Two weeks ago, I signed up for an online class from a U.K. scrapbooker named Shimelle:
For only $15, Shimelle sends wonderful ideas 3x each week to my email inbox on how to use my scrapbooking STASH. Hence the class title, "Something From Almost Nothing". She has an ongoing project that you can make now or later (for me, that is LATER as I have a bit going on right now). For the other classmates, she has a forum for posting comments, chatting about your stash or posting things you have made with your personal stash. She is still adding people to the class if you are interested...
Shimelle also has a great blog-- if you are into crafting, you will love it!
I made one item recently that incorporated the concept of only using my STASH: (insert horns blowing here... ) TA DAAAAAAA!
It is a magnetic calendar. You start out with a aluminum 12" x 12" sheet that is printed with a generic monthly grid. You make a monthly title and then you create a bunch of magnets to become the days of the month. Some are numbered, some are not. It is another project where anything goes!!
The best part of all was that I didn't have to buy anything to make it (almost, I did run out of magnets). I glued large magnets onto the back of the metal sheet and now it is hanging on the freezer that is in my sewing room (in progress). Sometimes we all need a little kick in the pants to use what we already have and this was JUST the kick that I needed... :)
