In a fit I once used up an entire sheet of fancy 3-d butterfly stickers I just got in a kit on three cards. I kind of regretted it...but they were gorgeous cards and I only have bajillion-eleventy other ways to make butterflies, so I supposed it's ok.  |

No where near used up, but I am using my old bazillion bazzil swatches. I have well over 100 3x3 bazillion swatches from back in the day. I’m using them in my memory planner as tags & other die cut things. Can always find the perfect color. Lol. I’ll probably be sad when they are gone I know someone who has hundreds who could help you out  . Wouldn't want you to be sad.  |

I used some old Prima flowers from the milk bottles on a page tonight, only a gazillion minus 9 to go!

Except for the sheet of color-blocked brown vellum I don't know I'll ever use I have finished the Doodlebug seasons 12x12 paper pack I bought a few years ago - it was 50 sheets of assorted papers so it lasted me a long time! I only have a handful of scraps left  The completist in me is going to figure out a use for that brown vellum now... coffee themed something... |

After swatching my mists recently, I realised how much I still like several of the colours I own. So today, instead of reaching for gold, I pulled out HS Coral and used it on my page, and think it looks much prettier than the gold would have on this page.

That's one of the real benefits of swatching (or playing with) older supplies. |

I love alpha stamps, but can have a tendency to talk myself out of using them by thinking they take too long to use. But this last week I’ve been on a tear with them and I just love the result.

I used up all of my black cardstock a few weeks ago when making baby shower decorations. It has since been replenished, as that is a necessity in my craft room.
I also used up a Freckled Fawn label sticker sheet last night after making a layout for my daughter.

I used up some foam squares, although foam adhesive is something I’ll replace when I run low, but I still have a LOT of squares.

I used three Sassafras stickers this week, and it makes me feel good to use something that is not quite my style any longer in a way that looks like my style now.

My patience. My teenagers used it all up yesterday for me, does that count? Ha!
Otherwise I have used up a vellum sticker sheet from Freckled Fawn. I also dug into my scrap folder for a few layouts and used quite a few sheets, so I am calling that a win. I often forget about my scraps.

... I often forget about my scraps. This prompted me several years ago to get into the habit of perusing scraps (stored in two stackable letter trays - one for solids & another for patterned/specialty) as the first step in selecting papers for a layout. The random mix of colors & patterns in these trays have inspired color schemes & pattern combinations on many layouts over the years. I also toss small scraps in a bowl until it overflows, then I batch stamp/punch/diecut them into circles, stars, labels, tabs, etc. to use on future layouts & store the shapes in a divided Artbin Solutions Box that I consult first when adding basic elements to my layouts. HTH, & best wishes using your scraps in the future... |

and a set of 3 page kits that I got in a destash - they were originally 2 page layouts but what I ended up with were the right-hand pages. I'm quite pleased with myself for adapting them to 8.5x11 from 12x12 and getting photos on and into albums.

I had to excavate this from page 5!
I just used up a pack of SC Color Theory orange/yellow enamel dots! From 2014. Kinda sad, because they were great colors. But now they are in an album - even the “large” dots that are bigger than normal enamel dot packs!

I am trying to use up all the adhesive rollers that are not 3L/Scrapbook Adhesives or Tombow. The stupid Altenew one that you can't buy refills for without a new dispenser is GONE.
...well, really it's still sitting on my desk empty, but I'm not sure why.

I was thinking about this thread yesterday as I glued am old glittered SC chipboard title onto my page. I’m happy to see people are still using and using up some old treasures.

You reminded me of it in one of the Christmas threads when IIRC you said you used up several things. Or did I imagine that? I want to finish using up some things… I’m working on turning a paper pad into a stack of Christmas cards so hopefully I can report that it’s all gone in the next few days. I brought in a bunch of new things that distracted me. |

I brought in a bunch of new things that distracted me. yes, I had just a small pile of Christmas embellishments left after last years DD album so I challenged myself to get them all used up so I could start this year with all new things. I used the last two pieces on a couple of my Dec PL pages. Good luck using up the paper pad, I’m sure you can do it! |

I used a STUDIO CALICO “Handbook” 6x8 Mini album. It’s raw chip board with a 2.5 inch spine which made it perfect for my vacation mini. I also added 3 to 4 packages of page protectors and a pkg of tab sheets that went with the handbook album.
