It's the 7th of the month. Yesterday was the day for the Unused No More Challenge but I'm a day late as yesterday was a DT day on my blog. Not sure what the Unused No More Challenge is? Knowing we have stamps and other products we've not used, Barb created the idea for this challenge and invited others to join her in the fun.
The challenge each month is to pick a stamp set, stencil, die, hot foil or press plate (or maybe something else I have not thought of) that you have not used yet—still new in the package or your storage choice.
Make a card or another project, giftable, ATC, etc. with the new item and now it is used!
This challenge is exactly what I need! I'm not going to name how many unused stamps I have (not to mention dies, embossing folders, stencils, etc.) but I will tell you this - over 35% of the stamp sets I own are currently unused (at least by me - some of them I have purchased second-hand). That's ridiculous! I need an intervention and Barb has created it for me. It's called Unused No More.
I made a card this month using the Penny Black Flower Festival stamp. I got it several months ago when I just happened to be in a Goodwill store about an hour from our home. In fact, I got a whole box full of name brand stamps and dies for just a few dollars. I was so excited - but apparently not excited enough to use them. Sheesh.
Well, at least this one is Unused No More.
There are several of us in this group, but these are the ones that have blogs if you'd like to check out their Unused No More cards/projects:
