How many times do you use your kits?

Oddly enough, sometimes I feel bad when using a kit more than once. Particularly for my PL pages. I doubt that anybody will ever look at my PL 2016 book and then my PL 2019 book and be like "I can't believe she reused this kit" but for some strange reason I feel weird about it.

I re-used 2 kits in my 2018 PL! I agonized over it...spent waaaay too much time making sure I used only pieces I hadn't used before & counting the number of weeks in between uses.
BUT, when I showed my DH the finished product, I was bracing myself for him to ask, "Uh, how much did all of these papers & things cost???" at which point I was going to say, "Well, I used some on more than one page, so I actually saved money!" Haha

That is what I do! I try and make sure I use different cards or different paper. But your husband proves my point I think, nobody would notice if we did!

I tend to reuse kits a LOT. There are very few kits that I consider 'one use'. I won't buy one use kits unless I am scrapping something so important that only that kit will do. Typically, if it is that important then I have enough pictures to do more than one page anyway. I was using a kit the other day and realized I have like 5 layouts scrapped with it. All look very different.

This is what I'm thinking! If there is something super special and unique that only a certain kit will do, and that is all I'll be able to use it for, then fine. But I honestly don't think I've ever even had that happen in my almost 10 years of scrapping! I'd never be able to afford scrapping if I didn't reuse (unless I rejoin 15 CTs lol). When I'm on a scrapping roll, I scrap so much!

I hardly ever re-use a kit because I feel like our designers are constantly releasing amazing new kits and collections that inspire me to want to scrap with that particular kit right NOW! And then the same thing happens the next week. I'm like a cat who gets distracted by shiny new objects!

Exactly this. LOL! It's not good on the PayPal budget, but I have a hard time resisting all the amazing goodies that come out each week!
