LSC182 - Oldies But Goodies!
Yay! It's my turn to host the Limited Supply Challenge! Ready? I'm posting early because I'm up late!
You know you've got them -- old stamps that you just won't get rid of, but you don't use either. How long has it been - 2 months? 6 months? A year? Well, this week I want you to go get them out.  And while you are digging, get out some old dp, and some cardstock in colors you don't normally use, too!
My challenge to you is simple: You have to make a card with a things you haven't used in awhile. I don't mean a week or two. I'm talking months. Years, even! The more things you use that you've been neglecting, the more bonus points you get, lol! So try not to bust out the Copics - go for your WWC, or your pencils, or something else that is gathering dust 
Here are this week's guidelines, in a nutshell:
Stamps: anything unused (NOT new, it has to be a set you haven't inked up recently)
Paper: Something you've been hoarding
Ink: any
Embellies: Again, try for things you've been hoarding!
My Sample: Real Summer BBQ
Victoria's sample: Beets and Buttons

Uploading: Remember the keyword is without spaces. Use a comma between keywords with a space after each comma.
If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping!
Need help linking a card? Follow these instructions!
1. Open 2 windows: One window for your card and one for this thread.
2. In this thread, click on reply and type anything you want to show before the link.
3. Got to your card window. Highlight the address for your card. (It says www. splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto..... and so on)
4. Click EDIT. Click COPY
5. Go back to this thread. Click PASTE.
You’re done!

It's way past my bedtime, and I thought I had pulled out some going gray paper because I never use it, but turns out it was blue buckaroo. Is it time for bed or what?? Here's my late night effort:

Here's another from me:
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...0&ppuser=49997
I dug out my rarely used chalks for this card---I have no idea why but I almost never use my chalks! They're so pretty too.
Thanks for the challenge, Taylor!

Happy jumps here - off for the weekend in about two hours and I didn't think I'd get to play, but that should give me time - and it sounds like fun, too.

Great challenge! This should be something that keeps me from going on a shopping trip for something new.

Oh this is going to be fun. Since I've been unmounting stamps, I've been wanting to use the oldies again. However, I may have to use my Copics because I got rid of my pencils, WWC, and chalks.  Thanks for such a fun challenge! |

My son was injured in a bicycle accident last Friday and is undergoing his 4th surgery today (prayer please) - he will be in the recovery stages for up to a year and off work. This simple card is a mother's plea to her son!

Oh, I like this challenge. I saw a cute card the other day that someone posted in the gallery using SU's A Little Love set. It reminded me that that was one of my first sets and it definitely has not seen ink in a very long time. I will try to challenge my self to use that along with some paper and embellishments I just had to have and are sitting in a drawer. Thanks for hosting and suggesting it.

Great challenge! I've been trying to use things I've been hoarding, anyway (the only New Year's resolution I've actually kept...), but I put a bunch all on this card:

This was an oldie but not so goodie...probably will be another 10 years if I ever do it again!  It sparkles like crazy IRL but the pic doesn't capture it.
