OK stampers, let's clear the dust off the stamps you have never used or hardly ever use. And then keep dusting!
Step 1: Find an image stamp you have never used (not a new one) or hardly ever use.
Step 2: Find some rarely used BG stamps and a sentiment if your set doesn't include these already.
Step 3: Choose your colors. Try to use a color or colors you hardly ever use.
Step 4: Find a tool or some embellishments you hardly ever use.
Step 5: Create your card and upload it. Please put LSC73 in the keyword box. In the comments, please tell us what you used on your card that is rarely used by you.
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!

Girl, you are really gonna make us work on this one, aren't you? I wanna use my NEW stamps, not the old ones! Good challenge, Jen.
LOL! It was a challenge for me too... I just had Mr. Brown deliver 10 new sets, today. I didn't mount any of them until I was done with the sample. It was soooo hard!

WooHoo Jen! Glad you got your order!! (I confess all of mine aren't mounted yet, but I did two while watching my daughter's swim lesson today.)
You are a meanie ;) for making us use old stamps though!
Thanks for the inspirational challenge - I have not used some of this in a long, long time. I really enjoyed making this card. Waiting for DD's, so I thought I would do some stamping.
I did use warm words, but it was in my starter kit order and is ~old~ now. ;) I just had to try these words with baby. Tag Alongs is the source of the baby pin stamp I used to create a background. I prefer the fluffy lamb from Everyday Celebrations for baby cards so this giraffe from Little Hellos doesn't see much ink--my time posted a card using it with the punch recently so I got that idea from her. I seldom use a dark blue brad or a WHITE mat behind a colored cs front. TFL!
Forgot-I've never used brilliant blue and yoyo yellow. Not just not together-I've never used either one, and I've had them for about 3 months in card stock.
So, I got one done in less than 2 hours! LOL. I've never used this retired stamp set...so figured it would work. I haven't used these colors in a very long time nor the crimper or punch or cord...so, it all works for the challenge! I probably should have mounted the saying on a lighter color so it would scan better, but IRL it looks fine, so that is just the way it goes. Now, who to give it too...

Well, good grief! I was just scanning my gallery and realized I have used Night of Navy in the last month or so....I didn't remember using it...oh well, if I get a chance I'll do another one, but I'm going to bed now, my grandkids are coming to stay the weekend and will be here early. Stamping will have to wait for a day or two now.

This has been a great challenge. I used several pieces that have been stuck on my peg board gathering dust. The layout is one I use a lot but I had to have something to work with. The backgound stamps I used don't show up well in the scan.

Just saw your posting comment - what a nice idea you have there - I shall try and remember to open each card you post and comment on it. Thanks for thinking of others! You are an inspiration.

Good challenge. I have some old sets lent to me by a fellow worker. I'll have to dig one out that I haven't used. See what I can come up with when I get home from work.
Great challenge Jen. I'm off to find some dust and fun. But coffee is needed first before any challenges can happen!! LOL

What a great challenge. I am a great stamp collector...I have so many sets that I just had to have that have not even been mounted yet. You can imagine how many that's been over the past ten years...and once I get them I cannot bring myself to trade them or sell them. Help...I'm running out of room! LOL! I'll just close my eyes and pick one! Thanks, Jen!
This is going to be a fun challenge. I just have a few minutes to look at some cards, My company went home this morning but two of my grandchildrenare coming to spend the morning with me. Maybe I can make one this afternoon. Thanks Jen and Dawn for thinking of this one.
