We are so excited to share our latest crash course with you! Do you have an overflowing area of paper crafting supplies taking up space in your home? Have you ever found yourself unable to use that precious product that you love too much to cut up? Elise found herself in a similar position in the fall of 2013 as she moved the same boxes of scrapbooking supplies, yet again. This prompted her to find ways to create projects she was proud of out of all the stuff she was hoarding, and thus Use Your Stash was born. 🙂
•Tips and advice to help you organize and set goals to use your stash
•15 projects to help you use up beloved products such as: pattern paper, washi tape, letter stickers, and embellishments
•Tips for creating cohesive designs using seemingly random products
•Bonus projects throughout!
Use Your Stash is a “work at your own pace” crash course. After purchase you’ll have access to the course through your account at Shop ABM. We’ve included a PDF of the entire course in case you wish to own a printed copy. The course costs $8 USD.

This sounds really interesting! I think I could use a whole course just on visually storing all my art supplies. I keep them all hidden so it doesn’t feel cluttered but then I never know what I have! I love these photos!

Perfect! I NEED this course – bad! Thanks for the awesome price point too! 🙂
You mean scrapbooking paper and washi tape is meant to be used???! 🙂 Great course idea!
I definitely need a de-stash! This sounds perfect for me. xxx
I have so many craft items – I always store them thinking i’ll use them ‘one day’ 😉

This is a great idea for a course! I’m totally guilty of hoarding items that are just too perfect for the projects that I have already completed.

Cool collaboration (I love Elise’s blog too!). And clearing out my craft clutter is exactly what I need to do.

Oh I can’t wait! I have so much stuff at work and at home.
This is sooo needed! I have so much stuff that I love but it just sits in my closet.
This couldddd be just the thing I need to kick myself out of my scrapbooking hesitation. 😉 I’ve got materials out the wazoo that I’ve been hoarding for ages, and just loaded up on Project Life stuff. It’s about time I did something with it all!
I am DELIGHTED about this course! My main squeeze is headed off to a deployment, and I need a whole lot of fun crafties to work on. It helps to already have a lot of items, and need projects to do them with!!
I love Elise and pretty much everything that she touches. This seems like the perfect course for my mom who is the Queen of Hoarding Craft Supplies.

Do you guys have an idea on what basic stash that we need to buy in the first instance?
Oh! This is a great idea!

Yes, please. I took an e-course on mini-books from Elise a few years ago. She is an excellent teacher. Can’t wait to see this one.
More than anything, I feel encouraged knowing I’m not the only one who does this! Does the course also have a section as a support group for craft hoarders? 🙂
This course might be the one for me. Seeing as I have probably more supplies than I’ll ever use at this point hah!
Such a good idea. I need to organize my stuff and then see what I could make out of it. Just have to make it a priority, I suppose!
Um…I’m pretty sure Elise created this course specifically for me! My craft supply hoard is out.of.control! What a great idea, ladies. Definitely going to check this one out! Xx.
what a great idea!
xxoo,

Wonderful idea, I hate to discard paper I have only used a portion of sounds like this is the class for me! The price is a steal as well. 🙂

Clever! I struggle with this all the time. Getting better at keeping it organized though. I took the Life is Beautiful E-course with my daughters so I know this will be good!
Love and Luck,
