basket. :-)
7 January 2010, 15:01
I need a good way to store 12×12 patterned paper-wood file cabinet?
7 January 2010, 15:07
I’d buy kits more than likely. I love having paper, letters, ribbon, and brads that match! I love Basic Grey & BoBunny. :)
7 January 2010, 15:20
Oh fun, can’t wait to see what you’re planning!
7 January 2010, 15:25
I’d get more lovely paper to hoard and to use, some background stamps and “stuff” – all the matching brads, ribbons, fibres and charms that I’m addicted to. I’d better get some storage boxes too!
7 January 2010, 15:26
Hmm… probably something that I’ve been dying to play with but couldn’t quite justify buying – Tim Holtz grungeboard and trinkets, paint, jewels and probably some stamps. That would be fun!
7 January 2010, 15:27
Ooooh…that sounds interesting! I’ve been lusting after the American Crafs Letterbox line for a while now, so I’d probably just buy as much of that as I could!
7 January 2010, 15:38
I would definitively buy something Prima, and a blender for my Promarkers, And some stamps (I’ve become an addict) I’d love to buy more Marta S. Punches and papers… any brand just sweet sweet papers..can’t get enough and my pile just keeps growing!!
7 January 2010, 15:50
Oooh… I would probably buy Paper! It’s really my thing… maybe a few other craft bits, but mostly paper – especially Imaginisce, Cosmo Cricket, Basic Grey and Bella Belleza papers…
Paper to replace the stuff I just used for the Mini Book Tutorial on my blog perhaps!
What are you planning? I can’t wait!
7 January 2010, 15:57
What a fantastic idea.
I think my cart at 2peas might be up that high. lol. Pity that the end of this month may be only slightly too early for some of the goodies I’ve seen being released at CHA-W. But if it were for right now? I’d pick up some 7 gypsies stamps, and some of those MS Crafts punches… probably some prima bling and some of those tulle flowers…can’t wait to hear what the crafty thing is!
7 January 2010, 16:12
Me … I’d invest in some embellishables. Things that I can paint and cover and play with. I have paper and inks, so I’d like something to spark my creativity. If there’s anything left over, then Stamps – one can never have too many stamps.
7 January 2010, 16:15
Papers, papers and more papers!!! and I think stickers and rub-ons… bus mostly paper… love it!
7 January 2010, 16:17
Sounds very interesting!!
7 January 2010, 16:17
Ooh…. I like this game :-)
Bazzill in a range of colours, acrylic paints, and lots of alpha stickers. LOTS of alphas! :-)
7 January 2010, 16:26
I’d buy some pretty papers and journal label die-cuts, stickers & pads(can’t get enough of those!)Would maybe also treat myself to some nice embellishments & thickers :)
7 January 2010, 16:42
I’d buy paper. And maybe a few punches. And more paper. And some alpha stickers. And more paper.
7 January 2010, 16:54
storage for all my stash, that simple and necessary!!!
7 January 2010, 17:06
I’m loving some of the CHA sneaks I’m seeing, so I’d probably go for something new. SC’s Anthologie line, a new 7Gypsies printer tray, all those new Prima flowers!
7 January 2010, 17:29
I could go for some Letterpress papers, inks and plates!
7 January 2010, 17:32
I would buy lots and lots of cardstock of every color and then some. More cardstock please.
7 January 2010, 17:36
My first thought was stamps… I don’t use them that much but I love them! Then of course, I would need lots and lots of ink colors :)
7 January 2010, 17:56
OMG!!! Okay, I would get the pse software, I, so deseperately need to keep with all the fanastic people like yourself. If I already had software then I would rack up on commerical kits at two peas..Shimelle, Jen Marktis, Kate Teague, Sande Krieger, Betsy Tuma there are so many more than I can list
7 January 2010, 19:18
I have a couple 3ring albums in my car there! I’d spend the rest on pretty cardstock that I don’t normally splurge on & embellishments!
7 January 2010, 20:22
Half digital, half not. I’ve gone to the edge of the digital cliff but never jumped. I really wanna do it. Non digital—I’d go with Jenni Bowlin and Little Yellow Bicycle. Digital—I’d need suggestions!
