Does this have to be a purchased kit or are DIY kits ok? I have more that I’ve put together myself than anything…

Perfect!!! I have a couple sitting at my desk that need used up or put away… I’d much rather create than put it back in its home lol

This is a really fantastic, and productive, challenge! Love this idea so much! I'm not really a kit buyer, but I will look around and see what I can come up with. Would ACOT's Black Friday bundles from last year count? I have some of those that I've started using but have leftovers hanging around. (And you remind me that I also have a few that are still untouched -- shame on me! I better get on it! haha) I don't think I will get any of this totally used up, but maybe I can make a serious dent in it over the next week, which would be fantastic!

THANK YOU for an awesome challenge!

Here are the supplies I have left over from the Simple Stories Coastal Collection bundle I bought here at ACOT on Black Friday last year. I already used up a lot of the bundle making a mini album documenting a trip I took to Hawaii around 20 years ago -- a fun project to work on!

I saved the flamingo items from this collection to use for scrapping Florida trip pics. In theory, that is what I should probably work on for this challenge. However, in actuality, that probably still won't get done, because I am not sure exactly where the Florida pics are. They might be packed in a sealed-up moving box. I shall investigate and report back.

So I still have multiple sheets of paper from this bundle left over, plus a few chipboard pieces, plus many, many journaling cards from the cut-apart papers that were included with the collection. I also still have a stencil that goes with this -- so if all else fails when the chipboard runs out, I will be stenciling!

Thanks for a fun challenge Love2Stamp! I am looking forward to making a dent in this pile of leftovers!

Updating 5-12-2023 to add the first layout I finished for this challenge!



Updating 5-14-2023 to add a photo of another page I made for this challenge:



Updating 5-15-2023 with more pages I finished for this challenge:



Another update from me: I made a bunch more pages for this! But with less than 15 minutes left before the deadline, I do not have time to edit all the pics and upload them all. Bummer!!! So I will post what I can.

I did not use up my bundle, but I will post the pic of what's left. I never did find the Florida photos, and the flamingo items from this bundle were the reason I bought the bundle in the first place, so that is why I didn't make more of an effort to use up those items. So I do not qualify for the bonus!! But I am soooooo happy with the results of this challenge, so THANK YOU again, Love2Stamp!!

Time to gather my baggies of baggies. I find it so hard to let go of those last little bits and pieces of a collection. No time like now to get at least one of those baggies outta here!

Hi Lis! Haha, I have baggies of baggies, too! Glad it isn't just me...

This is what’s left of a page kit I put together for some hot wheels/match box pages of my boys. I’ll add in solid cardstock and probably a decent amount of mixed media and hope to stretch this into at least (3) layouts. Goal is to use up the papers, way too many embellishments here for the amount of papers left but I’m gonna see how it goes!

Here’s my first layout!

Layout 2!

Sorry, I still haven’t figured out how to make my images show, but if you click on all the links, you’ll see my before kit, two layouts, and the leftovers

Here’s a third layout - getting close to out of paper!!

My images aren’t showing up in the challenge gallery even though I posted them there. Sorry, I’m new to this forum and I’m struggling to figure it all out. Lol

Hi MaganL! Nice to "meet" you. Welcome!

Did you see these instructions on how to post a photo in the message board here?

viewtopic.php?f=359&t=274974

Does that help?

Best wishes with using up your kit. I hope you are enjoying the challenge(s) you decided to participate in.

How did I miss this!    I'm just seeing it.  I made the layout below yesterday.  I made the cards today and I still have plenty of this line left.  I accidentally double ordered the 12x12 kit and the coordinating "solid" papers!  So I had a LOT of this wonderful line!!!!  I still have a couple of challenges that I think will work with this...
