I can’t create without my EK Success Dot Runner with Repositional Dots!! I’ve used these sine I started in 2000. I recently bought a huge stash of the repositional dots. I hoard these!

I just used a sheet of Basic Grey paper. I don't have any collections left, just a few random papers.

I found a ziploc bag full of Little Yellow Bicycle 'Twig' line. Papers, embellishments, stickers. I love the colours and texture of the paper. I have been using it to make cards the past couple of days, for my stash to have on hand.

If I have an album where I want coordination through out - I reach for my Deluxe Designs templates. With coordinated card stock some pattern papers (I commonly use collections since I don't have a good color eye) I have 8 layouts immediately at hand that stay balanced and that can be manipulated for picture size.

Almost all of my stash is sorted by theme. The old and the new is together. I do prefer ribbon over washi. I still like mini brads too. This last year, I've been using a lot of stickers and it's been fun to find ways to use the big ones.

Told my dgs the paper I was using to scrap him was older than he was! |

I’m always a bit amused when I hear a YouTuber say they’re going to use older supplies and they check the date and it’s 2-3 years old. That’s not old to me. Old to me is 10+ years old. But maybe they add to their stash more often than I do.
I really love a scalloped edge and I have several scallop punches and scissors that I’ve collected over the years and still use them all.

I have Basic Grey, LYB, lots of brads, ribbon, stickers, metal stuff. If I like it, I use it. I do periodically purge stuff.

Still use my Creative Memories corner rounder and punches Yep, my CM corner punch sits on my desk right in front of me along with all my adhesives and foam tape, its is an essential tool for me. I also have it in with the Heidi Swapp distress tool...have to admit it has been an eternity since I have distressed an edge on anything. I still use my portable Fiskars trimmer that I bought forever ago, it comes to all my classes and when I go to my friends house, also still using the same pair of cutterbee scissors that I have had for probably 17 or so years and the no name rolling tote my mum bought me almost 2o years ago still gets used regularly. Most of my stash is a mix of old and new, I still buy old if I see it and I love it and most of my layouts are generally a good mix of both. I am however trying to cut the amount of my stash down by using it and I am actively trying to use up the things that have been sitting the longest without use. Currently I am trying to get through my stash of Sassafras Lass stickers, the 12x12 and 6x12 sheets. |

I’ve seen YouTubers refer to stuff that’s maybe 3 mos old as “stash” and “old.” |

This is one of my irrational pet peeves. I love seeing old stuff being used in ways that makes it feel not old, so if someone has specifically mentioned using old stuff then pull out supplies that are still widely available today I'm a little disappointed. |

My assumption is that when YouTubers refer to "old" supplies, they're informing their audience that they may not be able to purchase that item anymore. I think the intention is to prepare people for disappointment if they can't find whatever caught their eyes.
That said, I've got stuff from the 90's in my stash and I use it. For most things, I have no idea how old they are unless they're from a distinctive period of time, like the Brown Era 😊
