used up the last two Queen&Co heart throbs brads - they were so pretty - silvery hearts with swirls or dots - and I had bought them when I was scrapping our Wedding Convalidation album so fitting to use them up on a page about our convalidation anniversary

WOW! Go everyone!
I finished a roll of glue dots (they were almost gone!), a roll of ATG tape, a pack of sparkly snowflakes embellishments, and a pack of rhinestones.

not quite USED UP but...from the 60 sheets of paper in my DD paper pack - I have 7 basic and 5 Christmas specific full sheets left that I'm moving to my stash. I'm making cards with the scraps - 42 so far and more scraps to go but I'm calling this paper pad killed nevertheless

I used up the following making Valentine’s Day cards: - sticker sheet I bought last year - most of a collection pack that I got as a crop gift. All that’s left is the sticker sheet and 3 themed pages that won’t work for my V-Day cards - a two pack of ATG tape - the leftover card bases from Christmas cards - my open pack of black cardstock

I used up a second box of photo squares - 850ct this time. I think those are my favourite things to finish because it's proof positive I'm creating and using my stash (they are not however my favourite thing to buy, lol)

I'm glad to see this thread bumped up to the top because I was just coming to share I've finished a box of adhesive, and just used the last of the Christmas themed wood buttons.

So good, it makes me feel like that was a good purchase. Now if I could just get to using some of the other things in my stash...

Yesterday I finished off a sheet of heart stickers. I also dipped into my pinkfresh stash and made a page.

Used up another adhesive tape, cranked out 8 pages for a bridal shower album using up half of what I bought to make it, using up my stamp cleaner, about to switch to a shammie to eliminate need to replenish cleaner, used up the last of a package of 4x6 photo paper and several random December daily numbers on 5 completed DD pages! This thread is definitely motivating me!

I haven’t used it up, but excited that I’m dipping into some really old Simple Stories (back when it still said “by Memory Works” c. 2009-10) Elementary collection and some old Basic Grey Oxford c. 2011 and getting it on pages instead of in my stash.

I used up my Basic Grey Figgy Pudding collection. That’s been in my stash forever.

I haven’t used anything other thabk adhesive, ink for my photo printer and photo paper up. After attempting to organize my space again I realize I have too much and need to use it up! I may make a kit or two with the goal in mind to use it all up!

I love seeing what everyone is using up - isn't it great to USE our stash!?
I finally used up my 50-ct of black cardstock - didn't even have scraps left. (so since it's a staple, I've bought another pack)
I've been trying to use up my Sept 2019 EP Club kit with the autumn papers and embellishments but it's hanging in there still and I think I'm done with fall photos for the album I'm currently working on. Guess when I'm done, I'll need to dig out some fall pics from another year.

I finished off 2 Crate Paper washi tapes and I am super sad about it! They were from the 2020 collection and I LOVED them.

@sunnycamom - did you use them on layouts? If so, they will always be in your albums to see and admire

I just finished a sheet of alpha stickers! There are only a couple of C's, and the usual Q, J, Z, X's left so I'm calling it done and have tossed what is left. I'm not going to lie, it feels like a major accomplishment!

I've been working here & there on my December pages, and am very happy that I've already used most of the papers from the EP Salutations collection that I was gifted. Right now I have pieces of the cut apart cards left, and the sticker sheet. But once I use them to embellish the pages I'm currently working on, I will have only scraps left.

It's funny, almost twenty years ago, when I first started scrapping, I used to dream of one day having a huge room absolutely packed with every scrapbook supply you could imagine. All perfectly organized. Bottles of Prima flowers all lined up. Measuring my pattern paper in feet. Having ALL of every collection or set available.
And I'm glad that never happened.
Because now the thought of having so much is just completely overwhelming.

Because now the thought of having so much is just completely overwhelming. This is how I feel too. I love looking at the peas rooms or reading about paper stashes that are measured in feet or seeing all the bargains that peas were finding at TM, but as much as they're lovely to look at, I really like having a paper stash where I can easily flip through everything I own, and an embellishment stash that mostly fits on top of my desk. When it comes to creating, owning more is definitely not better for me as it stifles my creativity.

When it comes to creating, owning more is definitely not better for me as it stifles my creativity. I definitely have more of a stash than I once did - and one of the reasons I'm frozen is to whittle it back down to a more managable level. But with that said - I can still reach every single item in my stash while sitting at my desk and I love that! I love how the big pretty rooms LOOK - I still like the aesthetic of little prima bottles lined up in a row, matching furniture, and so on but my compact little corner works so much better for me

Some of us are frozen or chilly while we use up some stash. scrappyrabbit has been killing kits. I'm wondering if it would be motivating to share what we've used up? I'll start - I've used the very last black rhinestone sticker from a package of 40...but I have a second package still unopened. Not a thing, and have no prospects of anything being completely used up. I'm trying though!

I hear you - I've been working all month trying to finish up a kit from Sep 2019...it was mostly used up already and yet,so far in January - I've made 4 1-page layouts, 1 2-pg layouts, and added embellishments to another layouts - all with that kit - and it's still hanging in there.

Not a thing, and have no prospects of anything being completely used up. I'm trying though! I totally get this. I break down a lot of my supplies and store them by colour so I generally have no idea if what I'm using is the last of something. Instead I focus on what feels like an accomplishment to use, so things like enamel dots in a colour that is not really my favourite, or super themed die cuts, or something I know has been in my stash for a while.

Not a thing, and have no prospects of anything being completely used up. I'm trying though! I haven’t exactly used anything “up” and I think that can be quite difficult without losing interest since pieces can linger on, but my goal is to dig in and USE some things that have been in my stash for YEARS. So, even if I’m not totally killing the collections (yet), I am actually using things that have been in my stash for ten years or more, untouched, and it feels great to finally get them on completed layouts. I’m mixing in some newer embellishments along with the old to help supplement where needed. And I still love this product!
