Should my art supplies have an expiration date on them? These mistable puffy frames are from 2010…and I still hadn’t used them.
Why? Because I liked them too much. What a silly reason! For this week’s Let’s Play video and link party, I’m forcing my inner hoarder to use them!
How? With one sentence. Use it or lose it. What isn’t used in this one session is getting thrown away (since a half used supply isn’t really donation worthy). As I added the Color Burst metallics to them it wasn’t too tough on my inner hoarder. But as soon as I started putting them in the journal, she flipped out and I became indecisive.
But I told that voice, Use it or lose it! The horror of wasting it was too much to bear for that hoarder so it was far better to use it than toss it!
Watch How one sentence helped me stop hoarding art supplies on YouTube.

I have been so inspired with your “use it or lose it” motto. I have those puffy frames in your video and many more. I just purchased the metallic color burst and now I know just what to do with my frames. Thank you.
I just got some Brusho. Now I’ll have to dig out those frames (why do I have them?) to play with. Thanks.
Wow! I love these little frames used in a planner or in a journal! Perfect idea to highlight important events or important dates or persons!
Why do we hoard stuff? Glad it is not just me!
Love the colorburst! Still haven’t gotten my hands on them, but love the way they look on the frames.
Ha! I kept shouting to myself (and you) “turn it sideways!!!!” ?
