ACOT Message Board

Is there anything specific in your stash that you'd really like to put a dent in during NSD?  How will you motivate yourself to use that item?

I am going to put a small bowl of buttons on the table while I am scrapping.  It will be the constant reminder to use them on my projects.  

 

I'd just like to put a dent in my overall stash - HA!  On a more serious note, I'd like to use up some brads/eyelets.  I have a butt load of them and never use them.   And my scraps.  

hmmmmmmmm possibly veneer.......I have tooooooooo much!

I suppose mine isn't so much something I want to use up but rather to use more of. I have a great collection started of really cute stamps and I want to try to incorporate them more into my Lo's I'd like to use stamps on EVERY lo but that might be pushing it.  I'm a sucker for a cute stamp set. Other than that, I just placed a huge ACOT order of pp so, I guess I need to use up more pp!

ummm...everything in my scrappy room, but I would have to say buttons and ribbon.

Ashli Oliver/Soaphousemomma just did a video for Shimelle.com using a stamp set and some water colors to make background paper.  Her style is completely different than mine but I loved the concept and the randomness of her methods and makes me want to try it.  

yes EVERYTHING!!  but I never use stamps, ribbon, diecuts, and  flat stickers and I should.

I need to get my scraps under control...it's getting bad right now.  Maybe, I'll do a card & tag making challenge after the NSD dust settles.  

I am guilty of buying embellishments that I love, but I end up scared to use them for fear that a better picture/project would come along to use it for.  I pulled a top 10 last night that I hope to use through the crop.  I also need to thin out my button and ribbon stash.

I do the same thing...I hoard them because they look so much nicer in packaging than on pages. ha!! 

Patterened thin Sticker alpha's, I still have a lot and I am trying to merge over to ONLY solid colors or at the least ONLY patterened Thickers.

well, since most of my "stash" is in storage, I have  two Daisy Wheels that have some old papers (3+ years) sitting on them and two 12x12 plastic boxes that I have basically been working with - plus a few ACOT orders that I have place - so I will be working to get rid of as much of all that as I can before I buy more of course

Well with 337 rolls of Washi Tape.............no can't do that. How about I use up more of my scraps

Mine is ribbon. I'm gonna put my basket of ribbon on my desk to remind me to try to use it.

Mine would have to be ribbon and brads.  I've accumulated lots over the years and just never use it!

Mildred, I think you know what you need to do here. ha!!!  

scrap paper!  I have two big boxes of scraps I would like to use up.  Also my burgeoning box of Washi which I do try to use at least once a day.

Christine, you ask hard questions LOL!  There are a few things I want to put a dent in.....stickers, scraps and ribbon. There I said it, now I have to do it LOL! Maybe flowers too but I won't completely commit to flowers as I'm having trouble with my adhesive and bulky things. I need to place an ACOT order soon!

That's a great idea.  I used up most of my cards recently when I sent out my birthday thank yous....  I need to replenish the stash.

that is such a great idea - I think I'll try set out some chipboard pieces to use up
