Welcome to September. I'd like to say a big thank you to grammadee for hosting the August challenge.
Use the below list to inspire your project. You can use one, some or all the prompts on the list. Substitutions are welcome and encouraged.
• something from your last purchase
• tags
• thickers
• ink/mist
• border strips
• something you've been saving for the perfect project
All types of projects count (paper, digi, hybrid, PL, art journaling, anything else you create) and if you share your projects online please link them here so we can admire and leave some love. You can find instructions to post in the Refupeas gallery in this thread but shout out if you need help.
I hope you find time to play along and I can't wait to see what everyone creates.

I did scrap last month but don't think anything matched the challenge here. I think this month that will change  . This list. Looks like a good one. |

Here's my first layout for this challenge. I've used some MME flag stickers from my last purchase and the pink journaling box I have had for forever and always thought I'd use on a page about my childhood. There's a pretty good mix of new and (really) old here.  |

Chinagirl828 I love how you fit so many photos on the page without it being too busy. Great layout! I thought the same thing! I haven't quite gotten the hang of it. Chinagirl828--did you go to Disneyland? It looks like King Arthur's Carousel, but I'm on my phone and it won't let me enlarge the photo. How was your trip? Where all did you go? Did you take a lot of pictures to scrap? |

Chinagirl828 --did you go to Disneyland? It looks like King Arthur's Carousel, but I'm on my phone and it won't let me enlarge the photo. How was your trip? Where all did you go? Did you take a lot of pictures to scrap? I have to confess it's a scraplift of a double page layout by Shimelle in her class the 20 Project. The two main photos are 5x3 and the other 5 are 2x3.
It is Disneyland - it was a bit of an impulse visit during the few days we had in LA on our way home. We started in Vegas, went to Cuba for 8 days, then had a quick stop over in Turks & Caicos before heading back to LA and home to Melbourne.
The trip was fabulous. I took a surprisingly small no of photos - under 900 for me and only a couple of hundred from my SO (he's really good at keeping only the best shots from each day). I didn't take many photos in the USA as we've both been to Vegas and LA before. Cuba has the lion's share of photos since we've never been - it was amazing and eye opening and everything I could have expected from the photos I've seen online but somehow so much more. I will definitely be scrapping heaps of photos from this part of my trip, I just need to get my head past the "these photos are too special and I'll never do them justice" thing first.

Chinagirl828, that sounds like a wonderful trip! I am really looking forward to seeing some of your Cuba photos, as until recently, Cuba was not a place Americans could easily visit. I understand about scrapping "special" photos paralysis, but I hope you get over it soon so we can all see

This is my mom and her friends sailing to Hawaii the year it became a US state--1959. The blue cardstock is my most recent purchase, and you can't really tell because so little of it shows, but I misted it in gold. I've been clinging to that leftover piece of striped KI Memories paper since 2008 (according to the branding strip) and I was saving it for photos that were also fun and colorful. The blue rickrack is a little inside family joke, as my mom used to sew a lot of our clothes when we were kids and she often used rickrack for trim, especially to hide the lines that showed when she would let out the hems.  |

chendra I love the light and fresh feeling to this page and all the details are just perfect - the wave under the title, the colour of the cardstock and rickrack, that cute little crab tag - and I love the striped pp. Beautiful!

Here is my layout. I used my very first Felicity Jane kit for most of it. My saved for the perfect layout are my last two acetate flowers. I think they are Heidi Swapp. Whatever they are, they are OLD! I used two stamps. The challenges are forcing my to use them and I am really enjoying it. I apologize for the uncropped image. I must have uploaded the wrong file and I am way too tired to redo it.  September 2016 Stash Challenge by Mikk lynn, on Flickr |

mikklynn oh those ghost shapes! I loved those and finally used my last snowflakes on a page earlier this year. Like you I'd been hoarding them a long time. I left you some love in the gallery.

Here's my next one. I really struggled with this layout - I've changed the background pp over to cardstock, I've changed the order of all the other papers, and I've shuffled embellishments around - but I really like the way it turned out. The pink(ish) pp is one I've been hoarding, the stickers and the woodgrain pp are from my last purchase, and I used some mist.  |

Chinagirl828 Your layout turned out just lovely. I have done that, peeled everything up and replaced the background paper. It was worth the effort for you!

 Here's mine. The die cuts and pinked circle are all newer purchases as is the cherish wood veneer. The border banner has been hanging out in my stash for several years waiting for the right layout. I used sei ltr stickers instead of thickers as they matched better, bonus as they were untouched from at least 2003 or 04! |

Chendra, that is a beautiful page! That ricrac is the perfect finishing touch: even without the "inside joke", it suggests waves on this LO. And I love that wave below the title. Already thinking how I could copy that with a curvy cutter  |

Great way to use up those stickers! Isn't it great when you get new stuff and realize it goes perfectly with something you have had in your stash for awhile? |

Don't you love finally using old products? YES. It's strange the satisfaction seems to be inversely proportionate to the time I've I'd had it. Isn't it great when you get new stuff and realize it goes perfectly with something you have had in your stash for awhile? I love it when any thing matches what I have perfectly, whether it's new or old, because I will use something less than perfect on a page to get it done. ha. |

Here's another one from me. I've been working my way back through Shimelle's Scrapbook Remix class and trying to create pages from each of the prompts, one of which was to use the same page design which explains why I've had so many similar looking pages lately (and I love how many extra photos I can fit on a page this way). From the list I used mist, tags, something from my last purchase (the BG purple alpha stickers), border strips (the scalloped washi is sort of a border strip), and something I've been saving for the perfect project (the purple background paper).  |
