This weekend I used up 7 sheets of Crate Paper Snow Day from 2010. I figured after aging it for 12 years it is probably time to crack into it. I have two more layouts planned with it. I was really hoping to "kill" the collection, but they used to be very generous with the collection packs, so the leftovers might end up going back into the stash.

I've used up 7 pieces of paper from the Simple Stories Faith collection to scrap some mission trip photos. I forgot how lovely this collection is!

Journaling Cards. And its super hard to find them as they aren't "in" but I journal on all my pages! have you looked at printable ones? Linda - I've seen some but most of them are project life type. I just need something decorative that has space in the middle for writing (lines or not). I'll have to search Pinterest more! |

A roll of 1/8 inch black ribbon. I just bought it in January. Using it for photo corners in an album. I'll need to go get more to finish the album.

In the past 2 months I’ve used up 50 card bases & 60 envelopes, 40 5x7 layers, 10 4x6 layers, the remainder of a 6x6 pad & it’s scraps leftover from my 2020 Christmas cards, a package of large brads from my very first Peachy Cheap purchase (?15 years ago), 1 1/2 sheets of rub ons from that same purchase (all but one were in great condition!), one 12x12 page of PP and about 96” of ribbon. I made 50 cards for Cards for Kindness and 10 gift card holders. At least I’m now up to date with my production goals. I now need to clean up the mess I made! Then I’m taking the rest of the month off. Next quarter is electronics. Ugh.

I am seriously impressed by how much of our stashes are getting used. This morning I finished off a pack of Christmas puffy stickers on a non-Christmas page.

This past week or so I used up a big stack of little houses I had stamped and colored a couple of years ago! They're all on cards now instead of taking up space in my binder and making me feel bad, reminding me that this stamp just isn't my style. http://instagram.com/p/CbfjCmLp1d1 |

I’m very impressed that you made use of something not your style…I love how you made them work. |

Last week I finished off a pack of 8.5x11 (dingy) white cardstock by making a bunch of cards. It was a great use of it! I also finished a tape roller.

I had about an 8" piece of a Christmas paper from the Girls Paperie that I finally used on a page tonight, along with several more of my Christmas embellishments. And since I was using scraps to piece together my background I also used a sheet of why did I buy this colour cardstock.

I dug into my stash for my latest page which uses some BG chipboard along with some OA stickers and a scrap of Cosmo Cricket paper.

Have not posted in a while! In March Made 3 3x8 gift albums using up Ali E albums I had bought on sale and everything else from stash - no new purchases. Just spent 2+ weeks making 2 freshman year of college albums for my DD and her best friend who’s birthday is today and the motivation to make. I did buy albums - tried the new citrus twist 6x8s and so pleased! I also bought some paper/embellishments because I wanted some college relevant sayings and colors to match pictures. I pulled from my existing stamps, adhesive, white cardstock, black cardstock and lots of paper and embellishments to create 2 81 page (counting single sides) albums!! Definitely the most productive 30 days ever!
Also created a couple of PL spreads - one using all old basic grey and one using up AE Currently story kit. I do love this thread because it motivates me to use my stuff!

Used up another roll of dollar store washi I use for holding dies down and a big roll of double sided adhesive tape. It's hard to say with my other items because I organize products by theme, not manufacturer.

I actually used up an Everyday Explorers mini book kit this year. It took me a while but I did it!
Now….I still have a, uh, few more to go but finishing one is an accomplishment!

I've been turning WIP unfinished card elements into finished cards at a decent rate, enough that I have retired the container I was using to organize them and now they're mostly filed in my die cut binder. I have a couple of supplies that I'm really close to finishing up and now seeing this thread again is motivating me to get to work so I can celebrate!

I finally finished up my Altenew "free, just pay shipping" 6x6 floral paper pack! I got a bit stuck after it arrived, it was pretty, maybe too pretty. I realized mini slimline cards would make the best use of it and had it on my to-do list since at least January, then this month found the perfect Sheetload sketch for it. Yesterday I cut the last of the sentiments I needed to finish the whole thing off. Somewhere around 46-48 cards made, and I even used the images on the packaging for 2 bonus cards  http://instagram.com/p/Cc-xP18resZ |

awesome cards joblackford - love them! I've finished off three packs of enamel dots and one Xyron X refill. I'm mostly scrapping with scraps at the moment so while I'm using them up (slowly, so slowly), I'm not making much progress everywhere else. |

I finally "killed" my Crate Paper Party Day collection pack from 2012. I took it to a crop this weekend and made one layout with it, realized that I had only one full sheet left in the collection so brought out another birthday photo and made a second layout. There are only small scraps left and almost no embellishments. I was going to recycle it all, but my friend convinced me to keep the scraps. If I was smart I would make a couple of birthday cards with the leftovers and be officially done, although I am pretty tired of it after ten years so recycling the little leftover bits is extremely tempting.

I used up or passed along almost all of a shopping bag of old papers I claimed on Buy Nothing. Most of it ended up in a box for the WV art teacher blemon is collecting for. But I used up what I claimed for myself, finished a good 20 or so cards, and only put half a dozen papers in my stash, all good basics that I can use. Does that still count? I think so! even though I technically added to my stash. |
