My Approach to new supplies and a colorful floral card

For the first 6 months of 2020 I challenged myself to not buy ANY crafting supplies and to only use what I had. It was towards the end of 2019 that I realized that there were too many stamps and dies in my drawer that I hadn't used at all or just once so I thought it was time to use all of them before buying more. It was a fun challenge and really stretched my creativity. I still have many cards to share with you over here where you'll see me craft with older supplies. 

For the remaining months of 2020 I promised myself a minimalistic approach to new supplies in order to not get overwhelmed with too many things but whenever there's a new release and I really love a particular product I'll give myself permission to purchase it. And that's exactly what happened about a week ago. I don't have many solid stamps in my stash so the new 'Solid Floral' stamp set and the 'Narrow Stripes' stencil of Create A Smile Stamps made for the perfect first purchase of the year :)
