If you had $250 to spend on scrap supplies what would you buy?!

It's my birthday today (October 8th here in Australia!) and my dad and stepmom sent me a lovely GC to SB.com's shopping area (wasn't that nice?!) so if you had $250 to spend on scrappy supplies what would you get? I am drooling over all the new Prima goodies, and some new paper, but what have you guys seen lately that you must have?

Well Happy Birthday and lucky you!!!!!!!
You can get sooo much with $250!!

I would get some Basic Grey, Prima, Websters pages and load up on Stickles and Smooch!!!

Happy Shopping!!!!!

Smooch? I saw this but what is it exactly...any pages you might show me using it. And I am definately getting some Stickles. I love Stickles and there is no way a girl can have too many bottles of glittery goodness.

Anything Fancypants!

Do you think your Dad would adopt me?

Happy Birthday!!! And congrats on your gift!!!

Have fun ....it sounds like anything you want or have wanted to try - you can now buy guilt free.

Happy Birthday! Whenever I get a GC (or really any time I go shopping) I ALWAYS check out the clearance aisle first! That way, if I find anything I like, I stretch that dollar... But specifically, if you have a new big ticket item you want, Cricut, Wishblade, etc look at those or you could get boxes and boxes of smaller inexpensive things. I think I'd spend it in one shot though to save on shipping. Oh what a happy problem to have! Good luck!

I would buy the below

I would buy a few new tools. A few examples... if you don't already has these...

Wow! that's awesome! I wish I had that much to spend too! LOL!
If there are any big/expensive things that you have wanted/needed, now is the time to get it!
I myself would get lots and lots of Prima! Also, some of the new lines that are out now, Tim Holtz stuff, and probably some punches.
Have fun and be sure to show us what you get!!

Wow!! Lucky you- enjoy!

Let's see.... I didn't actually add this up, but it's a good start.

WOW---best present EVER!!

I would stock up on patterned paper and things that I would normally deem "too expensive" to buy with my own money. I'd probably pick up some Cricut carts too! Have fun and happy birthday!

Hello fellow Down Underer! Are there any specific projects you are working on at the moment that need jazzed up or that you need supplies/ideas for? As you have the money as a gift I would also probably get something special that you could use over and over such as a Cuttlebug, some type of storage/organisation or some punches. That way the gift keeps on giving

Alcohol inks and the new pen you can fill with the inks and some glossy cardstock or acrylic albums or letters to play with the inks.
More Smooch which is pearlized ink and comes in a "nail polish" bottle with a brush....dries fast..LOVE it.
Bling and flowers from Prima
Lots of wonderful patterned paper in all the lines above with embellies to match.
A selection of clear stamps and lots of different colors and types of ink pads.
D-ring albums which I have found are perfect for my "fat" layouts (the ones with lots of flowers and thick embellies).
Border punches and the new ones that also do corners.
Some cool tools I wouldn't normally buy cuz of the cost.
I would try to save some of the money for later cuz there are always new cool things coming out.
Alphabet stickers especially Thickers.


Happy Birthday and what a generous gift. Have a great time shopping.

pink slice and some cards...

I am a big bug lover, so probably new carts for my cricut.

I'd go for bigger ticket items, too. Lately I've been eyeing the Clip-it-up and the Scotch ATG. Then round it out with pp kits from Cosmo and Sassafras Lass.

wow...what a great bday present!!! first on my list would be some of the new basic grey papers and cardstock. next, some tim holtz stuff; been wanting a white signo pen too. and i'd keep in mind what sb.com carries that i cant get with coupons elsewhere. and i would def check out the clearance section. it's do fun to get lots of little goodies too.
happy shopping!!!

Happy Birthday!

I'd try to split it up a bit between tools that will last and goodies that make it all so fun!

Happy Birthday! From just reading down the list of what everyone else wants, I would get a "happy" headache trying to figure out what to get.
Whatever you get you sure will have a ball using it!

Happy Birthday~ I have seen many things listed above that I would suggest so no need to repeat.

What I will say is I would buy things that have a life, not one time use stuff for a good portion of the gift money and then a few frivolous things.

You know you will always need adhesive (an ATG is the way to go), glue dots and cardstock is another staple, If you have a cricut, than maybe some extra blades and mats. If you make cards maybe a scor pal would be handy for you. Like to emboss....maybe a heat gun and powders. Acrylic and rubber stamps are good too.

And look for things you want that you cannot get locally.

Hope these suggestions help.

Happy Birthday! What a fabulous gift to receive--have so much fun picking your goodies out! I LOVE stamps, so I would get a few sets of stamps for sure, some more glimmer mists, some yummy primas, a border punch, and a couple of the pp packs that I have been eyeing. If there are any tools, or more expensive items you have been wanting, this would be a great chance to get something good!

