Stash Overload Update

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I've joined a type of swap that our items are made of supplies we already have and not buying anything.  I had joined a Thanksgiving Bounty Swap in which we made 8x8 layouts and had posted a pic of my pages in an earlier post.  I got that swap back today and scrapped two covers and backs and made albums for my two oldest sons and their families.  Here's the cover I made..the second is identical.

And...here is my actual count and list of items I've completed since October 6, 2009 (that's just in TWO MONTHS!):

46 8x8 layouts
two 6x6 lo
140 ATCs
119 6x6 recieps
1 TP Tag
1 mini album/cookbook - 6x6
28 cards
7 GIFTS - two 8x8 albums, 2 CD albums, 1 CD hanger, 2 6x6 albums, 1 TP roll mini album

AND...I still have TONS of stash supplies till!  I hadn't realized how much stuff I actually had until I started this challenge!

What can YOU do with your onhand supply of stuff?

2010 May calendar page and cover

I'm soooo proud of myself.  I'm in a "stash overload" challenge where I create things using my stash and/or scraps.  Been at it a couple of weeks and I've made quite a few things...and even completed some swaps I am in!  Here's my list of items so far:

67 6x6 recipe cards
30 ATCs (NOT including the ATC Jams I an finishing up)
2 6x6 scrapbook layouts fpr grand daughters' albums
1 TP roll gift tag
38 8x8 layouts - I've posted two of them - Thanksgiving Bounty and January 2010

Here are the May pages for the calendar and the cover (had to make two covers because I'd taken two spots).

Here's the tag I made out of a toilet paper roll.  There is a great tutorial at a-scapaddict.blogspot

and it's really easy.

I'm still working on items...a 6x6 recipe book is in the works and, of course, finishing up my grand daughters' little albums.  Got to get ready for the holidays!

2010 Calendar Page

Here's a pic of an 8x8 calendar page for January 2010.  I needed to make 12 for a calendar swap. I'm working on the month of May now (took 2 spots in the swap).  I love the little polar bear!

Stash projects

I am in several swaps for 8x8 pages and ATCs.  When I join a swap, my first response is to go shopping for supplies.  As a result, I have tons of papers and embellishments that I'd forgotten I have (sound familiar?).  My self-challenge is to make my seap items with supplies I already have on hand.  I have made 6 8x8 two-page layouts and 20 ATCs...so far.  I'm working on 12 calender pages and will post them when I finish them :)  The Paisley shapes on the Minnie ATCs are cut with the Spellbinders sets.

First I have a Thanksgiving Bounty swap...I chose Recipe Traditions:
