Admit it, you have a drawer (or 2…or 5!) filled with supplies that you loves so much that you couldn’t bear to use them, maybe you were saving them for that “special” page and a couple of years later your treasures are outdated! Don’t throw them away, mix them up with some new product and use them, after all you loved them when you bought them, they don’t spoil. Can you find the moldy oldies in this page? They are over 5 years old!

I’m sure anyone who has been scrapping for a few years recognizes the typewriter stickers from EK success, I loved everything that Rebecca Sower designed and I horded these stickers like crazy. And how about the antiquated journaling block, it was a free gift for attending a Creative Memories party 5 years ago! Speaking of CM I know a lot of you have the circle and oval cutters, I made the clips on this page with them, simply place an oval cutter on a piece of pattern paper and cut 3/4 of the way around with the green blade then replace the green with the red blade and cut all of the way around. I found a bag of those I made may years ago hanging out with those stickers! Oh yes, the pattern paper scraps behind the photos are oldies too (about 4 years) the only new stuff was the background paper (DCWV new boy stack) and the cricut cartridge (opposites Attract) that I cut my free vinyl from a sign shop with. Don’t be afraid to use old product!!!

I loved reading the 10 things about you… my husband has the entire series (that’s available anyway) of Battlestar Galatica on DVD – he just had his marathon of viewing this past weekend! And saw the new Star Trek film.

Adorable page! I use my old stuff all the time-but I also gave a six inch high stack of paper to one of my students this year because I knew I’d never use it. I have all those RS stickers, too! We have such similar taste!
CONGRATS on being on the CS blog! You deserve it!!

OMG! OMG! OMG! I’m so excited to be mentioned on your blog. I saw this award on my friend Diana’s blog, but didn’t realize until today that I got it too. I’m so glad that I can create a post on my blog even though I can’t show (good) photos of my cards and such. Thank you so very much.
Also, while I’m here, thanks for the school themed card kit. I can’t wait for DH to fix my computer and I can print again.
