I'm guilty of having rubber stamps that I haven't actually used yet. The problem is that I'll buy a bag of stamps at a thrift store, where each stamp is literally just a few cents. I may quickly be able to use one or two of those stamps, but then the rest sit in the drawer, mocking me. So, ease my guilt. What's sitting in your stash that you haven't used yet?

Metal dies. I don't buy many but I forget that I have them since I have the Cameo but I did do some rearranging yesterday and brought them, my meager embossing folders and the Big Shot off the shelf and next to the Cameo so I will use them more I hope!
I also have a MASSIVE amount of clear stamps and go through fits with them too, use a ton for a while then nada for a while so don't feel bad!

Anyone remember when chalking was a thing in scrapbooking?

Anyone remember when chalking was a thing in scrapbooking? Oh, yes! I gave them to my MIL. I prefer ink. I have used my Sew Easy a couple of times, but honestly, I think it's garbage. Can anyone get a straight line AND holes punched at the same time?

I have stamps I have never used. Also some Ali Edwards kits and a few paper collections, but I do have plans to use them.

Anyone remember when chalking was a thing in scrapbooking? I think I used mine a few times when they were all the rage but I can't seem to make myself purge them from my stash. I have a Crop-o-dile Big Bite that's still in the packaging. I have eyelets, enamel dots and stickles I have never used. Of course there are the numerous stamps I just had to have but have never used past stamping in my inventory catalog. I keep telling myself I will use them...someday. (sigh)

Since I haven't done a lot of scrapping in the last 6 years, everything has gone unused. I am definitely a stamp collector though. I just did a big purge and kept my chalks lol

I have a cupboard full of stamp sets, paid a lot more than a few cents each, and many have never seen the light if day or felt the touch of ink!
The rest of my stash gets used in fits and starts. Haven't used any eyelets in awhile. Think I used my Sew Easy ribbon thingy last year. Some dies and punches I use often, but others languish on the shelf. Haven't used my mists in awhile. Might be time to shake some up, clean out some nozzles, and put them to work...

(sigh) I still have mine and use them to subtly change the tone of paper... Like if I want a white based paper to look a little more cream colored, I would lightly apply a little yellow or tan with a brush. I will also use chalk around edges sometimes. It's a softer look than ink which I like.

Anyone remember when chalking was a thing in scrapbooking? I do. I never did it because I hate the feel of chalk on my hands from when I was in school, so I avoided it like the plague. However, when the cat's eye chalk inks came out, I did grab quite a few of them. I like those a bit.

Never used: the making memories large metal grommets, WRMK larger snaps and grommets that came out when the big bite came out. Many stamps. Some embossing folders. Some dies. Some washi has never been open. Some ribbon never used. Oh and I bought some of the extras for my fuse tool that I haven't used yet.

It will be one of the stamps that will be use a lot.

I kept reading thinking, "Me, too. Me, too. Me, too." I have some stamps that have never been used, some dies, some embossing folders, some washi, some acrylic paints, some Dylusions sprays and paints. I use a certain thing, decide it's awesome, buy a bunch more and then a few never get used. Maybe after I'm done LOAD I'll start a few mixed media layouts.

Where do I begin? Albums, papers, stickers, embellishments, chip board, endless stacks of stuff. In fact, I have a dream of actually organizing my scraproom someday in retirement and finding all kinds of cool stuff! It makes me sad to have so much wonderful stuff and not even know where it is or what it is.

some Dylusions sprays and paints oh, me too. totally forgot about them. Maybe I should make a goal to use everything 1x before putting it away just to say everything has been used at least once. Of course, then there would be a ginormous stack of things that takes up space on my desk until I get a large rubbermaid bin to put it in and then that would grow. I wouldn't use any of it because it wasn't in the right spot. OK. current system is best. lol.

Several colors of Heidi Swap color shine that I bought expecting them to be bright but they're actually dark and kinda nasty looking. Also some rubber stamps, metal embellishments, velvet paper, and a huge set of shimmer chalks that are still shrink wrapped.

Oh yeah, reminds me.... A couple years ago, I was driving through another town and spotted a Tuesday Morning. Had to stop in, since I don't have a TM near me. They had embossing folders for 99 cents each, so bought five that I thought I'd use. Well, don't you know it, I still have one NIP. It is a collage of postmarks. I really should try to find a way to use it, at least once.

Many things; I'm a slow scrapper! I recently found the cable thing that connects my laptop to my Cricut so I can use my cutting software! It's been a long time!

Last month I saw the Fuse tool at Tuesday Morning, which made me sad because I still have it unopened from when I bought it at full price more than a year ago. Sigh . . .

This is why we call it a stash I've got some stamps, a few embossing folders, and enough alpha stickers to spell out a novel. Worst though is the Heidi Swapp spray mists. I've played with them and watched videos but it still comes out looking like a dripping mess.

Cricut Expression, 200 cartridges obviously, a Gypsy bought at launch on HSN, Big Kick, Excalibur, there's more but those are a few. I am just not into die cutting apparently.

Three words for you. Project. Life. Cards. I don't even bother anymore these days. If it came from a Becky Higgins kit, it goes straight into a small cardboard box stored in our kitchen cupboard (yes, you read that right, we have one kitchen cupboard ) which we dip into to write down grocery lists. If I fish out a card with no journaling space, it goes straight to the recycle bin. I have lost patience with them. They need to go.

Some stamp sets that have come in kits as I've been experimenting with subscribing with kits. Some metal dies that I haven't used yet.