7 January 2010, 20:31
oooh, I’m thinking clear stamps as you can never have too many of those. or maybe some fancy papers.
In any event, I can’t wait to see what crafty plans you have in store for us!!
7 January 2010, 20:37
i need need need to albums and page protectors to house all the pages i’ve made in the last year. WeR is my favorite brand of 3-ring album. after that…thickers, thickers, and more thickers! LOL
7 January 2010, 20:38
paper probably. seems like you can never have too much!
7 January 2010, 21:41
All the letter “e’s” I could find – I always run out! Fun papers, a 12×12 printer, and ribbon that has sticky peel on the back – glue on ribbon is no fun!
7 January 2010, 22:31
I would go crazy with need goods I see coming at CHA! Creative Imaginations has some great stuff, and pretty much guaranteed I’ll want everything Studio Calico has out… I’m just drooling at the thought of a shopping spree! How fun?!
7 January 2010, 22:34
digi kits and CU digi stuff. :) and albums. :)
7 January 2010, 22:38
Hmmmm, well – albums and protectors to be practical, Thickers and Bazzill because I use them the most and a range of digi stash because I’m enjoying digi so much!
7 January 2010, 22:53
One can never have too much patterned paper or Bazzil cardstock. I’d also try to buy up some more Kokuyo adhesive. It’s gone from the US…so sad. And I’d take a class or two.
7 January 2010, 22:56
thickers lots and lots of alphabet thickers!! thats my poison!
7 January 2010, 23:29
oh what could I buy? well what a question huh, I am pretty new to this, so anything would be a great bonus, but I am sure that I could sort something out!
8 January 2010, 00:10
I would buy the whole Letterbox and Blue Skies lines from American Crafts. I haven’t been able to see them at any of the LSS around me.
8 January 2010, 01:38
My dream shopping basket would contain lots of new decorative punches. I have been lusting after your woodgrain stamp for ages so would definitely include one of those and after that…mmm…alphabets. Can’t get enough of them
8 January 2010, 01:47
Ooh:
Some glimmer mists, a WRMK album, some Jenni Bowlin, kraft cardstock and Jillibeans kraft stuff.
8 January 2010, 03:06
I’d probably want lots of thickers & a couple of border punches and use the rest to make myself a bit of a kit. Can’t beat guilt free shopping!
8 January 2010, 03:07
I love surprises!
8 January 2010, 03:55
Deffo all those embellishments that I see in the shops and can’t warrant buying on my budget! Like BG buttons and brads, LOADS of swirls, pearly ones, gemmed ones and rub-ons. Oh, then of course I would have to add to my punches!
All sounds too good to be possible! X
8 January 2010, 04:21
Alphas, bling,stamps,books,glue,7gypsies stickers and maybe paper.Can’t wait to see what’s next!
8 January 2010, 04:55
i would buy tools, tools, tools!
8 January 2010, 06:19
Ooh I would buy a load of Thickers because I used loads up on JYC and i’m totally addicted to them. If I had any money left I’d spend it on new papers, my big love :)
8 January 2010, 06:19
Oh goodie ! For me it would have to some punches, thickers alphas – have never really seen those here in South Africa, lots of paper and just love to have some cute brads
8 January 2010, 06:51
Oooh, it’s so hard to choose. I would definitely need shed loads of thickers and alphas, and then lots of journalling spots, buttons and ribbons. Then I’d round off my collection with papers from Basic Grey, Cosmo Cricket, October Afternoon and some Bazzill Dotted Swiss.
I wish!
8 January 2010, 07:27
ooh I’d buy loads! clear stamps, TONS of october afternoon, a whole shopful of thickers and kits (for when I’m needing a quick fix), and maybe some storage, yes definitely some storage, you can never have too much storage! and glitter… and pink stuff of course, have to have some pink in there LOL xx
8 January 2010, 07:49
Show me the bling baby!! And the thickers and chipboard oh and maybe some bright papers!!
8 January 2010, 08:24
some albums, pure and simple
8 January 2010, 08:32
I’d want to buy one thing that’s totally trendy, and then spend the rest on basics or items like stamps that can be used again and again. Stamps were the first thing that came to mind. Then paper. I’d probably also want to get some of the “older” October Afternoon papers, since I have a hard time finding those locally.
