I know of others who scrap with one sheet for a layout and the other for their stash. In case they want to use the same paper again. I only buy one sheet of each paper. I figure there will be another trade show (CHA) in about 6 months that I don't need EXTRA patterned paper. I did buy a lot of Chatterbox...but now I am hoarding it instead of using it.
Sometimes I have wished I had extra sheets of the same paper but I can't imagine how big my stash would be if I had done that constantly. I mean holy cow big. Not a good thing.

I am guilty of buying 2 sheets (and sometimes more) of the same paper. If the paper is double sided and I really love both sides I usually buy 2. I also make albums for people so if there's a specific design that I think would look good in more than one album that I'm working on, I will stock up.
All bets are off if I were scrapping for other people. I would need like 3sheets of everything for sure. I don't think anyone would appeciate my scrapbooking though. Even my family asked me where I am going to put "all those layouts and stuff"...yeah so not so supporting at all

Post some of your work in the gallery, you will receive lots of love + support there!
Oh you can't be serious. I have ONE layout posted on line at the veggie site. It is the ugliest layout known to mankind. The paper is pretty. The photo is fine. The talent is lacking. Nope one photo it is. It was my prom photo.

If I like a paper enough to buy it, I buy 2 - especially if it is double sided or one of those cut out papers (the ones with journaling cards or 8x8 pages all together). If I'm making a mini book or a specific project, I'll buy enough of the same 1 or 2 double sided papers to finish it.
Sometimes I will buy more than one of a two sided pp. But not often. Right now I am stuck with MME and Bo Bunny, but I LOVE them! I just don't want to use them. Crazy, I know.

I'm guilty of buying two sheets - because I always do two page layouts and they have to match! When I only have one sheet of patterned paper I don't know what to do! I just posted a layout that I did with only one sheet of pp and I don't think I like it.

I usually buy at least 2, sometimes more if I really like it or if it's for a specific album I'm making multiples of.
I have a ton of pp. Way too much. I usually only buy one sheet per pattern, unless it's double sided and I really love both sides. I buy a lot of paper pads and packs that have multiple sheets.

Yep me too, buy 2 if double sided, and lots of pads that just happen to have dupes. Definitely have too much paper, but keep buying it anyway!
You should definitely post in the gallery, and also, taking part in the challenges is a lot of fun!!

I always buy two sheets, as I usually do double spreads for my albums. If there is a double sided paper and I like both sides I will sometimes buy four, unless I can see me not using whole sheets but can get away with using some of both sides. Then I'll just stick with two. Now if it is a paper I am in love with then I'll usually buy more than two sheets, because I just have to have more of it lol! Plus I figure I may need it again, especially since I have three doggie albums and two grandchildren to scrap.
I used to, but paper is getting so expensive these days. And with all the layering, you can usually stretch one piece of PP over 2 pages. So, unless I plan to use it as a background, I only buy one of each design PP now.

If I really like both sides of the pp, then I'll buy two. Sometimes though, I've used a pp that was bought with a pic in mind and then used it for another...then I wonder if I should've bought two, LOL!
Debbie
I rarely buy two. Only if it is a boy theme paper that I know I will use for each son and I am in love with the colors and patterns. Good boy stuff is hard to find
I too am with Karen on the layering. I do it all the time and don't need 2 sheets anymore. Sometimes if I am doing a layout without cardstock I will buy 2 sheets of patterned paper but not very often. I just can't store it.
I remember I used to belong to Club Scrap and got double paper every month. Crazy. It's true!

I ALWAYS buy 2 of each, but that is because I scrap double page layouts and I need both sides to match.

Same for me, I need to have at least 2 of each. Bo Bunny has me getting 4 many times as both sides are great!!! I am such a paper addict!
Susan
I think I love you! I love Bo Bunny paper. I know there are people out there who don't like it but I love it. I don't get more than 1 sheet per line because I need to use up some of what I have. Trust me I have a lot. I get all the stickers, stamps, flowers etc to match the line. I am a matchy matchy scrapper. What can I say?

If I like both sides of the paper I buy 2 sheets. If the patter is really versatile or i really like it I may buy 4 or more sheets.
