Splashdown!

Happy Sunday!

I'm doing a really good job clearing out some old stash.

A new challenge from Studio Challenges is to use some old with some new.

These stickers are YEARS old.

I don't know what I was saving them for.

And these alpha stickers are so old, they didn't have any adhesive left.

I had to glue them all down.

I also used some scraps of burlap paper.

For the new, I added quite a few drops of Nuvo Drops.

These are new to me, and I am addicted!

I love that they dry so clearly and quickly.

I started out with this sketch from Sketch N Scrap #216:

My scrap stash is whittling down quickly!

Sunshine & Me

Happy Thursday!

I thought about this page all day at work.  It's a little bit busier than I expected, but I am happy with it.

 

I used lots of fun bits and pieces...circles punch, ribbon, enamel dots...

I played with the Use Your Stuff challenge #413 - All About the New.

For my NEW stash, I used this awesome black and white gingham ribbon that was found in the Christmas section.

My sunflower ephemera and butterflies are all from a new pack I bought from a Scrapbook Deals facebook group.

I also used some new rub on alphas I found at Dollar Tree.

So glad some of these goodies never made it the drawer before I used them.

Sometimes, those drawers are like the Bermuda Triangle...never to be found again...lol

Thanks for stopping by!!

Be You

Hello again!  

It's time for another challenge from Cookin' Up Creations.

This month is all about using up the Old Stash so we can play with the New Stash.

 

For this page, I dug to the near bottom of the scrap pile to match up these papers from Little Yellow Bicycle's Paradise collection.

Most of these were scraps, but the larger pieces needed to be used and not tossed.

I also used up some packaging material from Prima Flowers.  

Sometimes, the backing for the flowers is really nice!

For my flowers, I dusted off my punches.

It's nice to use tools that haven't been utilized much.

Stop by the Cookin' Up Creations forum to see what else everyone is creating!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Blast Off!!

It's so hard to get a good picture of this page:

I used some fun holographic paper for my background.

I then added some glitter scraps, brads, eyelets and some bling.

LOTS of shiny stuff!

I used the Blast Off collection from My Mind's Eye and this Tic Tac Toe board from Scrap with Stacy:

I played the bottom row on the board.  I added some space / planet ephemera, a banner made from star scraps and I'm using the planets as my circles, along with the bling and the brads.

So happy to use up some old stash!

Thanks for stopping by!

 

A+ Great Work

Happy Saturday!

I feel like I'm off to a great start using up my old stash.

I dug deep into the depths of the stash to work with this sketch from Rochelle:

I found some older scraps from the School Spirit collection by Crate Paper circa 2010!

These bits are paper looked like fun and I just couldn't toss them, so I finally used them.

YAY!

I also added some random stickers and some felt pieces that I found in the dollar deals section at Target years ago...when they used to have scrapbook stuff in there.

Join us this month at Cookin' Up Creations while we play Out with the Old, In with the New.

Use up the old stash and mix it up with the new stash.

Thanks for stopping by!!

First page of 2021

 Happy New Year!!!  I'm really hoping that this year is very different from 2020.

The only thing I will miss from the past year is having extra time to scrapbook.  The downside is with so many things cancelled, I had fewer pictures to scrap.  

Here is my first page for 2021:

As part of the team at Cookin' Up Creations, we are hosting a new challenge this month:

Out with the Old - In with the New.

I used a really old collection from Moxxie.

I cannot find any information on how old this collection is!

If that's any indication as to how long it's been around..lol.

Check out the new challenge for the first of the year and hopefully you will be inspired to use your old stash.

I used this sketch from Sketches in Thyme #451:

                                        

I was lucky enough to be selected to be on the Design Team!  I am so excited to be part of this wonderful group of scrapbookers.  Stop by and see what our amazing team has put together using this sketch.

Thanks for stopping by!

Together is the Best place to be

Welcome to 2021!!!  

I am hoping and praying that this year is a much better year than last, as I'm sure everyone is.

This year I am lucky enough to be on a new Design Team.

I am now part of the fabulous group of ladies designing layouts for Let's Get Sketchy!

I have been playing along with their sketches for years and I am so happy to be part of the team!

This is the first part of a great new year!

For January, we were offered this sketch to work with:

Fun, right??

I used Echo Park - I Love Family collection.

They had the perfect patterned paper to sue for those hexagons. 

These were cut out by hand and a few of them were mounted on pop dots just to break up the pattern a bit.

I hope you will stop by and play along with the sketch.

Every month a new winner is chosen to be a Guest Designer at Let's Get Sketchy.

The sketches for the new year are fun and you won't want to miss out!

Thanks for stopping by!!
