Stash Busting 2016 - I WILL use my mountains of craftstash before buying more!

Tiggermad

I'd like to join in but without a target as I tend to put too much pressure on myself if I have a target to meet and inevitably I'll fail!

Looking forward to chatting with like minded people and getting inspired to use up stash and hopefully when I feel the urge to spend a place to come to get a reality check!

I have so much stash I could make something everyday for the rest of my life and I would probably still have stuff left over!

Can I join again please, I aim for 25 items from my stash. I make all my own cloths and soft furnishings now, so I will try to get my stash used up this year.
To day I sorted out a huge amount for a local school after I it advertised on the local free cycle site. Its good that they will make use of it. There is so much stuff that I feel I should give away but it ends up back in the cupboard as it may come in.

I'm in again and I'll aim for 100 this year.

I've made a cushion cover (of US and GB flags) for my brother's birthday and edged my coat with bias binding so I'll count that as 2 so far. I'll post a picture of the cushion soon.

I wrote a long post yesterday but the computer ate it! I'm joining in but haven't fully thought through any targets and rules yet.

Hi everyone, I'm back!

I'm going to count items used up because it'll give me a big boost because I'll get big numbers quite quickly! I'm just a bairn at heart!

For example (as a start), I made 2 cards tonight. I used 2 cards, 2 envelopes , ribbon, gems (I did think about it, but I'm not counting each individual gem - there were 9 btw lol), a sheet of backing paper, mirri card, glitter card, tape and foam pads, do that'll be 12 towards my total. As a result, I think I'd better join crafting mad with the daft total of 2016!

Debbi Moore cards by Bobbie Doctor, on Flickr

These were made from just a teeny bit of a huge stash of Debbi Moore magazines that I've hardly touched, never mind used the CDs - oh and don't talk to me about craft CDs; that's a whole other issue!
Actually, I think I may be craftingmad's long lost twin! I had the same issues about buying craft stuff because I liked the look of it. I bought it and put it away. Also I bought a whole bunch of Project Life stuff about 2 years ago - it's still in a drawer. I did decide how I wanted to start my scrapbook ( not really doing a commentary in the way it was designed). I also bought the Heartfelt Creations dies that make layouts dead easy - or they would if I'd use them! This year ....
