Left Out 1/4/17 to 1/10/17

I'm happy to say that this was a difficult challenge...I've used way more of my complete sets than I gave myself credit for. I was finding the ones most unused were words/phrases (which remained unused for a reason). I finally came across this American Crafts set that several stamps were unused.

Elaine, great looking card and color combo....it reminds me of "Spring".....well done

I like seeing these cards from the Island of the Lost Toys! We all need to do this more often. I confess to being impulsive when I buy stamps. (Gasp, No!!!?) I bought this little set at least two years ago and never used it until today. I finally came up with a bright idea for using the whole set. This is Gabe's valentine from Grandma and Grandpa. The inside says. "Whether you are Hot, Cool, Sweet or Cheesy, we love you." The wheel really spins.

Oh my gosh Ellie, that's so cute! Good job on finally using the set!

Elaine, love the sweet whimsy of your card.
Ellie, Gabe is gonna love that interactive card! You are a creative Grandma!

I've had this set for a few years and have used the typewriter and a few of the sentiments. But... was fun to put a few more of the stamps to work. The wonderful typewriter ribbon sticker was in a prize packet from Golda. It added the perfect touch. (And I got to use some washi tape. Woo hoo. I have a ton of that stuff!)

Kathy, great job on creating a cute card from that unused resource. I like that little notebook paper stamp and it's perfect for that tag. That secretarial tag is the bomb and is a great accent. Nice job kiddo!

Kathy, that is darling! You should use that set more often, said the pot to the kettle. :lol:

I am loving all of these.

Elaine, that is so bright and cheerful! Glad you have used most of your stamps, but found one to put to good use.

Ellie, what a wonderful card! Perfect for your grandson, who, I'm sure, will love making it spin. (At least, I would!)

Kathy, that is a wonderful card! So glad you got to use more of your stamps from that set. I really like the typewriter. Glad you were able to use fun little "prize" in such a great way.

When I first started making cards, I kept buying magazines that had "extras" with purchase. This stamp set is from the Queen's Diamond Jubilee...I love using the Queen for the Day Stamp but the others have never been used until today.
