I'm trying to get organized and I'm looking at some of my older kits that I've never used but I spent $$$ for and I'm wonderig should I delete them or try to scrap with them. I'm torn becaue I hate to waste $$$ but heck I don't want to waste space on my EHD either....

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!!!
 
I say purge. If you haven't used it all this time, do you think you'll even remember to go back and use something from it? If you really think you would, you could save a few on a CD and label it. I use to do that, but in my experience I've only gone back to the CD a couple times. Part of it is I can't remember the contents of the kit, partly there's so many releases every week that I only use what's new, partly because I don't have the time to look through what I saved. So far, I don't miss anything I deleted.
 
So I just read all the response and I am totally in the minority on this subject. But like I said I really don't buy a lot, I only spent about 150 dollars totally last year and so far this year I've only spent about $40 dollars. So there is now way I would ever ever delete something I bought because I am very very picky about what I buy. Plus I am a total bargin hunter and always try to get the most for my $$ (I only spent about $23 dollars on NSD but had almost 125 zips to download totaling almost 6GB worth of stuff!!!).

I have been know to delete freebies from time to time but even then I can almost always find a use for it and love it. Plus I know my "style" and I have learned to just not download the ones I don't like.
 
I delete if I know I will NEVER use them. I was in awe how quickly my taste in kits changed over the years. If I like them and think I "might" use them I save to a CD (although I never typically go back to them.)
