I've made up my mind, before I buy anything new I'VE GOT TO USE MY STASH!!! So, today I'm going to make the time and put out o my sb table some of my huge collections of paper to use up this weekend!! I have TONS of Basic Grey and MME!! & I know i've got some others but those are the biggest two manufacturers that i've bought and can't seem to use!!


SO, Which manufacturers have you got stacks of that are in need to be scrapped? I'm interested to see how many is in the same boat? (or maybe we need a cruise ship!!)

I'm a paper hoarder too! I've probably got 10 of those 13x13 plastic storage boxes filled with paper amd that doesn't include all the 8.5 x 11 cardstock and the 8x8 & 6x6 paper packs. I still have some of those 12x12 packs from Joanns and Michaels that are 10 years ago old... LOL! But, I need options, lots of options, when I'm scrapping so there is a method to my madness.

I think I have a hodge podge of old stuff. But, I am happy to report that yesterday when I worked on a LO (not quite complete yet) I opened a paper pack that I bought many eons ago, from Chatterbox. Its so flimsy I almost didnt use it, but the papers worked well... Does Chatterbox even make scrappy paper anymore, lol

i used to LOVE Chatterbox papers!! And you are right, VERY flimsy...but pretty!! I was in a few swaps with those papers too!! SO i have tags, titles, and photot mats to use or throw away!!



They must not be in business anymore!!-But don't know for sure!!

I only hoard cardstock. I buy a particular line of pp for a specific project and that's it. I'm so slow to get things done that I don't want to feel guilty about a bunch of unused pp piling up.

[deerewife]

I have tons of kits from the swaps that used to happen on the boards - I need to use them up!!

Not really manufacturer specific at the moment, but I do have lots of Basic Grey that could use some using.

I have tons of paper & Packs but no one particular brand.

[montana_girl]

I have tons of paper (I'm a paper addict!) by just about every company. I plan on using my stash this weekend too.... though I do end up making at least one run to my LSS store for something I need to complete a challenge.

Joannie, add Making Memories to your list and I'm there! So much paper, so little time!!!

[scrappininAK]

I have a drawerful of paper from lots of companies - I'm striving to use it up

[ajkulig]

HA I am so bad, I don't think you want to know my philosophy on the matter because I pretty much think so long as I am using SOME of my stash it's fine. I want to have a whole wall of paper and I am not there yet, I don't use my new stuff as soon as I get it there is usually a good mix.

Since I was a Creative Memories Consultant my hoard is largely CM, though I still have personal/opened paper stored separately from the rest (that I'll still sell if possible, though I'm not actively trying). I never did buy the bound paper stacks but have a few packs of a bunch from one line such as MM or Fancy Pants. Not to mention all the digi kits I've accumulated over the years & still haven't unzipped!! That's a stash too!

[scrapy1967]

Thats a good idea I have tons of basic grey I need to use up. This weekend is a good time to do that.

[pawprints]

Oh I think I need that cruise ship LOL!

[grifscap]

I have papers from every company I think. Hundreds and hundreds of papers. I am trying to use up some of my paper, but I think it will be a lost cause.

[joannie]

Oh I think I need that cruise ship LOL!

LOL!!!

[naderamac]

I am so in that boat also. I am not buying anymore stuff until I get some of mine used up. I also own tons of basic grey, MME, K&Co, Reminisce, and many others I don't remember. But as soon as my room is put together I will be starting and getting photos on paper and in albums.

[pinkie915]

Yup, I think I need the cruise ship.... I could start my own store with all the supplies I have... determined to use my stash this year!!!!

I'm with you!
But.... I will totally admit that I probably won't stop buying things.... (as I add all of the new Sassafrass Lass to my basket).....

I'm terrible!
I'm thinking that if I have time to participate I will try to use ONLY the things that I haven't bought this year. Now maybe that doesn't sound like such a stretch? But I've been a bit scrap-happy w/the shopping lately.... LOL

[jannyf]

Gee, we all love our paper, don't we???? I'd like to get rid of at least 1 box of paper!!!! I have alot left from my on-line store, when I over bought and undersold, so the more layers I can slap onto a LO, the better!!!!

So, where is our cruise ship taking off to????
