When you buy paper
Hi Ladies!!
I was organizing my patterned paper and began wondering how many sheets of same pattern do other scrappers usually buy. I tend to buy in increments of two but find I am buying single sheets as of late.
So... when you buy patterned paper how many sheets do you buy ?
Thanks for sharing!!

Re: When you buy paper
Usually just one for me... but I almost never do 2 page LOs and if I bought more than that I think I would never get through my stash!
Re: When you buy paper
When I first started I always bought two, in case I messed up. Now I only buy one and if I mess up, I take it as a challenge to myself to work around it. lol
only exception is if it is a double-sided paper and I love both sides...then I get two.

Re: When you buy paper
I usually buy 2 because I like to do 2 page layouts. Some time I only get one if I know that pattern is just going to be used as an accent.

Re: When you buy paper
I almost always buy 2 at a time. Sometimes if they are two sided, I will want to cut them and flip them over so both sides show on a page. Also, once my mother sees a page I've done, she says, 'oh, I love that paper', so I give her the other sheet

Re: When you buy paper
I only buy two if I can't live without using both sides of a double sided piece. =)

I usually buy just one unless I know that I'm going to make a 2-page or more LO. Then I buy for as many pages as I want to make. If I really LOVE the paper, then I'll buy two - one to use and one to keep, just in case. LOL

Re: When you buy paper
i usually get 2 unless I know I will only need one. If there is a pattern on the back that I will use with the paper I am buying for I will get 3 so that I have 1 for the back pattern.
Re: When you buy paper
Usually just one, but if I really like it sometimes 2.

Re: When you buy paper
Huh. I must be a paper hoarder...I hardly ever buy single sheets! I LOVE stacks. Cuz then I get several sheets of each. But I have 3 girls...and tend to do a lot of matching or coordinating pages plus I like to have extra to do cards or altering projects...
But...if I DO buy "ala carte", I tend to buy just 1. Go figure.

Hello and welcome!
For me it depends what I'm going to use it for and whether it will be a single or double layout (I plan lots of doubles and then do more singles ) When I started scrapping, I always bought 2 but now that I buy a lot of the "specialty" paper that can cost over a dollar a sheet I will buy only one sheet or I'll buy a couple different ones that can be coordinated in case I want to do a double layout.

I'm exactly like this...the only time I buy more than one anymore, is if they have one of those cute edges that I'm such a sucka for! I'll use those papers over and over again!!!

Re: When you buy paper
I usually only buy one. Sometimes two if there's not another one that co-ordinates with it or if it's double sided, or if I think I can get that much use out of it.
Re: When you buy paper
I fI find something that I really like, I'll buy 2 or 4 sheets of it. But like you, lately I've just been buying singles.
Re: When you buy paper
Just one now. That's actually a resolution I made a few months ago because I used to automatically buy two of everything and it only led to a whole lot of leftover paper! Now I only buy one sheet unless I absolutely know I'm going to be doing a two page layout with a certain design.

Re: When you buy paper
anymore i usually buy just one. i use bits of different patterns, usually, when i scrap. so i can get a few pages out of one sheet, kwim? but if it's double sided...or one i am afraid i can't live without, then i buy two. but it's rare.
