Ok - if you have been scrapbooking more then a few months you can probably join in this (and others can hopefully learn from it)

What was your worst scrapbooking purchase?

[StorkWatcher]

Ha! Good thread. Can't wait to see the responses.

My sister bought most that we share, but I always was getting magazines/books that have layout ideas and How Tos and never use them....... BUt I know several people that use them all the time...

shape punches - I guess I just can't find a way to use them that I like

Have you ever done a thread of the BEST purchase or favorite or can't-live-without tools? If so, I"ll want to read those posts.

[DianeScraps]

Nope, I haven't done a 'best of' that sounds like a good one for tomorrow

For the shape punches try thinking of them in different ways - like a border of teeth but you don't use the 'teeth' that you punched, use the negative.

Or as an accent on a tag

I have several worst purchases like:
---- decorative scissors I own the set - 1 or 2 pairs would have been plenty
---- paper with a border design - just doesn't work for me
---- tooo many stickers

A horribly awful, tacky "kit" to make a baby scrapbook. I barely used anything other than the book itself which I covered with fabric. BLAH.

Oh many many have fallen victum to the evil kits! My question is how do they make the box look so great?