Happy Birthday to you!!!
Well, later this month Basic Grey is coming out with a new line-Nook & Pantry. LOVE it. I would def get that when it comes out. I would also get some punches (boarder punches), adhesive, clear stamps, chalk inks, and flowers!!!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh thanks for all the suggestions guys! Any reccomendations on a colour or two of Smooch you use the most?

Also thanks to those who reccomended the COOL doodling templates...must have a couple of those!

And to Chile Chicken...I am actually an American born girl, but I married a wonderful Aussie boy and we have decided to stay here in Melbourne; I LOVE it here.

GLIMMER MIST and cosmo cricket need I say more..

oh and wow you are lucky to get such an awesome gift Enjoy it

Happy Birthday, to you!!!

Lots of great ideas above, so no need to repeat them!! I hope you have a very happy day!! What a great gift!!

Thanks a BUNCH ladies! I took advice from a lot of you, and bought a lot of resusable goodies...paint, stickles, templates etc. Here is a summary of my haul:

-Bunches of the new Prima...flowers, jeweled butterflies, pearls and blingy goodies. I so adore Prima!

-A couple colours of Glimmer Mist (I wanted Pearl but they were out so I got irridescent gold).

-A few of those COOL doodling templates by Crafter's Workshop. Thank you to MommaSaid for the rec, I am going to have a BALL with those I can tell.

-Some pretty paper from BasicGrey, Cosmo Cricket, Pink Paisley and Bazzill Bling CS.

-Some BasicGrey Stamps.

-Some Distress Stickles...I couldn't resist after reading a review that said they were like "shiny dirt!"

-Some Thickers in various colours and sizes.

I got a few other odds and ends, but WOW what fun I had, and no guilt at all since it was a prezzie. Thanks for helping with all your suggestions. You ladies are all so lovely and helpful.

Wonderful! I'm looking forward to checking in on your gallery and see all the fun you're having!

My favorite Smooch colors are... all of them..no really it is hard to decide but the ones I like the best are Siren (red), Azure (blue) Green Apple Gold lame, Sugarberry (purple) and Taffy (pink). ...

Glad you got lots of wonderful goodies. Happy Birthday and Happy scrapping!

Hehehe, thanks MommaSaid. My gallery is a bit bare here since I have posted most of my work for years at a couple other sites, including scrapjazz...so I am looking forward to filling up this new gallery =D

This is a fun thread! I've loved reading what everyone else would get, and thinking about what I'd get.

I would get a bind it all and some goodies to go with it. I'd get the Eskimo Kisses and Urban Prairie lines from Basic Grey. I might even get another clip it up for storing my clear stamps.

Happy Birthday!!

Iridescent Gold is wayyyyy better than Pearl anyways --it's my favorite Glimmer Mist color!!

I would get some Martha Stewart Punches - especially the Punch Around The Page ones. I would also buy every color of Stickle. And every color of Zing Embossing Powder. Every color of StazOn Ink. Also some Cricut Carts. Lots of paper. Oh! And the pack of all the pretty Martha Stewart Glitters!

As you can see, I have lots of things I want to stock up on!

I love Prima stuff, so I think that would be the first on my must buy list, basic grey papers, stickles, some glimmer mist, umm...I think that is about it, but for sure Prima!

Happy birthday! I'm sure you'll have a great time using all the goodies you bought. I, too, would have bought the primas stuff except I would have added all the embroidered/stitched papers. I have all the smooch colors and my favorite is the pumpkin.

I'd get bazzil by the sheet in colors I love; smooch sounds cool! I've never heard of it, yet...

Happy bithday. I am from Australia too.

I meant Happy Birthday - it must be time for bed - My fingers are working faster than my brain LOL

Whoo-hoo!! Shopping! Happy birthday and lucky you! If I had $250 to spend on scrap supplies, I would load up on PAPER and fulfill the desires lsited in my wishlist! lol Have fun and good shopping! You'll have to update us with what you got!

How about a small or mini airbrush spray system. I've seen one on the tv show Scrapbookmemories on PBS.
With it you can color over just about anything and make our own embellishments and paper designs!

printed paper - can never have enough

I agree with the paper! I need it all!

stickles, stamps and smooch

Wow! Okay, so I'm getting this WAY after the fact but I just wondered what you got! That's the coolest. Hope you had fun and got some awesome stuff for your birthday!

I would get stickles, ink pads, some word stamps, paper, cricut cartridges and adhesive refills

have fun shopping

Primas, Primas and more Primas, a little American Crafts, Websters Pages, Fancy Pants, Cosmo Cricket and a smidgen of October Afternoon

Without knowing how much & what you already have...here are some great tools I have that I use all the time! Happy Shopping!
