Most of my stash consists of SEI because the store is not too far away from my home. I frequent their 0.10 and 0.25 bin. So I have used old stuff that is new to me! I have quite a few of their letter stickers with a clear background. They are lighter colors. I have a lot of gray!
My local drug store/craft store/fabric store has really old stuff. They have Making Memories metal embellishments on clearance. They also have those fabric woven labels with adhesive I want to buy.

Today I used some This and That punch outs from 2003 My Mind's Eye. That's pretty old!

I just used some Autumn Leaves rub-ons from 1999 and they went on like butter! Seriously, I think they've improved with age because I remember rub-ons being a lot harder to work with back then.

Eyelets and I even had to pull out the old setter and hammer!

I've been using up brads instead of my enamel dots. I used to LOVE brads and eyelets.

I can't even remember the company that made them, because it was out of the packaging and my mind is drawing a blank, but these WERE old. I used a small vellum envelope with matching buttons, all adhesive backed. I also recently used some Karen Foster stickers that were also practically ancient.

Today I put 3 butterfly charms on a card. There were in sets of 4-6 of different themes, I got them from QVC 10-12 years ago! I try and use up older embellishments on cards, lessens the guilt of owning such a huge stash.

I busted out some Urban Lily rubons for one of the spreads in my PL album. They don't have a date on them but I'd guess they're 10 years old. Surprisingly they went on pretty well with only a couple of small cracks or missing bits which I mostly just angled to places I wouldn't notice it was missing.

Could they be the Stuffed Ups from Sticko/EK Success? I had a ton of them back in the day and possibly some still hanging around today I had even more of the tile's play stickers though, it was a sad day when I used up the last of those . I have not done much scrapping lately but I did drag out and use some of my Sassafras Lass die cut sticker sheets, definitely not the oldest stuff that I have used from my stash but even they are getting some vintage on them now.

Mrs. Grossman design line stickers -- I do not have a clue how old they are, but they are OLD! But they were also perfect, no fuss, no muss for a perfect little touch of gold! I still have some of those! They ARE old! I just came across my entire collection tonight. I needed a shamrock sticker for my planner and just happened to find my old binder full of Mrs. Grossman's stickers circa the late 90's. Glad I hadn't pitched them all! All still sorted by season/occasion/type into baseball card pocket pages just waiting to be used! And the design lines in every color and the "fancy" ones that looked like floral borders, grass, etc. brought back a lot of memories!

I used some white letter stickers that were meant to be colored to match your layout. I love them and am glad I found my stash. They are probably 5 years old. I also used some hemp and bakers twine that is also about that old or older.
I found some paper from 2007 and hope to use that tomorrow as well.

All early Basic Grey (Sophie and Dawson) plus four different Christmas collections (Fruitcake, Dasher, Figgy Pudding and Wassail). So achingly pretty, I'll be crying when I'm down to my last few pieces! At least I like how my pages turned out using them! I found these christmas lines this year in my stash and still love them all.

Well I just grabbed out 2 old chipboard books from a box in the back of the closet. I got them quite awhile ago in M's dollar bins. I'm making a Christmas mini album with them. I also hauled out my Cinch machine that I haven't touched in eons...you could tell by the extremely thick layer of dust covering it. I'm also using some older BoBunny Christmas paper and I'm pretty sure most of my Christmas embellishments have been around for awhile too! I got tired of doing Christmas pages when I was doing my old childhood photos. Seemed like everything was either summer camping trips or Christmas morning! LOL! I guess that's when the camera got pulled out the most. After doing all of those I refused to look at a Christmas page for quite awhile!