8 January 2010, 10:01
thickers. i love them and can’t justify spending the money on them. £65 worth of thickers. or the odd 3-ring album thrown in
8 January 2010, 11:21
I love idea books and on-line classes, so I’d begin there. The remainder would be spent on adhesives. Lots of adhesives!
8 January 2010, 11:27
I would purchase some storage solutions and some die cuts and possibly some stamps and. . . . the list goes on. LOVE it all!!!
8 January 2010, 12:36
What a prize! Even though internationals would pay shipping it will still be half-price if the stash is free! Of course I have my eye on all the new releases from CHA coming soon but what I really, really need are some more of those gorgeous WRMK albums. I’m changing over from cheap post bound ones to 3 ring WRMK leather binders. Expensive {more so because I have to get them shipped to South Africa} but what is the point of beautiful pages if you can’t show them off in an easy to view album?
8 January 2010, 12:49
My weakness is all embellishments that are travel-related – papers, stickers, chipboard, journaling spots. Love it.
8 January 2010, 13:20
What a fun, fun thing to dream about :))
All things Tim Holtz would be on my wish list and I could truly use some new paper to brighten up my snowy landscape – pinks and yellows and bright blues.
FUN! FUN! FUN!
8 January 2010, 13:41
gosh if i had any unexpected money come to me to spend just on stash it would certainly have to include some thickers as i have used all my collection on this years jyc, then some lovely stamps, lots and lots of cardstock and basic grey papers and finally a class to learn to do digital scrapping if i felt brave enough to do it!!
8 January 2010, 14:28
I would love to buy some new punches along with the new Studio Calico kit!!
8 January 2010, 15:11
Oooh, £65 – would have to buy some digi stuff so that they would last forever, maybe a new book for inspiration, october afternoon (really love it at the mo), bling, and a Martha Stewart Punch. Just wish you could buy time too???
8 January 2010, 15:30
I would love to apply the $100 toward a Siloette cutting tool :)
Or I would equally love to buy tons of Prima flowers, they are so beautiful but quite exspensive. What a fun question.
Catherine
8 January 2010, 17:52
Too many things! £650 would be easy, £65 I’d agonise for hours! I’d be choosing between stamps (I’m addicted recently), so many wonderful papers I want to get my hands on (especially the newest Basic Grey), Martha Stewart punches, and a really nice album – need a new one for this year. Tricky!!
8 January 2010, 18:45
I think I’d put it with some of my own money and buy the Epic 6 with the Letterpress kit. I don’t own a die-cut machine yet and the letterpress capabilities are to die for!
9 January 2010, 02:09
I love Jenni Bowlin and Hambly so I’d have to pick up some of those goodies. However, I do like my tools. I would love to get more Martha Stewart punches but for bigger ticket items, I’d get a Silhouette if I had space. Or maybe a Epic 6. Just so hard to choose. Then there are stamps….oh, it goes on.
9 January 2010, 12:50
lots of thicker esp. glittery ones; K&Co & basic grey papers & matching stuff; and a toe into digital now I have access to Photoshop!
9 January 2010, 16:56
I would buy most of Pink Paislee’s last two lines and the rest in thickers!
9 January 2010, 22:08
I would buy lots of Prima blings and flowers and different types of alphabets in stickers, rubons, pop-up etc. They are so useful!
10 January 2010, 08:45
Gosh… I am loving some tools at the moment…. the Zutter Bind-it-all. and I love Thickers, stamps(!), lotsa stamps cos I love stamp sets.. flowers & punchers!! :D
10 January 2010, 09:23
Paper, paper and more paper. You can do anything with paper!
10 January 2010, 19:29
Lots of paper and adhesive. And an ATC card holder.
11 January 2010, 07:58
Oh oh ~ I’ve been trying to stick to digital but having discovered scrapbooking and making mini albums I’m starting to build a stash from scrap ~ papers, alphabets, stamps, punches, so much…
11 January 2010, 08:03
as much october afternoon, cosmo cricket and thickers as it fits in the cart! lol
11 January 2010, 09:55
I would be getting wood mounted
stamps ;D and atc goodies ^^
11 January 2010, 12:55
Albums. You can never have too many albums. All shapes and sizes. And colours. To keep all the Shimelle class work in !!!
