So I was putting items in my bucket and realized..I had WAY more embellishments than paper. Way more.
I'm an embellishment junkie, way can I say 
So what do you fill your cart with...paper or embellishments? Is it an even mix? |

Normally I would say paper, but this time it might be an even mix. I am low on both!! (I know how could that happen!!) but, I'll get back to you on that in about an hour i'm filling my bucket now. |

Paper, always.
I'll probably buy one or two alphas, maybe a sheet of other stickers, an embellishment pack and the rest of my order will be paper.
I do buy a lot of embellishments at the craft shop rather than online though - things like paper flowers, bling, buttons, brads and ribbon, I tend to buy the shop's own brand rather than the more expensive scrapbooking manufacturer's version. I can usually get a match and it leaves me more money for paper |

Normally it is paper but this last order I would say was an even mix. I have more paper than I will ever use so I am trying to stock up on embellishments these days.

I used to mostly do paper, becuase it's more economical. But recently I'm doing a pretty even mix, and I'm loving all the fun pre-made and dimensional embellishments! |

My purchasing has been a little lopsided lately,too. So many cute embellishments and goodies out right now! I need to even it out a little and order a few more papers so I can use up all the delicious embellishments I seem to have overindulged in,lol! |

It always used to be paper and I still buy plenty of pp but lately I've been getting more embellishments. A lot of the layouts I've been pinning/bookmarking have been inspiring me to branch out and try new things vs. keeping very simple. Loving all the new options and fun things I have to play with! |

Definitely paper for me. I love a good embellishment or sticker too but if push comes to shove I always go for the paper. |

Paper! I am deffinately into paper, especially those sheets you can cut out images and use them as embellishments. I have a harder time mixing and matching my embellies so I choose mostly paper cause I get more for my money that way |

Paper for me for sure. But I've been really trying to balance it more recently with embellies. I think the embellies are just harder to get a feel for online vs in person. But at my LSS, they often don't stock the embellies that go with a line  Like, I've never seen the Glitz rhinestones (the giant ones) in person, but I've added them to my cart, and hope they look good |

Paper. Embellishments are more expensive. With paper, I get the pretty without all the cost. |

Embellishments mostly!
I think it's because I have about an inch of paper that I want to blow thru this winter. When I'm done with that then I'll start considering buying more paper.
But embellishments often inspire me to add more and more paper ( to go with the colors on the embellishment, so I'm very happy, because I want to use the paper I've got!
My only "resolution" this year was to use my paper stash. I'm doing a pretty good job of it too. |

Paper, but I put some collections that had stickers in there too. To ever have enough to make it worthwhile for me, I would have to probably throw some tools in to. |

I usually have more paper, but I've realized recently that my embellishment selection is getting very small, so I've been trying to expand. My latest order has 5 embellishment items (one of which is a 3 pack of washi) and 19 pieces of pp. That's a lot more balanced than it usually is! | |

For me, paper. I'm a moderate embellisher so I don't need huge gobs of embellishments and often those I favour come in packs of many (ie. buttons, wood veneers, pins, etc.) so I don't need to refill them as often. It's harder to find the nicer paper lines over here so it's more convenient for me to buy paper from 2Peas. | |

Most times paper and then I don't have any embellies... I really need to learn to make them myself with all this paper I have. | |

I can't afford to fill my scrapping bucket here at 2peas - the shipping costs to Australian are crazy! .. It's way more for shipping here than any other online US scrap store.
I shop locally and get the same items at good prices and usually with free shipping. |
Hooroo! & Happy Scrapping !!

Paper, paper, and more paper. I'm a patterned paper fanatic, besides, I can't afford too many embellishments. I do well enough with my paper. |

I try to make it a pretty even mix. It doesn't do me much good to have one without the other.
However, at this point I could probably order nothing but embellishments for the rest of the year. I highly doubt I would run out of paper. | |

Paper, definitely.
I love stamps, so they may be tied with embellies on some orders. Not too many of each of these. |
