[Julie Gearinger]

Happy New Year Everyone!! We are so thrilled to welcome all of you to our challenge to pull out those unloved stamps, papers, dies, embellishments, etc. and give them some "love".

This is the easiest challenge forum to join! We love seeing what you create with your unused paper crafting supplies, so please add the keyword USEIT2023 to your gallery post, and if you have time, link here in this forum as well so we can admire your artwork...

Thanks for joining in with us and we are looking forward to seeing what you create with your stash in 2023- hugs!

I have been waiting for this one to post in the new year! I have been a busy bee all morning in my craft room!

[Shoe Girl]

Happy New Year Julie. I am continuing to use up my tote of items on my table and also a stack of images that are already stamped needing colored and used. I had hoped to have one of those used up in 2022 but I am quite certain that the images will be used up by the end of 2023.

Here is my first card for 2023 using some wood hearts from my tote:
