patterned paper: 20
rub-ons: 7 alpha sets
brads: 72
chipboard shapes: 6
misc embellishments: 2

To The Top
TO THE TOP
.....but it brings up another issue. what about the cardstock I cut into but then change my mind? what about the stuff I try and end up throwing away because I messed it up? I honestly think I should count it. after all we need to give ourselves the opportunity to experiment and possibly fail, right?!?!? so for now that is what I am going to do!
cardstock: 2 pieces
patterned paper: 2 pieces
tags: 3 (messed one up! lol!)
ribbon: 1 piece
chipboard: 3 pieces
alpha stickers: 5
I also used 2 pens. 1 for journaling and another to outline those alpha stickers. guess I should count that I used those also?!?!?
running total:
cardstock: 7 pieces
patterned paper: 5 pieces
chipboard: 14 pieces

Misty's Housewarming card.....
the party is this afternoon but I highly doubt Misty will be checking out my blog in the next 5 hours! lol!! this card uses no new cardstock. that means I didn't start a new sheet, right?? seems like a lot of cardstock but I guess it is kinda cool to know I used a bunch of scraps!ribbon: 1

okay, so another rule.....I am SOOOO not tracking adhesive!! I know I buy too much but so what! we all NEED adhesive. period. end of statement. AND.....since even I am not so anal to count each individual type of embellishment, I am making a catch all for things like that hat pin. afterall......I have had those 6 or more months it isn't like I am going to go on a crazy hat pin tear, right?!?!?
so....running total:

beginning ground rules....
I expect these to be modified to suit my own purposes throughout the year. there will be some inherent issues like the fact that I use brads in 3s but have to buy in 25s?!?! the same thing with chipboard alphabets. sure love those....and I even like to mix and match them so hopefully I can actually REALLY completely use some!!
anyway.......if I CUT into a full piece of cardstock, for the purposes of this accounting I will consider it used. if I use an ALREADY cut piece of cardstock I will not count it (having assumed I counted it when I originally cut into it, right?!?!)
brads and the like will be counted individually as used and bought as accurately as possible. if the freakin' package of buttons says "approximately 63 buttons" I am not going to count them to confirm the number.
ribbon will be counted each time used. I just don't know how to get around this. I considered trying to keep track of it like cardstock.......but how much time would I be wasting trying to figure out whether I had already cut it?!?!?
I haven't decided to count embellishments like a felt flower as felt or a flower. I don't want to be as detailed as knowing what kind of flower it was or what kind of felt it was. perhaps I will start by calling it a felt flower and see how things go?!?!?
stamps and inks will be counted each time used and once when purchased. so see.......I can buy 10 sets of stamps and it will be balanced out by using just 1 set 10 times! lol!! (seriously....that is not my intent but it isn't like I am going to keep tic marks on the bottom of each stamp and ink pad) paint and the like will be counted the same.
anyway......with that......I will update with individual layouts and then keep a running total. this should be VERY interesting......to me.....probably no one else........and that is just fine!
THE HUNT
cardstock: 5 pieces
patterned paper: 3 pieces
chipboard: 10 pieces
buttons: 13
rub-ons: 10
felt flowers: 12
and with that we are started.....I am going to just enjoy this moment......where I have used more than I have purchased! lol!!

let the accounting begin....
the sole purpose of this blog is to help me keep track of supplies purchased and used. I would love to see at the end of the year that I used something close to what I purchased. ACTUALLY.....I would love to see that I USED more than I BOUGHT.....but let's not push it! lol!!
