Lisa The challenge would last from today until February 28, 2013. There is no theme. You are encouraged to post any/all projects that are made using your stash on a separate thread in this forum. I will link your posts to the "Using My Stash" main thread. You are encouraged to post a thread of your project/s in the appropriate forums on the message board! Those that have blogs can put a 'teaser' picture on your thread and have a link to the complete project on your blog. You will need to put "Using My Stash" somewhere in the title of your thread. That way, I can hunt for these threads and link them to the "Using My Stash" thread. I hope this makes sense!!  All of these posts/threads will add new life to the message board and get our creativity flowing!!

I may be in, but I need more info. Are we just making items we would normally be working on any way, as long as the supplies come from our stash? Then, we post the project to the appropriate thread on the MB, including "Using My Stash" in the title. Then, you will link our post to this one? Do I have this right? You are not going to have any particular themes, just that the project has to be made from our stash, right? Sorry if I sound cluless. If those are the rules, I am in. When do we start posting, and how often do we have to have a project posted? GG (BTW...I do not have a blog.)

You create items just as you would normally be making any way, just use everything from your stash! Post the project on this forum first, with "Using My Stash" in the heading. That way I can keep up with all the posts and put the links in the main thread. Then, post your project into the appropriate forum. The challenge started yesterday..Jan 4! I will add your name to the list! A blog isn't necessary...at all! Start posting your wonderful projects!! Be sure to add "Using My Stash" to your title! This is a great way to add life and creativity to the Chat forum and the Project forums!! Carolyn/MamaC

I'd like to participate; using my stash is one of my goals for this year. Just one question though - each time we post a project do we start a new thread or just keep adding to the original one we started? TIA And my blog is under construction so no link at this time (that's another of my crafty goals!) Edited by user Thursday, January 10, 2013 9:07:50 AM(UTC)

Please start a new thread in this forum for each project (then post the appropriate forum for the project). Be sure to indicate somewhere in the title that you are using your stash! I will add your name to the list.

I can't post pics because I'm still on 35mm (don't anybody DARE laugh ) But I found an old SEI kit I was gifted by somebody that had calenders in in and I made bunch this weekend!
1. Stand-up perpetual calender
2. 12-day countdown calender in a page protector
3. 4x6" pocket calender (renumbered from 2011)
4. 8x8" wall calender (also renumbered)
Then I neatly gathered up my leftover stickers, diecuts and paper and put them in a ziplock bag back into my scrap stash, where they might get used up! Yippee!!
NGGG

I saw our hostess had not had time to link them yet, but wanted you to know I had made 2 more stash posts. I posted another card I made - a b-day card for my nephew, which uses Everyday Paper Dolls, and is a spinner card. It is posted under Cricut Chat and under Cards. I also made the Bride Bear from Teddy Bear Parade. I made her for the now defunct Teddy Bear Swap on the Message Board. Since that swap is no longer happening, I decided to enter my Bride bear in the contest Melody Lane is having on her blog. Voting begins on Jan. 28th, so if you all would not mind checking out her blog on that date, I would appreciate it. And, if you think my bear deserves a vote, could you do so? She is the fifth bear right now....she has pearl earrings and a sparkly, glittered bridal gown. She also has blush on her cheeks. She is posted under the Cricut Chat thread here on the Message Board as well...topic: Using My Stash, Teddy Bear. Thanks for looking! Blessings, GG.

Here is a card I made for my dear sister in Christ who has been having a rough time health wise lately. I wanted to cheer her up, so I have been sending her a card every week. I made the hat pins for the feathers on the bird's head. The bird is from Florals Embellished. GG url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/92072372@N04/8367737824/]  [/url] Untitled by w8in4godot, on Flickr

BTT to update! Long time overdue! Sorry! Life has been hectic! I had to buy stuff for some adult papercrafting classes that I teach, but all my personal projects are still using my stash! Now, off to look for "Using My Stash" projects! Thanks for the encouragement, Godot's Girl!
