Thanks fawkes76KikiPea - well done. I also find it hard to say I've used something up because I tend to intermingle stuff and not keep it in its packaging, That said -I've used up a wedding collection kit - only a few scraps left (and part of a sticker sheet). AND I've used all I plan to use from a wedding journalling card set so will be donating or RAKing the rest

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. You've been super productive, congrats on using so much up!

That's amazing! I saw you had been powering through the Pinkfresh new and old! Such a good feeling to make a dent in something new, but using up most of the old leftovers too - really great feeling.

When I was making cards this month for the spring exchange, I dug deep into my stash. I used some SU pp that had been hanging around for a year to make the month's Sheetload of Cards and when I was searching for focal images, decided to fussy cut up another sheet or two from the same pack!
Then for the remaining 9 cards, I used papers from a Spellbinders card kit I bought to see what they're like as well as a die-cut pack from somewhere and a few other bits and bobs.

The best thing--I used up the very last of my Tombow solid adhesive. I've switched to Scrapbook.com's dotted refill and I love it so much more.

I used up all the remaining scraps of the Shimelle MCE papers I bought (about 5 sheets?). I have a few unfinished cards - panels of patterned paper without sentiments or focal points yet - but I don’t have any loose papers or scraps left. I even managed to make a card to use up the cute branding strips.

I used one of my use it or lose it alphas for a title today. I've had it for more years than I can remember so I'm excited to see it finished.

I’ve had a sandylion style snoopy Easter sticker set from decades ago and I used it today on a spread from our easter trip at universal studios in Japan. Matched the pics of the snoopy and Woodstock egg garden ornaments perfectly!

This is an awesome thread for me right now, because I'm just getting back to scrapping after approx. 4 years away from it. I no longer have a craft space--never mind a room, and almost all of my supplies are packed away while I wait for my scrap space to be ready. Which is really low on a very long list of things that need to be done around here. (We bought an old house to restore/renovate a few years back, which I have always wanted to do, but it's super slow-going, and so I'm in "make-do" mode for crafting space.) So I literally grabbed one bankers box of 12x12 pads/papers/kits, and about 2 dozen 6x6 paper pads and brought them over to my tiny desk with a few markers & some adhesive, and that's ALL I'm scrapping with right now. So it's forcing me to make things work that normally I would have written off as not being "right" for whatever current project I was doing, and I hope it will lead to me finishing some things as well.

That's great! Limits really do encourage creativity. Hope you're having lots of fun getting back into scrapping

I've lately been loving the pages I've been creating from limited supplies, even if they are not always the things I would have chosen if I'd been using my whole stash. I hope you'll come back and let us know when you've used or used up some of your supplies, I find it really makes me want to dig into my stash when I see what others are using.
