Using your Stash!

So I saw this page on Pinterest and loved it! It was from Stacey Cohen's blog! I have a hard time though putting just two small pictures on a page.  The two picture I put on here were all I had from that occasion and Icould trim them down small to work perfectly!  I wanted a fun paper that had orange in it and our retired You Rock paper was just what I needed! I dug deep for the stickers that became the title and the bright blue was actually some paper I bought from Creative Memories!

Figuring out the angles was a little interesting but I just made the first row and made it work from there!  If you notice I used very little patterned paper.  I chose this paper and I am down to the bottom of the barrel on it!  You can do three things at that point,  make cards, toss it or find fun ways to incorporate it into layouts just using small pieces, maybe even combining paper packs!

How do you use your stash!?  Or do you just collect?  I want to challenge you to use old papers and embellishments on a layout or card with nothing new!  Can you do it?  Email me a picture and I will add it to this post!
