My teapot Tuesday card uses some old lace (pretty sure I got it at some yardsale in the past 15 years) and an old stack of patterned paper. Out Of The Box With Nestabilities Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers

Here is another layout, trying to use scraps from an older Echo Park kit.

Here's my weekly USEIT2026 card. Just a small dent in my stash, but every creation helps use it up!

As promised, I'm bringing the stash to VSN. USEIT2026 cards posted so far:

JAN26VSNA Fundamental thanks by stampingwriter at Splitcoaststampers -- I have had the sentiment for ever and never inked it before. It's from one of those little one-dollar sets you used to be able to buy at Target.

JAN26VSNC Going for the Silver by stampingwriter at Splitcoaststampers Got the foil tape, probably on clearance at the craft store, years ago.

JAN26VSNE just keep swimming by stampingwriter at Splitcoaststampers -- Used ancient microbeads (hardly made a dent in one vial, and I have 4 different vials) and some old dp.

I also am bringing stash to VSN. I hadn’t used this banner die in ages, but found it. I used Blackberry Bliss ink and cardstock, from my stash, and found this Valentine sentiment in my stash of wood mounted stamps!

I like how everyone is finding the unused or older product in their stash. I asked for a couple of stamp sets that I knew would work in the VSN challenges. When my daughter brought them downstairs to me, she brought several card fronts I have worked on in prior years, got sidetracked or didn't know what to do with them, so I put them with the stamp set. I used one yesterday. I have one laying out ready to use. Thank you all for the inspiration!

I made another card for this Challenge. I used a Lawn Fawn stamp set for the sentiment that I totally forgot I had so will be leaving it on my desk to remind me to use it for our wedding anniversary. Everything on my card is old other than the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers that I used to colour my image.

I love you!
