Confession: I am a craft supplier hoarder. I rationalize it by saying that there are much worse/dangerous things out there. LOL I am feeling the need for some retail therapy this week. So, let's enable each other...share with me your latest or favorite craft supply/project.

I bought some Sakura Pigma Brush pens about a month ago. LOVE them! If you're at all interested in hand lettering or calligraphy, they are super fun.

I finally bought a Wink of Stella glitter brush and I'm hiding it from my kids who will definitely use it all up if I don't.
 
I absolutely adore my Pigma Microns for zentangling, sketching, etc. This set, which includes a brush and a graphic pen, is perfect! Love the way the ink flows. I would love to have an extra set on hand because I'm afraid I'm about to wear these out. LOL On Amazon, this set is about $15. I think if you choose a set without the brush and graphic pens, you can get them for under $10.

Good enabling, Cheryl! I think I need those!! :)

Lorry - tell me more about the glitter pen. What are you using it on?
 
Must not look at this thread, must not look at this thread...

For someone that basically never works with paper anymore, I have WAY too many different colored pens sitting around my craft room. I felt somewhat better because I actually used a few of them on my pocket letter with Jen.

Hahaha! YES, that's why I need more pens too. Pocket Letters!!
 
I LOVE marker pens and coloured pencils. I probably have over 250 markers, 5 sets of pencils & a few microns and Sakura Gellys too! eep! :stash

Not to mention all my stamps and inks...
oh and ribbons and buttons :blush
 
I can make anything on a card (or pocket letter. I wish I'd thought of that LOL but I was working on it with the kids, from whom I am hiding it!) sparkle! It's basically clear but with glitter in it so you just trace over anything, some part of the design on a paper or over some text works well :)
 
My most recent artsy purchases included sharpie brush markers (couldn't justify an $8 per marker price on a Copic marker), gesso (for the art journal I made), 2 single pieces of paper on sale at Michael's for my pocket letter to Lorry....

Before that. Pilot G2 gel roller pens for adding color to my zentangles. They were cheaper than the micron pens, and I love them on regular paper, but not on gesso'd art journal paper....just FYI. Lol.

I do not own any washi tape, but if I'm going to stick with the pocket letters, I feel like I NEED some. I have an entire room of felt, ribbons, stickers, paper, paper kits I purchased ages ago, but no washi tape. I also NEED more embossing powder and ink, more stamps..... more.... more... more.... :P
 
I just bought some cheapo colored pencils (Crayola) for relaxing/coloring. I have a medium set of Prisma pencils for "art" so I can't use those for simple coloring (:giggle). And I bought the Fuse tool. I don't really know why. LOL. I got caught up in another thread and HAD to have it. I guess I will have to sign up to do another pocket letter so I can put it to use.

I've been trying to behave myself with purchases because I literally have a craft room that is so full, I can't craft in it, and I have a full dresser of craft items in the office, plus a closet and some bags/boxes, etc. Insanity. I could probably spend the rest of my life using the supplies I have now. Eek.
 
I have tons of craft stuff and scrapbooking. I was doing well at cleaning it out as digital was going to be my thing. But now there is pocket letters and ATC. So I need to go down and try to save just a little, not too much so I can work in there someday.

I'm watching this because I'm contemplating art journaling in real life, not the digital world.

I bought an art journal at christmas, but it's still empty :( I also bought a copy of 'wreck this journal' which is a little less daunting as it has lots of prompts and not so many blank pages!
 
This thread should be called "enabler of crafty supplies". LOL!
I don't have the Sakura brush pens but they do look tempting.
I adore the set of Micron pens that I have and have a wink of stella set on my wish list.

My craft supply addiction is washi tape. I cannot stop buying it. I must have all the washi. :giggle
 
Uhmm this page says it all....... or most of it, I also love sekura pens, and double sided tape. ( The best invention since sliced bread.
 
I haven't done paper craft for quite a while now but I do indeed still have a room full of craft supplies (i'm feeling better from this thread - I am clearly not the only one!).

I feel justified every time one of my kids needs some paper or ribbon or stamps - at least I tell them they need these things to improve on their projects...
 
I haven't purchased anything lately, but I am taking notes from this thread to fill up my new craft space that I've been working on for a week now :)

We need to see pics! New craft spaces are the BEST!!!
 
I need to google the wreck journal thing. I bought an old book at goodwill, tore out some pages, taped some pages together, and then gesso'd about half the pages. (This pic is pre-gesso)
