F4A68 – Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor … – 06/10/11
… your neglected stamp sets. You know which ones I mean … the ones you just HAD to have as SOON as you saw them. And THEN … those poor stamps got filed away … only to sit in the Archive of Unused Stamps.
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with a creation using one of your had-to-have-but-NEVER-used stamp sets. Something that has never seen ink (and I KNOW you ALL have some of these!! And stamp sets you just got LAST WEEK don't count!! These have to be sadly-neglected stamps!).
Uploading: Remember the keyword is without spaces. Use a comma between keywords with a space after each comma.
If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping!

Neglected stamps? Me? OK, well thank heavens you're not asking us to use them ALL on a card...that would be one big card...LOL! Isn't it funny how you just have to have something and never, and yes I mean never use it. Poor neglected things! I'm off to see what poor little images have yet to be inked up!
Great idea, Wendy!! I think most of us have stamps/sets we HAD to have and then never did anything with them. Your challenge is the push I needed to use this set. I've also combined your challenge with the QFTD one. Thanks!
Thanks for challenging us to use those sad, dusty, neglected sets Wendy!! Here's mine: Have a little Dream

Thanks for this great challenge, Wendy! Thank heavens you didn't ask us to provide numbers of just how many of these poor, neglected little bits of rubber we have!!! LOL!
What a great idea to push us to use those forgotten stamps! MY CARD

Great challenge Wendy! I have many neglected sets, but don't have a single one that I haven't used at all yet! I chose the neglected Upsy Daisy set and combined this challenge with the QFTD64 challenge. Here's my card.

I bought several sets of stamps last year at StampFest and this is the first time I have used them. Great challenge, Wendy! Why do we do things like that? You have to have something; but, then it gets put away, and you forget about them. And that, to me, means that you shouldn't have bought them in the first place! I will try to be more introspective in my shopping from now on. Here's my card --
Ruby-hearted mom said I should put F4A68 in the key words of my most recent card, so I did. Then I did a search for it, and found this. So, I'm adding it in. I think this is my first "double challenge" thingie. Maybe. I think so!
This card was made for Queen Lee-Anne but also fit todays sketch: Queen Anne's Flowers

Wow, Wendy, you know how to lay a guilt trip on us, don't you? I am so glad you did, however, because I was glad to discover these stamps buried beneath my desk. Here's my card.
guilt trip is right...lol. I found this Take Three Summer (2010) that I had never inked up. thanks for making me look thru my stamps will be using some I forgot I had
This was a fabulous topic for the Friday Free For All. Unfortunately I have many stamps which qualified for this theme... Here is my Neglected Fashion Plate.
