I finally completed a Pocket Page LO that I've been working on since the beginning of the year. Everything used, including the album, pockets, cards, etc, etc....all out of my stash and have been sitting there for at least 6 years or more. I'm happy to finally use some of them.

Here's another pocket page I made yesterday using all of my very old stash. I did, however, include part of the wrist band from my op LOL, and I also picked up a free colour sample from the local hardware and used some of that...haha. The things we crafters will do on a LO.

I used all old crafting tools that have not seen the light of day for at least three years! They are: Spellbinders Pinking Circles bought in 2010, haven't used in three years; Arygle embossing folder bought in 2012, haven't used in at least three years; and Pinking Shears, that are 50-years-old and have been missing for over three years...just found them this week...YEAH!

First time using this quilt block die that I bought a few months ago. First time opening this paper pack from ODBD that I bought at a stamp show last April.
Here is a layout using a neglected border punch and some netting stuff out of my fiber drawer. Don't even know what it is! But mostly included this for those leaf buttons that I just found! Don't have any idea where they came from. Didn't even know I had them! LOL
I brought out materials and tools that had been gathering dust for over three years: 1) an old patterned dsp that has been in my paper stash for years; 2) die-cut hearts that have been hiding for several years; 3) old ribbon from my stash�can�t remember when I last used it!<o:p></o>
The follow on tag from my previous one but depicting cooler weather. Everything used was sitting in my stash and the stamp sets and some TH distress inks, including oxides, never been opened...I'm so naughty but now they are being used :rolleyes:;)
TFL Happy day

I'm pulling out my old Stampin' Up leftover 2015 papers, stamps, heart embossing folder, and tools to create this card A 2018 Valentine for Mom! for my 92-year-old young Mom, because she especially love this embossing folder and she always loves to add banner to her cards!

Wow, I'm on a roll. Just made 4 sympathy cards with Rubbernecker's Sketch Poppy image - first time out of the package and I gave it a workout (because there were many attempts that went in the garbage before I ended up with these 4.) Nice to know that I now have a few sympathy cards in my stash for when I need them.
This is the group shot - I also posted individual close-ups.
This is a LO that I created for a couple of scrapping challenges. Everything was out of my stash, some of it very old
TFL Happy day

I feel like I hit the "USE IT" trifecta with this one. The quatrefoil die was purchased YEARS ago and never used. I've been buying some of the Altenew stamp cubes in color families but hadn't yet used the purples or the greens. And, I just bought the peony set/die from Altenew but hadn't had an opportunity to ink it up yet.
I have not been hanging around here much lately as I've been mostly using up new stuff, but last weekend, I went through my craft room and reorganized. I put aside some stuff that I thought I could get rid off, which included the Fan Fare DSP pack. It was sitting on the table and when I saw it with the printout of a Christmas party poster I wanted to include in my scrapbook album, I noticed that the colours of both went very well together. So back into my stamping room came the DSP pack and I finally got that layout made after years of holding on to the poster! :rolleyes: While the paper was out, I also got two additional cards made with it.
So much for purging my room... but at least I finally used the stuff!
On my card: Valentine Dots & Hugs for Friends! I used old and new items as follows: My Stampin' Up Happy Days stamps, the Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder and the "Full Heart" punch are over nine years old, are now retired and have been gathering dust for well over three years. My Technique Tuesday DiHeart "hugs" die is two-years and brand new but never used!

Hi Everyone! This card uses a brand new set with dies that I have owned for a few months now and never use yet along with vellum (which I love but rarely use)
Most items were bought several months ago and either not or rarely used.
TFL and happy day

Here are tags I made to go with Valentine gifts I put together for my BS ladies. I decided to give mine and mom's teacup collection away as gifts.
Valentines for Bible Study ladies.
I used a neglected tag/bookmark punch (most of my punches are neglected!), and a stamp that has never been used.
Really proud of this one...nothing on it is new...everything is old and dusty and resurrected from way down under! The stamp set P.S. I Love You! by Stampin' Up that I purchased from the 2011 Occasions mini catalog! Almost all the punches except the round circles have been retired!
Where was my brain...I uploaded my DD's Valentine card and entered my challenges in Keywords, but forgot to enter them on the challenge pages! So, without further delay...this one is made from all OLD stuff...the stamp set is a Stampin' Up 2011 set (Valentine Defined), and the SU punches (Scallop Edge, Heart to Heart-smallest heart used) are all retired by now...here it is: A Valentine in the Pink of Things!

Hi. I just discovered this thread. I've been trying to use stuff I already have for a while now (nothing makes you more aware of how many supplies you have than moving house twice in 18 months). I'll try to remember to post here, too.
