I pretty much used up a kit - it had papers, 2 sheets of alphas, 2 sheets of diecuts. I've made at least 10 layouts, probably more, from it including 5 tonight. There's 2 8.5x11 papers left, a handful of scraps and diecuts, and partial alphas. I've moved the leftovers into stash and am calling it done.

I am currently struggling with whether to give myself permission to use only the papers I really kind of like out of the freebie 6x6 pad I'm working to vanquish to make cards. It's really a pocket scrapbooking pad. Each piece has cutaparts on the b side, but many of them just don't work for cards. I've picked out a SLoC sketch that yields 9 cards/3 6x6 sheets and there are at least three or four sets of three I really like and maybe one or two more that are ok, but some of the papers are either just plain ugly or somewhat attractive but hard to use. It's ok to cut them into their b side cutaparts, use the ones that work for cards on the cards and recycle the others, right? That would count as using it up? Crazy that this is so hard!!

I don't feel guilty about throwing out the last letters from an alpha sheet because I'm never going to have a use for the random assortment of Q, Z, J's, and whatever other letters I end up with, and I think this is sort of the same. You've used the bits that are useful, it's ok to get rid of the rest.
