Old and New -

I remember living in Utah where I started to scrapbook - I had already rubber stamped and had all these goodies I simply didn't know what to do with!  I went out all the time with my sister and spent so much money it wasn't funny!!!  I don't even think I used even half the supplies I bought - other than cardstock and adhesive that is, until recently!  Now, I try to purchase only what I need for my own personal stuff, and what I need to create with - I really don't purchase anything extra anymore!!!  
What about you guys - do you purchase everything out there known to mankind and paper crafters everywhere, or do you selectively look at each item you do purchase a bit more?  I used to purchase everything, now I am selective - and love to mix both new supplies, with old supplies to create something fun and one of a kind!  
A bit of a challenge for you this weekend:

• Grab something old and add it to something new - can be cardstock, paper, embellishments, stickers - anything old and add it to new!  
• Make a project with 70% old supplies and 30% new, can be anything you want - cards, mini albums, bookmarks, etc!
• Take scraps of paper from older projects - and add them to new paper - whether you do a paper piecing pattern, use punches and stamps - and make something unique!!!

Mix the old supplies up with the new supplies, and make something fun!  There are plenty of holiday's coming up, start to make a list of things you need to get done!  I hope you join me!

Thanks for stopping by,
