One in the same. I use a lot of cardmaking embellishments as often as scrapbook embellishments. I like Jolees Boutique stuff too, really makes pages pop. I started out having spent maybe 10.00 to start scrapping, and have 75% of those same supplies still. I had gotten a pair of scissors, a ruler, xacto, adhesive, and paper. I still have everything except the paper and the adhesive still. Of course i have replenished (and then some! LOL) since. Really you can scrap for very little cost. Or you can go all out and really shop too, depends on the scrapper.
