If you are like me you have paper packs, collections and kits that you have never even used anything from! This month stop hoarding them and use at least 3 things from one (or more) and share what you make here! grammadee please add this to the master list. |

i definitely need this challenge! i have so many paper pads i've bought cheap at tuesday morning that are just sitting around looking pretty and getting dusty.
i was thinking of maybe doing shimelle's process she outlined in her "the perfect collection" class for true scrap, where you basically just cut up papers randomly, make backgrounds, then add your photos and embellish. that would be perfect for a paper pad/collection that has 2 sheets of everything. i may just do that this month!

This is very new stash, but I DID dig into a kit I received last week in the mail for this page. I can't be accused of hoarding something if I use it right away before it even hits the storage drawer! Used all or parts of several papers, some cs, the wood veneer and flowers...

I could do this every month for the next 3 years and still have unused things.  |

I could do this every month for the next 3 years and still have unused things. totally me. not only because i just don't use enough stuff but because i really like the process of buying and having and getting. i got to shop in an actual B&M store a few days ago and then yesterday spent a ton of time in my scrappy space and my boyfriend was all, "oh i bet you're having fun with your new stuff. i know you like to dig into it." and i crushed him by admitting that no, most of the time i buy stuff, look at it once (if it comes in the mail), and then it sits forever. i have packages of stuff from YEARS ago that i have never even opened, let alone used. but i am definitely using a lot more by doing all these awesome challenges each month  |

I love this. I haven't been on this board in a while and it's been way too long since I have scrapped. I was sitting in my office and looking at my shelf at all my paper pads and thinking I really need to start using them or purging them.

I think I may be doing this challenge a lot! I went to my box of Alison Kreft for Websters Paper box and got out 3 papers. I actually think the smile resin piece was from one of her collections as well, and maybe the blue paperclip arrow as well? I can't remember. But I used old stash on this on purpose  |

I'm back again! I think I'll be here a lot cause I sort of plan to try and make a LO a day with old stash. I lucked out this morning and managed to buy a 12x12 collection pack of Basic Grey Highline on Amazon so I decided I would celebrate by cutting into my stash a bit. I also have planned to do a purple and orange LO for ages, Highline didn't have purple so I had to use a sheet of BG Aurora to get the purple.  |

Love the title and the colours, kiwigirl! I used a lot of old stash on this page, from the one sided HOTP cs to the metal flower/leaf brads.  Sunday Ride two by Gramma Dee, on Flickr |

Both these pages involved digging into kits. The background Prima background pp is from a May kit from last year, I think. I thought it was too pretty to use, but decided it fits with these riding photos quite well! I also pulled a piece of faux leather from my June 2018. This is another think I probably would have held on to forever until it found a perfect home. I decided today that a riding page IS a perfect home for it!
