1/15 F4A308 New Stamps Stashed Away
 

Hello, it is Shirley aka wannabcre8tive posting. It is my turn to host the Free 4 All challenge this week.

Do you have NEW Unused Stamps Stashed away? You know those stamps you couldn't live without? Those stamps that you put to the side to use one day soon and that day has not come yet. I must confess that I have quite a few of them. That is the challenge today, dig out a new/unused stamp and make a card. If you do not have a new/unused stamp, then pick a stamp that you have not used in a very long time.

Today Vicky Gould is my guest for the challenge. Thanks, Vicky.

HAHA. Why YES I do! haha..great challenge. I'm off to plot!

Unfortunately, I need to acknowledge I have so many new/unused stamps that I really don't know what I have. Yes, they are all the stamps I didn't think I could live without, but, apparently, I have learned to live without. Great challenge, Shirley. Thanks. You've now forced me to go look through (if I can find) them.

This is what happens when you can't sleep! Great challenge Shirley! Here's just one of many unused, but still loved stamps:

Fun challenge...who doesn't love playing with new stamps!

here is my card:

Lots of Love

Great idea for a challenge...think most of us have some stamp "we had to have" and then let it sit once we got it. Thanks.

PEONIES AND BUTTERFLY

Thank you Shirley and Vicky for lessening my 'stash guilt' today!

F4A308, Mix155, On the Lookout by Holstein - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Wonderful challenge for me to use this darling stamp from my HYCCT gift certificate. I needed a couple of quick birthday cards for some little boys. Here is my cards:

F4A308 Happy Birthday Boys! by Shoe Girl - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Dance like nobody's watching and on the inside I put: "And pray that no one is!"

MIX155: Using water color or ink pads (I used ink pads and water).

F4A308: Use a new stamp I have had for awhile. (Leaves)

Both are fantastic challenges today!!

Thanks for a great challenge. Here's my card:

I am late. Here is a journaling page using stamps from two sets I have never used!

I hope you'll excuse the fact that there is not a stamp in sight on my card but as I stitch all my cards I interpreted this challenge to be "using something new" and this pattern is new to me! Swirly Heart by must love cats - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Thank you for this challenge!! I have far too many stamps that fall into this category. :)

So I used two!

You're Stinkin' Cute!

This is a great challenge for me! Thanks!

Garden Collage

I am loving this new stamp set, and the sentiment too! Fun challenge!
