What elements do you find yourself using over and over? I know for me, it's a chunk of ricrac, a paint stroke, and kraft paper.
 
Stitching and templates. There. I said it. I don't like to scrap without a template. And I'm okay with that. ; )

I also have a soft spot for Karah's Splatterific.
 
Plain paper - usually Kaye's Back to Basics. Cute flowers. Templates for me too, I think I forgot how to scrap without them! And relevant doodles. I've been known to spend ages browsing the store if I don't have a relevant doodle! I've got a soft spot for Splatterific too. Hoping there's a new one for April :)
 
my urban grunge ( i use it on almost everypage) its paint with glitters and stuff and stitches
 
oops forgot creases and dirty overlays ( i tend to dirty up and crease papers in kits that are clean looking LOL though i have to specify when i post that i dirtied up the paper ) must have creases
 
I'm with you, Amy, give me some kraft paper, paint and stitches. I also love an alpha for the title work.

This! I looooove kraft paper! It's my fave and paint for behind my clusters and no page is complete without a bit of stitching! :D I also really like scattered elements...like Val's button scatters or little confetti's etc :)
 
I too am in love with kraft paper. I also like scatters, brushes and doodles.
 
Layers of good quality well-textured paper. Rachel's plaids! Tiny buttons. Tiny flowers. Small bead spills. Straight ribbons. Clean stitches (or at least not overly messy stitches). Alphas. (Hmmm...that covers just about everything!)
 
Stitches, doodled borders and I love scatters of super tiny elements. Yum.
 
:idea2 wolff, guess we need some more kraft paper ...

plainish paper, stitching, staples, paint. oh i like journaling tags or little tags to stick random info on, too.
 
I WAY overuse kraft - probably 90% of my pages are a kraft bg. But, I tend to stick with orange and green accents, and I love how they look against kraft.

Other than that - square frames, jewelry tags, straight ribbon. And lately I've liked greenery.
 
Paint! I love paint and stitching..very rarely will I do a page without either of those! I too love some good kraft paper and I am a big fan of buttons as well :)
