Sorting out my stash.

For challenge number 38 on Creative Inspirations challenge blog the challenge is to use the oldest thing in your stash.  This took some thinking about.  Would that be paper, ink, stamp or some embellishment hidden away?  If it was a paper then it's most likely hidden under all the other papers because I just didn't like it but I was a card maker before I was a scrapbooker so I imagined it would be a stamp.  So then I got to thinking what was my first stamp and that was a real tough question.  There were several which it could possible have been but I pinned it down eventually to this butterfly stamp from Inka who are sadly no longer around.  Once I'd got it out and started to play around with it I did start to wonder why I'd left it in the bottom of the stamp drawer at all. It's a gorgeous stamp and fitted right in with my newer and more up to date papers too. 

I challenge you to look through your stash and pull out the oldest thing you have and play around with it, then submit  your art work to the Creative Inspirations challenge blog and you could win yourself a prize. 

It's actually quite rewarding too to go through your stash every so often as you turn up stuff you'd totally forgotten about, plus you get to have a jolly good sort out too!!
