I used the last eyelets in TWO little baggies - purple and blue. I long for the day I finish up my eyelets. I don't have a ton but I also never think to reach for them. Well done for get two colours finished. For years I had a giant Ikea jar full of eyelets that I promised myself I would use... and didn't. One day, I chucked the whole jar into the outside garbage bin and never looked back! I hate to think about the $$ spent on all those eyelets, but I never used them, and they were taking up space. I haven't missed them one bit!

Found a way to use SIX 1-10 number sets from ae word phrase sticker sheets… dd took a pic of all her beauty products and setup and I’m numbering the items in the photo and then copying the same number underneath with what the item is. Yes she is obsessed at the moment with skincare so I thought it was a cute way to document something that will change a lot over the years… no need to worry peas items also include her special headband and mirror so it’s not all products! I needed 30 numbers (so 3x10) and found three matching sets to use up (2xwhite, 2xblack, 2xnavy)!

I used up all my Doodlebug Pumpkin Spice 6x6 paper and die cuts doing Sheetload sketches. I also used up most of the colored cardstock and a couple of 12x12s I bought to go with it. I plan to RAK the leftover die cuts and trash the small paper scraps unless I get a sudden bout of inspiration. Here's what's left: Feb share by jo.blackford, on Flickr

fawkes76 -well done! I used up another package of photo squares - that seems to be the only thing I can USE UP consistently. I did use almost all of a sticker sheet recently and 3 brads...not that either made an iota of difference in the stash

It feels "big enough" to share that I've used up a whole sheet of labels. . . but there is no noticeable dent in my stash (Not to mention, the truth is I have another whole sheet of those same labels, lol!)

It’s all progress! I’ve been working on using a few bigger scraps of Doodlebug patterned paper, some random card panels/papers sitting in my drawer, a few die cuts. It’s not big stuff but it’s really satisfying to get little things onto cards so I don’t have to keep track of or think about them any more.

I finished up a pack of Doodlebug tiny enamel hearts. I have several more packs in my stash, but it still felt good to throw out the empty packaging. fawkes76 if you're anything like me it feels like it takes forever to use a full label sheet, so this is definitely a win worth celebrating.

I finished a sheet of label stickers tonight! And I've made good progress on a set of OA labels, with only two left on the sheet, so I hope to report back soon that I've used those as well.

When I recently finished my October Daily, I used this entire sheet of numbers. And not while they're not completely gone, I used up most of these rubons circa 2008. I don't know if I should hold on to these leftovers for one more year or not.

fawkes76 - well done! as for the leftovers - do you see yourself actually using them next year in either an October Daily or on cards or regular scrapbook pages or are you more likely to pass them over again in favour of something newer and shinier? I used up some scraps of PP with Canada designs - they were perfect for a page today. I've been using lots of scraps as well - not that my scrap envelopes show that.

I used the last 4 white star brads on my 2024 title page and I used the last two green felt/wire leaves from ?somewhere? on my most recent layout.

I think the only things I have ever used up have been rolling adhesive and page protectors 😂 oh and pens. hmm and photos (and albums). silhouette blades and mats. my patience if we're getting precise. I don't have a huge stash though so it doesn't stress me out to use one pretty felt heart and keep the rest until the right page opportunity comes along.

pocketaddict - that's the majority of what I use up also today - I used up a 1000-ct photo squares box and a pack of foam squares

I used a Pebbles old twist tie with travel words printed on it, it has to be one of the oldest things in my stash. I still have a few to use up, but I'm so pleased to have finally used one more.

I found a Recollections paper pad that I was gifted probably 10 years ago in my stack of paper pads. It contained some really gorgeous mixed media pages in a tones of brown and green in a distressed grunge style. Totally forgot I had it! It wasn't my style back then, but it is now! Can't want to design with it.

I know there's some value to having good basic patterns on hand all the time, but I got sick of seeing this particular pad in my stash year after year... it wasn't as useful as I had imagined when I bought it and I'd mostly just used the rainbow colored sheets. So I made 40 cards with the leftovers and now it's all gone - every last scrap! Even the picture of the designs on the cover of the pad. So satisfying. http://instagram.com/p/C4JykpbpsMj

I saw that on your insta joblackford and I love the finished cards, your pattern matching is perfect. Well done on using this up!

I had a pile of those little triangular pennant/banner pieces from a Doodlebug die cut pack that I've had forever. I really struggle to use that kind of thing, but I decided they either needed to go on a birthday card now or go into the bin. I managed to fit all 14 of them on one card! woohoo! I'm working on my container of Doodlebug scraps too, and inspired to try and use the rest of the Cream and Sugar die cuts now that I've finally conquered the pennants.

A whole pad of paper? Impressive! It was a partially used one. I didn't count up how many sheets were left but it was a 36 sheet pad so maybe 20 sheets leftover? I do like to use a whole paper pad up though, usually over a couple of weeks it's a marathon, but very satisfying.

I finished off 3 packs of enamel dots while finishing my 2023 DD/JYC. Plus, I used all the stars on a sheet of stars and hearts stickers. That was satisfying.

I got to the end of my DD and took the almost finished sheet of enamel hearts and went back through the album looking for places to add them. It is so satisfying to finish off a pack. Congrats on finishing your album and the enamel dots and stickers!

I opened a ribbon and used most of it - there's enough for one more layout. I'm not a big user of ribbon and this is only one of maybe 3-4 I have.
I also used a stamp I haven't used before and managed to pull some bits and bobs from my colour boxes to use as well.

It's been a very successful two weeks-ish USING stuff!
Last week I pulled out the remains of my old Pinkfresh grab box and made 8 layouts ... there were a couple of papers left afterwards that I integrated into my stash.
My NEW Pinkfresh grab box arrived on Saturday. I've used ALL of the non-Christmas papers on layouts since then...there's a few scraps left and plenty of embellishments but I'm feeling like I got my money's worth from the box - I think I made 11 or so layouts. I'll go back and work on the Christmas papers another time (I haven't printed Dec 2023 yet)
And I've pulled out a collection kit by Paper House and gotten started on my sister's wedding (2017) layouts- made 3 so far.

Enamel dots…a few sheets (even though I still have tons!), pop dots and foam tape! Also, Cocoa Vanilla Studio floral packs. You’d never know that I used up a pack though, because I have several packs, and I mix them together.
