I haven't read any of the response but I am like you I spend very little money on scrapping supplies because I have a same budget so I hate to delete something I paid money for. I mean i had to have liked something about it to pay for it so i try to think out side the box and "use" it up.
1. You can always recolor to fit your needs.
2. Try blending the papers with others to get a fresh fun look.
3. Do you have any overlays or textures in your stash? Use those on your papers. So quick and so easy!!
4. If you use photoshop (or elements) it has built in filters you can apply to the papers to help change them up. You also have the ability to "import" your own textures to use on papers. It's really easy too!!!
5. See if you can alter the elements (by adding to or taking away from them).
6. Google for free actions and stuff to help freshen up your stash and help stretch that those kits to their limits (Atomic Cupcake still offers a few free actions).
I am the biggest penny pincher/frugal mama I know so there is no way I would EVER delete (or throw away) something I paid hard earned cash for. Some may think that's silly but that's just me!!!
