Have you ever bought a kit for just one element?

    If so, which was it?

    Last night, I was on the hunt for tulle... so I picked up this one...

    [​IMG]

    It is a gorgeous kit. I just hadn't looked at it in the right way before. I really really wanted some tulle. :D And now I'm excited because it has so many other wonderful things. I just haven't been buying many girly-type kits lately.

    C'mon and tell me I'm not the only one who has done this.

    Oh yeah... I've definitely done that... Of course in my head I'll justify it by saying I like the colors and I'll probably use the whole kit, but really I just want one little pretty thing! :)

    I have done it that alot :)
    I like it when the designer break them up and sell paper separate from elements. Then they sell it as a kit too :) That is cool when they do that :)

    I know for sure I've done this although it has been a long time.... I don't hoard as many digi supplies as I used too.... ;) That may or may not have something to do with the fact that I've been on TLP CT for eons.... ;)

    You usually see it at weddings and it's usually white but it comes in variety of colors. :)

    Not for an element, but definitely for an alpha before. :)

    hahaha I just realized that in fact I have done this recently. On an even grander scale. I bought a designer's going out of business buy-my-whole-store, just so I could get her date elements. I calculated the reduced cost of the date element packs and that was slightly more than buying her entire store. So I did. Buy the entire store.

    And I downloaded it too! :whistle

    Do you have an immediate response one way or another when you see a new product? Sometimes I see a kit and immediately love the color combination or the feel, or something that speaks to me. Then I rush to buy it. Then I realize as pretty, or interesting as it is...it isn't my style. I can't figure out how to use it. This is what I have been regularly guilty of in the past. Now I look at a new product and think..wow, that's gorgeous, but how will I use it? If I can't imagine a layout of some type in my head, then it's usually a sign to think further before purchasing! Before becoming a Polly I probably bought 10-15 kits to every one layout I completed! Total digiscrap shopaholic!
