You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
It�s my turn to host the Free 4 All Friday Challenge this week.
We all have a stash of something crafty... like dew drops in 20 colors, 15 jars of Stickles, 8 squillion paper flowers and buttons.
My challenge to you is to take a look at what you've been collecting (or even collected a year or two ago) and use it on your project. Extra bonus points if you use more than one type of stashed treasures.

Jeanne, you know us stampers well.....stashes of everything, everywhere! : ) One of my big space-takers is ribbon....and I rarely use it anymore. The other is stamps that I buy and then don't use. Thanks for the push.
I was just rummaging through a lot of my stash as I looked for a specific embellishment yesterday (which I never did find). I was thinking to myself, self, you've got a lotta stuff! Thanks for the push to use some of it....hopefully I'll be back later with a card.
Jeanne- great challenge, I love to use my stash for inspiration I found this cute ladybug image from TAC's Buggy Boxes set, and added some diagonal strips of washi tape, some die cut/brad combos, and a bow/button combo. Here's It's A New Day

Thank you, Jeanne, for the wonderful challenge! I need to get rid of my stash so I can buy new crafty goodness (not that I ever stopped but I need the room)
Here's my card. Extra points for me as I used 3 items from my stash of collected and forgotten items.
I dug out one of my many embossing folders- used Sizzix's Dot Matrix- and added some beads and gems to my reverse cut panel for my stamped and colored image. Here's Friendly Coffee

Here's my card for today's use that stash challenge. I've had these pearl and rhinestone frames for over a year!! Thanks for making me use them today!! Well, one of them anyway!
I made this card for the F4A challenge to use your stash. The digital stamp I had for probably a year and stamped it, but never colored it. The butterfly I had since Christmas and never used it. Same with the paper.
Its so funny that we go thru phases and collect something madly for a time.
Here's my Paper Smooches phase: Get Well Botanicals
and here's twine from my Doodlebug phase: Feel Better botanicals
Thanks, Jeanne. This was a great challenge. I was able to use up pieces of DS paper from three retired packs, two of which are years old, and a spool of ribbon that I'd bought on sale and never opened. The card is also for CC481, this week's color challenge, and also an older sketch challenge, SC436.
Thanks for the challenge. The hardest thing was picking WHICH Crafty Stash to use LOL (please tell me I am not alone?!) - but in the end, I chose my butterfly dies. I LOVE butterfly dies and have quite a stash of them in all different brands and just keep buying them 'cos they're so pretty - but I keep forgetting to use them and because I don't usually embellish my cards very much, they just don't see to "fit" anywhere - so I made a HUGE effort to use some and here is the result:
