Inspirational ideas for using all those things that have sat in the cupboard for years

Cons:
Wow - I sat and watched this through from beginning to end in one sitting. There are some terrific samples shown and some great ideas for using things like watercolour crayons and pencils that I've had sitting in the cupboard for years and haven't thought of a use for! If you have Photoshop or Photoshop elements and aren't really sure what to do with it then those sections will be very useful too, but if you don't have it or you know how to use it already then that section could be a little slow-moving of you. My only real criticism though would be that I would have liked to have seen a little less info on basic materials and a little more actual DOING, rather than just talking through what has been done or can be done. Overall though, I really enjoyed this and will go back to it again and again for inspirational ideas.
