The thing about this cardmaking thing is that one seems to acquire no end of stash, which you buy because you like the look of it at the time, but then keep for years and not use and so it goes on......
I go the NEC in Birmingham every November with Cardmaking/crafty friends and it the one opportunity I have to buy buy buy! I have cash all year so that I don't feel guilty spending so much money in one day.
I have therefore come to the conclusion that I really need to de-stash, either by using, giving away or selling some of my stuff. The main space taking culprit is magazines. I have therefore had a harsh sort out. If I don't really like the free gift, I sell the magazine and free gift on that well known auction site. If I like the free gift but there is nothing that really strikes me in the magazine, I keep the gift and give the magazine to a charity shop. If there is something useful in the magazine that I want, template, tutorial or just really nice layout, I cut them out and keep them in an inspiration book. I have made more room this way, well a bit anyway!
These are the cards I have made recently, using up stuff in my stash. Hope you like them.
