    Confession time. I have enough papers in both my digi and "real world" stash to last beyond my centennial birthday. Most times, I am fine with that, because my tastes change and new designs capture my heart and imagination. But sometimes, that stack of unused papers from the 1990s starts getting me feeling a little, well, guilty. Not a fun feeling. Here's one way I have found to battle the stash monster and turn dated papers into designs that are more in line with my current tastes: I cut them up!

    I hear ya. My stash is more digital because I learned my lesson long ago on hording real world supplies.. but same idea. I go back and look at some stuff I loved ten years ago and now think - what am I going to do with this.... You have now provided some great inspiration and ideas. think digital. load the paper (or whatever) - create a mask and cut away.... also good to print and cut without buying new supplies. - thanks.
