Here's mine:
The Suzy Zoo stickers are from like 2000 or so. The dot paper is Chatterbox from 2002. I am not sure either is in business anymore.

Re: Spring Challenge- April 2015
I am loving this challenge! Everything on here is old. The main papers (all except the blue with white dots) are from Junkitz's Baby collection. They don't exist anymore and I miss them! Pompom yarn...have tons of it LOL! Felt brads that I've had forever. The Baby Power Fresh sticker is from Phrase Cafe, which I used to loooooooove!
Happy Scrapping!

YES!! Like Eyelets... Make me use my Crop a whatever it's called.. lol!Sara M. wrote:1scrappymom wrote:LOVE this challenge!! I have been trying to dip into my old stash for a while...it can certainly use some spring cleaning!! As far as challenges...I would be good if we repeated this one every month! I've seen this challenge (or one similar) called a "hoarder's challenge"...which basically forces you to use the stash you have been holding on to. Thanks again for hosting challenges!!!
Oh!...love the idea of a Hoarders Challenge! Maybe pick one old type of product or tool to focus on each month....I think I might host one for the summer...great suggestion!

I think I could come up with something... Maybe our Summer Challenges can have a theme of sorts.joannie wrote:LOVE the idea of this challenge repeating!!!! I've had fun getting out my older stuff and playing with it!!

Re: Spring Challenge- April 2015
I can't remember who makes these butterfly stickers but they are at least 5 years old. The Debbie Mumm papers are older - probably at least 10 years old.
Thanks,

"Take a Vacation from Clutter!" (Some ideas off the top of my head)
June's challenge could be to use ( __ number of ) items that are tiny (no bigger than 1/2", for example): brads, eyelets, tiny buttons, sequins, etc
July could be to use ( __ number of ) items that are long (over 7" long, for example): ribbons, washi, borders, border punches, ric rac, etc
August could be to use ( __ number of ) items that are leftovers: from a kit, sticker sheet, chipboard, etc.
Just a thought.

Re: Spring Challenge- April 2015
Thank you so much for this challenge! Way back I hoarded the whole Cloud 9 doggie line that I planned to use for pages of my Boomie. I even have the matching album for his book. But I had not done any pages for him using it yet! So this got me getting it all out… papers, rain dots, tab stickers, chips fabric tape… all of it!
Re: Spring Challenge- April 2015
Another one from me! I've been going through all my old doggie stash. For this I used a really old paw print paper from ATD, plus papers and embellishments from Basic Grey's Max & Whiskers line. The alphas have also been around a while… K & Co Pet alpha and Basic Grey Curio alpha. This is such a great challenge because it is making me want to get in there and use this stuff I've had for so long!

Re: Spring Challenge- April 2015
here's a page from me - hopefully it has enough old stuff on it - very old Teresa Collins papers, making memories papers, Maya Road chipboard and butterfly, Sassafras Lass and making memories and Colorbok sticker alphas, Crate Paper sticker. New is the stamp and Jillibean soup sticker arrow
