I found such cute stuff! Some older Studio Calico kits, Club Scrap kits, kits from the club that comes with coffee???, CTMH paper/sticker sets, random kits from my LSS that had tons of MME So Sophie, October Afternoon, and Bo Bunny, Basic Gray collections, Websters Pages, Sassafrass and so much more!
I am going stamping tomorrow and want to make some Valentines. I pulled great stuff to use on my cards. I am also going to a weekend crop and plan to work on a cruise album. I found an entire tropical collection by maybe Graphic 45 that is PERFECT!
I had such a great time digging into my stash and it really curbed my urge to shop. But I did make quite a mess.  lol |

Ummm...yeah. It's pretty bad. As soon as I get my new craft table arranged in my room, I'll post pics.
The sheer quantity of stuff I have is what inspired me to shop my stash. My friends joke that I have my own store.  |

I agree! Stash shopping totally makes up for a lot of "regular" shopping! And I love the price tag!

It's definitely on my things to do list, and I am hoping to get quite a bit of scrapping done this weekend - set a goal of 12 pages minimum. What I like about doing this is when you mix old and new products, your pages never looked "dated" from a certain era, all the trends blend nicely together. |

I've been scrappin 2011 Halloween pics and I used older stash, a combo of K&Co Tim Coffey Halloween and Jen Yanok Halloween. I'm sure they are at least a few years old. I figured I need to use the "cutesy" papers while the gks are young...save the PP, MME, EP, G45,...etc..etc...for when I don't have "young" pics of them. At any rate, I was happy to use what I had....and still like...it's a good feeling! Kudos to you! | |

Well, send good "stash shopping" vibes my way--I'm doing LOs of dd's high school graduation which is just crying out for some BLUE and I can't think of a thing...before I run to A's I'm going through the stash in hopes I've forgotten something that will be perfect! |

I am really trying to do this more lately... I have been trying to really use all the embellies and stamps that I have. Today I used a Unity stamp that I have had for almost 2 years and never used. And some buttons that must be 5 years old at least. Feels good! |

I've been trying to do this more. My LSS is having a garage sale so I have been evaluating my stash to see if there are things that I am not going to use, and coming up with a bit of this and that. But I have come across some great old stuff that I've been using! |

I have been doing so reorganizing has I dig.
I don't have to buy bling for a LONGGGGGG time. I have some serious stash of that.
I'm headed out to buy some iris boxes and NO BLING!!! I made 15 cards last with my stash.
