"Use Your Stash" Challenge Free {ippity}!!!!/FWF Friday

Post your creation here with your "stash" item and get a chance to win some FREE {IPPITY} stamps!!!!!
Winner announced on Monday {ippity} post!

Who among you can say with all honesty that you don't have a stash of some papercrafting supplies? Come on...admit it! I am among those individuals who, frankly, has more than she needs. (This does not keep me from collecting more...) Maybe I am the only one...yeah, didn't think so. I would love you to join me on an adventure through unopened packages of embellishments, stamps that have never seen ink, pricey designer papers hidden on shelves and all the other things we swore we would use "some day". During this trip, we may discover creativity in places we would have never expected. Inspiration among the clutter.

My challenge to you...grab something...anything that you have horded or just "had to have" and have yet to use. Use that item(s) as your inspiration for a creation to post in the comments section here for all to see!

I would think, for most of us, this would be something fairly simple to do every week. A challenge that may help to dwindle the extras if only get more treasures to add to the pile. ;)

My item for today is...
Stickles
I probably have 20+ bottles and only use about 2-3 of them on a regular basis.

Supplies
Stamps: March In-store KOM (Unity)
Ink: Tuxedo Black
Paper: Kraft, Amuse Kitchen
Accessories: Stickles, Glossy Accents, Nestabilities, Gemstones, Butterfly Embosslits (SU), Copics

A Stamper's Confession

So, how many of you purchase stamps/stamp sets and let them set for, oh, say a year, then pull them out for the first time? I, shamefully, have with this stamp set. I was intrigued by the samples posted on SCS last fall and "had" to have the set. After one long year and a color challenge I am posting my first sample of this retired set!

One thing I was happy to conquer in the card was doing a 5X5 card and using a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the majority of the background. I wish they came in squares!

Supplies:

Stamps: Gives Thanks (SU)
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Going Grey, Charcoal Palette, Green Galore
Paper: Riding Hood Red, Going Grey, White, Sweetie Pie DP (Cosmo Cricket)
Accessories: White Gel Pen, Sakura Stardust Gel Pen, Aquapainter, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder Leaves, Filigree Brads, Nestabilities

Dare to Be Fabulous

Can a bride-to-be "dare to be fabulous"? I don't know, but I thought I would go non-traditional. She loves all things pink as I found out when I went to Sur La Table to pick up a shower gift. She had registered for pink sparkly spatulas and a pink whistling tea kettle. I have to say I found several things at Sur La Table that I would love too!! I resisted. Good me.

Ok, I can do the sparkly that's for sure! Although, I couldn't do the graduation of pinks I was hoping to do. I am out of my favorite Regal Rose paper. :(

Supplies
Stamps: Fabulous Flowers
Ink: Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Palette Charcoal
Paper: Basic Gray, Rose Red, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White
Accessories: Sakura Stardust Gel Pen Clear, Rhinestones, Brads, Square Punch
