I love brads. I use them on almost every layout. Glad to see some in the new collections. Anyone else glad to see more brads? |

Yep - still a "must have" for me. They just easily fill those little empty looking places on a layout.
I couldn't scrap without brads and Thickers. |

I still use them, but not as much as I once did. I'm pretty sure I went through a long period where every layout had brads. |

After the scrap your stash challenge the other week I got my box of brads out, and I've been using them on pretty much every layout - I don't have any MME enamel dots (they are sooo expensive over here), so I'm using the brads like I've seen those used in videos for the most part, in embellishment clusters or lines  |

I use brads on most of my pages too, I add them as little scattery bits along with gems around my clusters.
The MME ones rock! |

I LOVE brads, but I have a lot of them hoarded now and I'm not too good at using them. I find them so cute and beautiful though; I need to learn more. My favorite brands are ECHO PARK, October Afternoon, and My Mind's Eye. | |

I'm not a fan of brads. I've tried to like them but to no avail. I think i have a hard time with the permanency of them. I just don't get making a hole through the layout. Why not just make them with adhesive on the back? | |

Why not just make them with adhesive on the back?
I agree, I have to admit I am lazy when it comes to brads and would use them more if I could just stick them on the page with adhesive. |

Totally agree :: Amazing idea - if they had adhesive like flair I would use them more. But then again I don't use flair either so maybe not. |

Oh I love brads. I only started using them about 6 months ago, but love them. I have the WRMK piercer, and brad setter tool, and it makes it to easy to use them. No more getting poked by the back of the brads.thumbup2: | |

I'm a big fan of brads, they are so good for filling in little spots that need "something", and after watching the 2peas video on them last week I was inspired to try even more things! The only problem is they can be so expensive in the UK for all the pretty sets that I don't always get them  | |

I had pretty much stopped using Brads which was sad because I have a HUGE collection of them but recently (after doing the 1 Scrap Your Stash prompt) I've started using them a lot again. Hopefully I can use up a lot so that I don't have so many sitting around collecting dust. |

I haven't really used brads all that often in the past, but I think that has more to do with the fact that I had them squirreled away where I couldn't see them easily.
I just overhauled my studio space and placed them in my desk, so I should get a lot more use out of them - I still really like them! | |
