January 2015 Challenge (prize winner on page 8)

[pamcook]

Choose a package of letters, die cuts, ephemera, stickers - whatever to use up this month. It can be a partial package or a brand new one. I don't care and the point is to use it up!

You must tell us what you're going to use and post photos of how you've used it. Please do so during the month to show your progress.

I'm going to use up the rest of my Elle Studio Christmas die cuts. I've used a few in my Journal Your Christmas project. It would be too easy to put them in my stash but they need to be used up!

Who wants to join? There might be a prize involved at the end of the month...

[Laurie]

I will. I need to finish using last month's Studio Calico kit.

[Debbie J]

I'll join in, but the prize better not be a letter set! I have enough to choke a goat! I bet if I placed them end on end they would reach the moon.........

[paddlegal]

I'm in! I will use up the last two months of my TSOL card kits.

I'll join in... I have enough letter sets to last a lifetime.

[paddlegal]

I hope a whole kit qualifies for this challenge. My TSOL kits are piling up and need to be used. So I plan on taking these two most recent kits and getting cards made using all the doodads, ribbons, washi tape and patterned paper that comes each month.

I hope I can play along. Trying to put away Christmas now and then time to start packing up for putting the house on the market. I have tons Of Designer Papers from Stampin' Up! and maybe I can use one pack to make some cards (like I really need more cards )

[pamcook]

Farley, a whole kit qualifies (you over-achiever, you! )

Speaking of over-achieving, I added one more piece from that pack after I posted the photo. I've enjoyed using those die cuts. They're whimsical without looking silly and the colors work well with everything. The tags are from the same collection but a different pack. If I finish the die cuts early in the month, I'll challenge myself to use up the tags as well.

[mpizzazz]

Good challenge idea, Pam! I'll be thinking of what I can use up while our company is here.

Farley, what does TSOL stand for?

[Monica]

TSOL= The Stamps Of Life.

I'll have to think about this. It's not that I don't have (way) too much stuff to use up, it's narrowing it down!

[Keitha]

Great challenge! I need to find a pack of something I can play with.

[pamcook]

Put some packages in a bag, close your eyes and grab one out.

Are my layouts posting side-ways?

[nancine]

this layout is sideways, but I just turned my head, It is fantastic!!

I will look when I get home tonight and decide what mine will be! Thanks Pam for this challenge!
