Using up the stash

I find that as time goes on, my scrappy stash is growing by leaps and bounds. Part of the reason is that I seem to stay pretty busy during the day with work, so I simply do not get enough time in my craft room. The other reason is a pretty common one: I need all the things 🙂 It’s pretty tough to resist all of those great products out there. I am trying to limit myself to just my Hip Kit subscription and one on line purchase a month. That has been a challenge. So going forward, my goal is to use up as much of my stash as I possibly can.

This month, one way I will tackle this lofty goal is to work on some projects that will force me to dive into my stash. I started a mini album today that will get me into those summer papers and embellis, but I also worked on this layout I am featuring on my blog today. My goal was to use some of the supplies from my January HK, in fact I used an entire sheet of rub-ons on this one layout!! I was pretty happy with how that turned out. The January kit had some very nice products from the My Story collection from MME. I love that collection. So I found a picture that would work with the collection and off I went on a creative journey to create the feature layout for this blog post. I have included some still shots and the video link below.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!! Have an amazing day!!