11 January 2010, 13:24
One my wish list would be all things baby related – for the new addition to our family – due in just 6 weeks!!!!!
11 January 2010, 14:57
Papper, Rub-ons, Ribbons, Journaling and many more things.
I love to scrap and make other things pritty!
12 January 2010, 13:12
How cool! It’s gotta be bling, bling and bling – and Prima flowers – and Martha Stewart punches – and did I say bling!!
12 January 2010, 18:31
Hmm … £65?
My first thought was that I would buy a copy of PSE but I’m not sure I’d get that for £65 … I think I prob could :)
If not, it would be some Nestabilities or some Making Memories 3-ring albums ‘cos they are far lusher than the popular AC ones :)
14 January 2010, 10:56
WOw, punches, definitely, pretty paper – Jenny Bowlin, Basic Grey, sparkly things of course. Some Hero Arts stamps, and magic from Jennifer McGuire (is that available too? – just asking….actually I wish I could buy an week with a scrapping star of my choosing!)
14 January 2010, 17:16
Oh how fun! I would buy lots of new papers and embellishments since I haven’t shopped in awhile
15 January 2010, 10:27
paper, paper and more paper (with maybe some journaling cards and thickers thrown in for good measure). Fancy pants, Bo Bunny, Basic Grey, Cosmo Cricket….I could go on…
15 January 2010, 15:04
Motivated by your reasons for scrapbooking; its not so much the pretty paper I want, (although it is without doubt a bonus), energy, inspiration, self-belief and a whole pile of Maya Road Albums and Kraft envelopes are on my Wish List. The thoughts and ideas expressed in your video are beautiful.
26 January 2010, 12:06
ToolS!! And some thickers, pretty papers, embellishments, embossing supplies!! I would be able to replenish my supplies!! Oh what fun that would be!!!
28 January 2010, 11:34
Oh my…I would buy pretty, pretty paper and beautiful ribbon and lace. Oh, and maybe a tool or two.
30 January 2010, 08:26
Some new releases from CHA!!!
30 January 2010, 10:58
I would buy supplies to make the fab “12 tags of Christmas” that Tim Holtz did this year. They were keepsakes!!!
12 February 2010, 16:12
I will buy everything from paper to tools and whatever I can use for my album, cards etc.
15 February 2010, 22:17
THICKERS. I’m obsessed. They’re the best sticker letters ever and alphabet stickers are my guilty pleasure. I’d buy two of every kind (because I always end up needing just one more E and not having it.
That and journaling tags.
8 March 2010, 14:13
Corner Chomper, ribbon, Hero Arts new cling stamps, digital kits, new distress inks, and paper… even though I don’t need any more paper. Oh, and a new Silhouette blade.
1 April 2010, 10:40
Ohh, gosh, anything new, different and exciting in the scrapbook world. It could be anything from Tim Holtz, to some funky zingy fresh scrapbook papers, anything that would make my pages stand out. Ribbons, pretty buttons and details that make people go now were did you get that from?? And a decent cutting board would be nice as well. As mine got pinched!!
9 April 2010, 21:30
Everything from Ranger. OMG distress inks, the new tim holtz dies, paint daubers, and more. I’d be in crafty heaven.
20 June 2010, 23:10
Firstly, Im so excited to have found your website. One of the design team members from one of our scrapbook store here in town always does such amazingly cool things. Last time I was at a crop, I begged her for where she gets her ideas, and she said one is Ali Edwards, and I found this from that. Make any sense?
Anyways, if I was to win any amount of $; I usually try and get things that I normally wouldn’t purchase because of price, etc. (I am unable to work because of a back injury, so $ is usually limited) :(
However, you must know I am totally addicted (in the highest form) to paper. Not very often that I go into any kind of store with paper and not buy some. My craft room really shows that :)
I am from Canada, hello to all you scrappers out there :)
31 December 2019, 09:21
