I find immense joy in using up my paper scraps because I enjoy the creative process of mixing and matching. If you buy what you love, then it always seems to work in your favor because the items will naturally work well together. Call it design kismet or creative destiny. Whichever term you choose, you will be amazed at what you can create with what you have.
