I actually JUST bought that set of thickers you used in your sample.  Perfect! Thanks for the challenge

[joannie]

BOY I have tons of alphas!!!! Thanks for the challenge Rebecca!!

[emmapaige]

Yep - I've got BOXES of alphas so this will be easy peasy for me! 

[blbabe1234]

SWEET!!!!! I NEED TO USE MINE!

[Berta R.]

Me too!  I really want to get creative and use up some of the hundreds that I have stashed away! 

[Deanna13]

This is awesome! I have lots of alphas that need used up! 

[StacyLee]

great challenge, thanks!

Can you clarify... do we need to do something creative with the alphas or use more than a certain number?  I use alphas on every layout for my title, but I'm assuming that's not what you are talking about.

I'll go back and clarify in my original post.... but I want you to use lots of alphas.  Not going to set a limit, but maybe dig out some of the older ones hiding in your stash and add them to some new ones...  I would like to see at least 2 different alphas used....

I have almost those exact letters in my stash.  I can imagine a lot of creativeness using 2 different types.

[Charleneanne]

I have two 12x12 containers and one smaller one full of alphas and partial alphas etc.  Some go back to the turn of the century even. (2000 that is)    Fun challenge.

[pawprints]

What a great challenge! I have so many alphas, some going way back!!!

[blbabe1234]

Here's mine:



I used Cosmo Cricket (yellow alphas), My Little Shoebox (pink alphas), Basic Grey (grey alphas) and Amy Tangerine (black thickers).

[Deanna13]

Here's mine for the Use Your Stash Challenge using 2 or more old alphas. I used old Cosmo Cricket and October Afternoon Alpha Stickers.

Forgot to mention I combined with the Size Matters Challenge.

Here is my layout, combined with the Rewind (Disney) challenge. 
I used 3 different alphas: some old Cosmo Cricket Tiny Types and 2 different Thickers (chipboard and foam)

[KimberlyE]

I used six different alphas, some of which are from companies that I haven't used in years.

[JillinIN]

This was a fun challenge. It really motivated me to pull out some old Thickers.
Thanks for hosting.
