Stash bashing!

scrappinmom99 · Mon Jul 08, 2024 5:19 pm

This is such an uncommon occurrence that I felt the need to document it LOL! For one thing, I love October Afternoon so much and tend to hoard since you can't just buy more anymore. This Rocket Age collection is from 2011 and I bought it specifically for our trip to the NY Hall of Science because they have rockets outside and a physics & rocket-themed mini-golf course as part of the museum. Anyway...there were only a few stickers left and I was determined to finish off the sheet. As much as I love hoarding supplies, it does feel good to get them on a layout...especially the layout you had in mind all along! It only took 13 years...

I love this and I also feel a sense of accomplishment when I finish a sticker sheet or collection. LOL I also hate to see it go too. I can't win.

But your page is spectacular! It's perfect!!

Awesome !!!! Clapping

way to go!!!! I’m so proud of your accomplishment!!! I think we all know what’s it’s like to have that special paper we bought and then hoard it! You did a fabulous job using it up and on the subject you purchased it for! Yippee!

Awesome that you still had your OA to use for these pictures. The LOs are fantastic.

I remember those stickers! Way to get them used!

I still have (at least) most of the OA Rocket Age line. I need to dig out some old photos and get them scrapped. I think I have most all of my OA left because it's my favorite and I know I can't get it anymore. I'm trying to work on using it so that other people can enjoy just how wonderful OA products are!

Your layout is fabulous - and way to go for finishing up the sticker sheet!

Thanks! Yay! Isn't it funny the things we are so proud of ourselves for LOL! And I know that you guys will totally get it! I did have to talk myself into using them up - "this is what you bought them for..."

Do it! Get those photos scrapped! What did you buy Rocket Age for? I also have so many other OA lines - a pirate one, a Sat morning cartoons one, the 5 & Dime one and other stuff here and there. So many sticker sheets and labels too. I think that's where my love of labels came from - OA. My supply is slowly dwindling. Whenever I need something "just so" I can usually find it in my OA stuff.

I thought I never would too but I only have a few full sheets left and lots of scraps and stickers and ephemera. But like I said, it's only taken 13 years to get to this point LOL!
