LSC97 - A New Year's Resolution

CardFanatic · 01-04-2007

Brought to you by deeth1 (Thanks Deloris!)

Do you buy stamps and related products when it's on sale thinking you will be able to use it, then put it away in a cabinet to have it just sit there? Or have you received a stamping accessory as a gift and it didn’t fit your needs at the time and you’ve forgotten about it? Have you made a New's Years Resolution to use the stamps and supplies that you have before you buy more? Well then, this challenge is for you!

Start out 2007 by making a card with something you bought or received in 2006 but have never used.

Uploading: When uploading, please tell us in the comments section what is used on your card that you have never used before. And don’t forget to add the keyword: LSC97!

Here's a link to all the challenge cards.

lacyquilter · 01-04-2007

Oh my goodness, Jen! You really have been peeking in my stamps, haven't you! I can sooooooooo do this challenge!

Babsnelson · 01-04-2007

Great challenge Jen - I have way too much stuff that I never use. I'll sleep on this and stamp tomorrow afternoon - we've got playgroup in the morning

atomicbutterfly · 01-04-2007

what a great challenge, Jen! I was organizing my studio today and found all kinds of forgotten treasures! This is definitely a timely challenge! Maybe I'll stay up and try this one out!

raduse · 01-04-2007

Jen, you've been in my stamping stuff too. This challenge sooooo sounds like me.

stamper-c · 01-04-2007

Sounds like a great challenge - hope to find time to play tomorrow...

Me too- I was thinking-where to begin?? Did do some stuff today- but need to go to bed now-work comes early

diane617 · 01-04-2007

Wait- I just thought of something- Does this mean we have to mount them too?

sherristampsalot · 01-04-2007

PERFECT!!! What an awesome challenge! Thanks Jen!

stampscout · 01-04-2007

Yeah, something to dream about tonight--where to start, oh where to start!

LindaKeal · 01-04-2007

Does it have to be from last year or can it be older?

Oh dear! You're starting a collection of unused stamps every year?

LOL! (I haven't been collecting long enough.) Yes. You can use them.

Extra pats on the back for using older stuff!!!

rhondag · 01-04-2007

I don't have any stamps I haven't used (except the SU! demo gift

), but I'm sure I have some embellishments that I haven't used! Thanks Jen and Deloris....sounds like fun!

rainy · 01-04-2007

Jen this challenge is so perfect for me. I was cleaning up my stamping space just yesterday because I had bought some MORE stuff that needed a place to be and in so doing I found tons of unused things that have just been collecting dust. In fact it was on the discovery of all this unused stuff as I was putting away the MORE stuff that I realized I really do have a serious problem.... *sigh*

I have no idea where to begin. I think that if I made cards 24-7 for the rest of my life I would still have unused stuff. I have over 20 unmounted sets and I just ordered 25 more sets! Is there a doctor in the house?

pammyrn · 01-04-2007

OMG I too have so many stamps I have never used and I admit I keep buying more and more. I tell myself it is for my retirement in about 25 years. OK so how do I pick which one to use I have so many. Maybe I will close my eyes and turn around three times and pick one.

Thanks Jen for a great challenge.

rainy · 01-04-2007

hehe... I just thought of something. Today's challenge should be called the *UN-limited supply challenge*

jojot · 01-04-2007

oh my goodness.......I will have to take a selection of unused stamps and do a goodie bag pick.......I could do weeks of challenges with some of the ones I just had to have and just never got around to using.............great challenge, Jen (probably one you could repeat many times)..................Happy New Year...

LaurieF · 01-04-2007

Oh man, this challenge was made for me Jen!

I am horrible for hoarding my supplies. I have a ton of liquid applique that I bought last year and I finally got around to using it this week. I bought the Like It a Latte set for the purpose of using my liquid applique.
I am planning on cleaning up and organizing my stamp room this weekend so I just imagine what other little goodies I will find in there that have been collecting dust! LOL

Here is a link to my card:

Awesome challenge, Jen!! Just the nudge I needed - I used all new stamps on my card and my pearl ex for the first time!!

New blossoms

cathymac · 01-05-2007

What a great challenge for the new year, Jen. I've been stamping for ten years and must have tons of unmounted stamp sets! I've been buying the extra large, thinner plastic cases to combine sets to make more room on my shelves! Will have to work on this over the weekend...right now, off to correct some papers!
