Stashbusting in 2013

  I have too much stuff!!! There I said it. I came acrossed this article again recently & I decided that I just have to do something about the state of my stash. http://organizedscrapbooks.com/article71.html Luckily there are quite a few challenges going on this year for stashbusting.

Of course there's the counterfeit kit challenge.
And the scrap our stash blog.
There is a free class at Two peas called scrap-your-stash.
And a weekly thread by one of the Peas. You'll have to look for the current thread each week.
And scrappypedia is hosting a use your stash kit club.
  Lots of inspiration & people to chat with who get that you can't always say no when the pretty paper(ribbon,washi,bling,whatever) calls your name. ;)
  I'm posting a list ,in my sidebar, of the # of layouts,minis,cards & amount of stash used. I'm hoping to create a noticable dent in my stash by the end of the year. Epecially my papers. I'm a little embarrassed by how much I have accumulated.

Use it up December

I went to work on my November kit & realised I've got 7 other kits sitting here not used up. Including two that I never got posted on here. So I decided to put some effort into finishing those kits up. I did get some stuff done, and then CKC posted their idea for finishing stuff up in December. YAY! I'm hoping to get some pages done and get the rest into page kits with the pictures & a sketch at the very least.
