I hate the price of enamel dots, so I bought some...Liquid Pearls to make my own dots. It was a purchase right before I had scrappers block so they haven't been used yet. If I liked them (and could let them dry, I'm impatient) I was going to get more than 3 colors.

I have tons of stuff on my stash but just this last week I realized that there were several things I just had to have and I haven't really used them I know I will eventually but annoyed that I haven't used them or used the more, three things come to mind - Tim Holtz tiny word phrase stickers, distress oxide inks I have played but not with all the colors, and a felicity Jane aloha stamp set. I know these will all be used and soon but I was chomping at the bit and have gotten sidetracked with other goodies. I think I need to figure out a layout to use all three probably won't happen but I need to use them all soon especially the inks as they are a lot of fun.

If I liked them (and could let them dry, I'm impatient) I was going to get more than 3 colors. This is another item I bought recently and I only have a few colors. I had used two colors but not a few others so I used them on two layouts last weekend. Mine are the Nuvo drops. Easy to use but sometimes waiting for them to dry is a pain. Also adding adhesive in a pain if you make them really small as I make them on a silicone mat and then add them to my layout when dry vs adding the directly to my layout. I found I will make them and then have to leave them dry overnight. Of course I don't always get back to my layouts the next day. I really need need to keep using them as I do love the look. Of course I bought a few packages of enamel dots and I should start using them up to.

I really should add clear stamps, paper pads, delusions sprays (tried them and they were so fun I had to buy a bunch of colors and have only played with them a few times, same with distress oxide inks tried a few loved them and wanted them all, I also have a ton of Cricut carts - I sold a few before we moved but should have sold more. Another one that went nuts with embossing folders at Tuesday morning I have several brands. I do love the look but forget to use them. I have been using the thin dies in my cuttlebug lately and a few stamp sets a Cricut cart or two but usually it's one of the same carts over and over. I really should out myself in a freeze but am a ctmh consultant and buy to make my minimums as I don't really try to sell to others. I like their stuff but I really don't need any more. My goal is to put a dent in my stash this summer which just started today . I think i am getting to the point of use it or loose it like everything else in the house.

I am usually good about using the new things I bring into my stash before I put them away (with the exception of patterned paper) but I have a couple of dies and an embossing folder I bought recently which haven't yet been used.

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. Interesting.....what made you decide to stop using them? I have a bunch and they are nice and neat and never used....don't know why....
