I may have taken on too many projects at the moment, but thankfully my spending has toned down, and I'm really happy with the balance I've struck with using my supplies. There are tools and techniques that I would love to try out, but I know after the initial newness wears off, dust would settle on those had-to-have items.
If I were to buy everything that I wanted, I wouldn't have the time to really master something before the next shiny object showed up on my doorstep. My head would be all over the place with ideas, overwhelming myself to the point where I wouldn't accomplish anything.
So without a die cutting machine, using the watercolors I want to get better at, and getting more use out of the sewing machine I bought over the summer, I created this layout. It's for the November sketch challenge over at Life.Paper.Scrapbook. Last month, while I wasn't a winner, I was selected as a Top 3 pick for this layout, which was a very pleasant surprise!
Do you keep your supplies to a minimum? What tools can you not live without? Do you have a wishlist?
