Anke, your post is hilarious! I felt the same way, I never wanted to cut anything. And I would tell myself, "I'll cut a circle just this once," and I'd glue it down and hate it. Then I'd tear up the whole LO and do it over. I think that the digiscrapping design industry really fosters creativity; there is no overhead for designers (as far as materials, manufacturing, etc.) so they can create literally anything, and since the products aren't consumable, they have to keep coming up with more (and better!) stuff.

When I first started digiscrapping, I thought $7 for a kit? That's pretty expensive! But then you add up what it would be in a brick and mortar store for all that stuff, those kits would run $20! And I thought the same thing at the beginning---that your computer knew how many times you could open the paper file and you would eventually "use it up."

Love it!

Sarah
