Supply Challenge ~ Your Input Wanted

I hope you've all had a wonderful weekend...

I've been thinking about new things to do/try on the blog and one thing that keeps coming up as I talk to people is they would like ideas on how to use older supplies in their stash.

So my question to you is what supplies would you like to see used, revamped, updated?

I'm trying to get a list together of things that would interest people so let's hear it...paper punches, staples, ribbons, fibers, ????

    Everything, lol. Just kidding. I'd like to see vellum and acrylic shapes and images that are more difficult to adhere b/c it shows through. I really can't wait to see your ideas for gifts. That will certainly help w/ the scrap supply :)

    Robin must have been reading my thoughts. I'm not sure if Pearl-ex is what I have, but it's the stuff by Luminart that needs a binder with it. I would like ways to use it without having to buy alum.

    I would love to see some new and fresh ideas for stencils. I have a ton of them and never really used them very much.

    I don't want to buy new tools-but they are so cool now. I donate my old unused stuff to Ronald McDonald house-but I have a bunch of twinkling pots of paint that I can't "get in to using"..actually lots of those paints I thought I'd use on stamps and don't-help!

    LOTS and lots of things!! ;) Seriously though, I have packs of memory glass slides lying around here (several sizes), and lots of vintage tickets, bottle caps, and trinkets and charms... aaaaghg, and I haven't used ANY of them! I don't even particularly like bottle caps...! I have no clue what to do with them!

    Would love to see some tutorials or tips on all that stuff,

    Let's see: vellum, ink sprays, standard punches, pearl-ex, metal hardware like ribbon holders and bookplates, templates, and the most important thing to me is how do I make the glitter stay on some of my papers that were pre glitterd. Is there a spray or what?

    I remember your punchie days fondly. Those things are not cheap or easy to store (when you have too many) So I'd like a revival of the punchies post. :~P

    Yes, I too would be very interested in seeing new ideas on using old stuff. I'm not sure I have anything in particular, anything would be interesting.

    Thanks,

    Oh my gosh...this is just what I was thinking about recently...how to use up old supplies and make them look new! I would love to see ways to use up punched shapes!! Not the basic ones like large circles and squares, but the tiny ones that make good confetti but not much else! Also, how about flat stickers?? Yikes, I have so many of those and don't know what to do with them!

    To see any of the things already mentioned would be cool! I have lots of fibers..not sure why bought them but I did! I think I was going to use them to bind mini-albums..but them I didn't like the way I did it. I'm sure that any ideas on this would be very useful.

    Thank you so much for being so kind and generous with your time and talents.
