Do you buy valentine paper?

I don't usually buy any. I don't usually have photos to scrap and I usually don't make Valentine Cards!  But I'm tempted to buy a few sheets because I really like Echo Park's new collection "Head Over Heals"

and Elle's Studio's "Love You More"!

Do you buy much?

I don't normally buy Valentine's Day papers, but I did last year and made Hubby a "10 Things I Love About You" mini album just because I fell in love with some papers I found. :-)  I love the Head Over Heels collection!  May end up picking some up just because :-)

I usually don't either with the same reasons as yours. But with that said, that paper is CUTE!

i do..but with a house full of girls it tends to lend itself to many other things.....
I used the Elle's "love you more" for my last layout...it wasn't valentines day but lovey stuff so it works
I also love to use hearts on my layouts :)
I used the bo bunny line for a pic of middle dd's twin cat and rabbit..........worked perfect
sometimes its just how you see the theme of the paper :)

That's what I'm thinking about some of these papers in these collections, that they are great for the "everyday"!!!  I love collections like that!!

Yeah not so much Valentine specific, I would also likely gravitate the pretty prints like you have posted, I agree that they are more versatile for other projects and really love the multicoloured hearts print too!  .
I don't really care for the wordy ones something like this:

I buy more than I use, but that can probably be said for lots of my pp's, lol.  But I do scrap Valentine's Day, usually gifts I give my kids or their school parties.  I also use the papers for other themed pages, too.

I buy it. I usually use it on layouts. I'm going to make cards for my grandkids this year.

I never (ever) buy it so I have no stash of it. Thing is, this year I need some. All I need is a sheet or two. I will see what I can find that I like.

I usually don't, but did buy the Fancy Pants offering for Valentines.  It's super cute for DD and her boyfriend, or just pictures of how much I love them without the word "Valentine" on there...

I don't buy Valentine papers or products. I don't do mushy and we don't "do" Valentine's day in our home. Just not my holiday. Image

Yes, I do, but I'm a paper hoarder!!! LOL  I also use it for other than valentines layouts.  I have a dd and 3 neices so I tend to fit it in on the girly layouts!

This is me too. I recently picked up the entire Doodlebug Sweetheart line, as I am a Doodlebug hoarder too Image Plus I love how it mixes brown with the pinks and reds!

Not any more.  When DD was in Elementary school they exchanged cards and I use to dress her up in a Valentine's Day dress and take pictures.  One year I made PINK pancakes for Valentine's Day breakfast.  I used to decorate the house too.  So, one more holiday I won't be celebrating.

Not usually because I'm not a fan of pink, but I had to have every piece of the Cupid's Arrow collection by MME (and I LOVE it).  I'm also getting Black & White from Glitz...I sure hope ACOT gets it!!

I do! I'm a sucker for anything pink and anything with hearts on it - so, basically, everything and anything Valentine's Day related. I use the products on general "love" layouts, not just for Valentine's Day projects.

That line is adorable!
I don't normally purchase things for Valentine's Day projects.
If you like that line...I would buy it and use it as you would everyday papers.
