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!
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!

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: Oldies but Goodies by lazylizard at Splitcoaststampers

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.
Just went through some things in my stamp area, and there are lots to choose from. Can't wait to play this great challenge!

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. :p Thanks for such a fun challenge!

Here's mine -- I used retired stamps, paper and ink, plus old ribbon and an old punch!!! Actually, I made this card BEFORE I read the challenge -- how PERFECT!!!
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!
Yeah!!! Got a little time to play thanks to Fay...no school for the past four days but finally got in some stamping time today! Awesome challenge....makes me want to go back in my room and stir up even more dust!! Here's mine....LSC182 hedgie halloween leaves by icensheba at Splitcoaststampers
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: Love, Old and Torn by gregzgurl at Splitcoaststampers
Thanks for looking!
Hi....Great challenge! I don't enjoy making sympathy cards, but today, I had to....Our neighbor's dog lost his life during the storm last night....My neighbor is so very upset, as are Markie and I....
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. Glitter & Lace
