i just made a St. Patricks Day card for my aunt and realized that the background paper was came from Current, circa approximately 1999. Is Current even in business anymore?
So what’s the oldest material you used on your most recent project?

The oldest thing I used on my last layout, was paper from the Making Memories Vintage Findings collection, 2009.

I used two different papers that came from the same LSS that would have to be at least 18 years old, one was a handmade embossed paper with gold dots and the other was from paper pizzaz and was a cheetah print. Honestly I forgot all about paper Pizzaz and when I pulled that paper out I had a giggle about all those pattern paper books I had.

I used a self stamp set with loose letters that you place yourself in grooves to make the stamp. I bought it to do return addresses for my wedding invites 26 years ago. I just needed a specific phrase so I pulled it out. Worked beautifully

I never even heard of Current! KMA I remember Oldest item was a stamp set I bought 15 years ago - the company was "gel-a-tins". They went out of business 6 years ago (thanks google). Also, some 10 year old thickers and washi tape!

I just used some Cosmo Cricket on a few layouts, with more to be used on a rodeo layout soon. One of these days I’m going to get out the Wild Asparagus for layouts I have planned. The color and artistry is so beautiful on those older lines. Remember drooling over the racks at your LSS?

I'm working on a Disney Christmas album. There are no Disney Christmas papers (that I have found), so I have been using Christmas patterned papers from my stash. I have no idea how old the papers are.
I do remember Current. I used to order occasionally from them, but not scrapbook supplies.

I used some rub-ons recently that still worked great. They have to be over 10 years old.
I'm not home or I'd tell you the brand.

I bought a few dies from AX that were Mickey/Minnie at Christmas themed, plan to use regular christmas paper with these as embellishments. I ordered a pack of assorted scrapbook papers 8.5 x 11, some faux ribbon stickers with sayings stamped on them and some sheets of diecut borders in various vintage colors. I still use the borders and they are 12x12. Face it this was my only choice for paper supplies other than a local mom and pop craft store for several years.

I've been using up some old travel themed twist ties from Pebbles that I've had in my stash for quite a long time. No packaging so I have no idea how old they actually are.

I used a teddy bear sticker that is so old I have no idea where it came from. I think it might be Current!

I just used a piece of patterned paper from KMA circa 2003. I still have a good supply of their papers. I miss that company, they were one of my favorites.

I used some of the SEI stickers from their pets line. I wasn’t a big SEI fan but I did love that line.

I'm not sure. I don't remember the year lines were released. Most of my stash is SEI and they are no longer selling scrap supplies. I did find a sticker sheet that said printed or produced 1992. I've known that sticker longer than my husband.

Ummmm.. I still have a decent supply of MM rub-on letters.. those ones that came in a strip.. each letter had it's own strip.. It's getting harder and harder to use and even create missing letters. lol.. But dang I LOVED those things. And they still work perfect.

Over the weekend I used a paper from 2003 or 2004. It's the scripty text paper in the background below.

I have not been working on anythinng since my husband is in the hospital again sorry to hear about this! good thoughts for your husband and you... The oldest thing I've used lately is some of my tools- I still have my Creative Memories shape templates and cutting mat, probably circa 1995-2000?? I also still have all the shape punches I bought way back when, and I've found some more at estate sales and thrift stores. I also used some CM photo matting paper that's probably 15-20 years old, along with some of my NEW CM tools from the last couple years. I do have tons of paper that's probably 10+ years old... and oddly enough, I was just shopping on Amazon yesterday for scrapping stuff and found some (new?) Hot off the Press card kits... I almost bought one of them!

I used a bling circle as a frame. I have no idea how long it’s been waiting to be used. There were four or so different sizes and this was the last one.

Probably letter stickers of some sort. I've been digging in my stash using some old flat stickers I bought in 2008-2009.
