Stash Busting

christinec68 · Tue Apr 29, 2014 11:27 am

Is there anything specific in your stash that you'd really like to put a dent in during NSD? How will you motivate yourself to use that item?

I am going to put a small bowl of buttons on the table while I am scrapping. It will be the constant reminder to use them on my projects.

I'd just like to put a dent in my overall stash - HA! On a more serious note, I'd like to use up some brads/eyelets. I have a butt load of them and never use them. And my scraps.

I suppose mine isn't so much something I want to use up but rather to use more of. I have a great collection started of really cute stamps and I want to try to incorporate them more into my Lo's I'd like to use stamps on EVERY lo but that might be pushing it. I'm a sucker for a cute stamp set. Other than that, I just placed a huge ACOT order of pp

so, I guess I need to use up more pp!

Ashli Oliver/Soaphousemomma just did a video for Shimelle.com using a stamp set and some water colors to make background paper. Her style is completely different than mine but I loved the concept and the randomness of her methods and makes me want to try it.

I need to get my scraps under control...it's getting bad right now. Maybe, I'll do a card & tag making challenge after the NSD dust settles.

I am guilty of buying embellishments that I love, but I end up scared to use them for fear that a better picture/project would come along to use it for. I pulled a top 10 last night that I hope to use through the crop. I also need to thin out my button and ribbon stash.

I do the same thing...I hoard them because they look so much nicer in packaging than on pages. ha!!

Patterened thin Sticker alpha's, I still have a lot and I am trying to merge over to ONLY solid colors or at the least ONLY patterened Thickers.

well, since most of my "stash" is in storage, I have two Daisy Wheels that have some old papers (3+ years) sitting on them and two 12x12 plastic boxes that I have basically been working with - plus a few ACOT orders that I have place - so I will be working to get rid of as much of all that as I can before I buy more of course

mgehrke · Tue Apr 29, 2014 12:28 pm

Well with 337 rolls of Washi Tape.............no can't do that. How about I use up more of my scraps

blbabe1234 · Tue Apr 29, 2014 12:29 pm

Mine is ribbon. I'm gonna put my basket of ribbon on my desk to remind me to try to use it.

ammielou · Tue Apr 29, 2014 12:30 pm

Mine would have to be ribbon and brads. I've accumulated lots over the years and just never use it!

Mildred, I think you know what you need to do here. ha!!!

scrap paper! I have two big boxes of scraps I would like to use up. Also my burgeoning box of Washi which I do try to use at least once a day.

Christine, you ask hard questions LOL! There are a few things I want to put a dent in.....stickers, scraps and ribbon. There I said it, now I have to do it LOL! Maybe flowers too but I won't completely commit to flowers as I'm having trouble with my adhesive and bulky things. I need to place an ACOT order soon!

That's a great idea. I used up most of my cards recently when I sent out my birthday thank yous.... I need to replenish the stash.

that is such a great idea - I think I'll try set out some chipboard pieces to use up
