Use what you have...

In an effort to de-clutter my stampspace and use up long-loved stamper's merchandise, I'm once again resorting to challenging myself (and seeking other challenges) to use what I already have.  I have SO much and it'll take me to the far reaches of eternity to use up all this stuff sooo...this is one small dent, albeit miniscule.

I noticed a card posted on fb the other day with a challenge attached- the Sweet Stamp Shop Challenge #9 to "USE WHAT YOU HAVE"...ok...got it...so here it is:

So here's what I did:

1.  Take a picture of the stash...Um...That's embarrassing so I'll tighten up that photo a bit...

2.  Use the items in the stash to create a project.***Narrow it down to a few items that inspire a creation...or two...
*** Insert personal rule here...DONT GET DISTRACTED BY SHINY THINGS AND DIVERGE FROM THE TASK!!!
3.  Take pictures of said creations and blog about the adventure.

4.  Post a link to the creation on the SSS blog post.

So here goes:  

Stash Picture:

Narrow it down:

Hmmm...wonder if that means anything..Things are looking UP!  hee hee hee!
Finished products:

Started out with 12 little bag envies...I needed to get rid of those bags...I've had them for more than 5 years!!!  (Stamp set is Baby Love from Sweet Stamp Shop)

Now if I'm really going to get rid of stuff, I have to give (or sell) them away right?  Well, I needed a card for that so I made a coordinating card to go with it...

 Oh YES!  I'm SOOO PROUD of myself...1 project down..don't see the dent in my stash yet...

Link is set!

Now...Ready, Set, Go...I challenge you to do the same!!!
