Good morning everyone and welcome to my monthly challenge “Use or Lose It!”. I did REALLY good using up my stash last month. I used the following from my original July Use it or Lose It Challenge:

• Studio Calico “Hey Day” collection pack
• Beach stickers. I used ALL of them!!!
• Bo Bunny Jewels in Blue. I used the pearls mostly
• Everyday sentiment clear stamps
• Bo Bunny “Timepiece” stickers
• Basic Grey “Vivienne” 6×6 paper pad.
• Lily Davis watercolor blue chipboard alphas
• Clear, very old, bubble stickers talking about “memories”
• Heidi Grace chipboard
• Prima teal flower

I had only ONE item that will get a second chance this month:

• Art-C green micro beads

I even used these items from June’s second chance:

• Fine glitter
• Bo Bunny “Key Lime” charms
• Scrapbooker’s Painted Page paper

One thing I didn’t use was Inkadinkado’s Stamping Gear. I just never was feeling it. I even grabbed it a few times and practiced with it. Not for me, so in the bin it goes!

Now onto my items that I pulled for August.

An Ancestry.com K & Company Family Tree scrapbooking kit. I don’t even recall ever buying it. But I’m an avid family researcher, so maybe I can do at least one layout?

Spackling Paste. Before buying texture paste and modeling paste and mixed media products, my husband bought spackling paste from Home Depot. I just wanted it for the texture. Now that I have the mixed media products, this just sits there. On the shelf. Would love to use it at least once this month!

Ribbon. Both of them have less than 12 inches. It’d be good to use them up
Bling. From Prima. They are very pretty. Un-opened too.
Chalboard flags from AC. Un-opened.

Lily Davis chipboard alphas. This time…in GREEN.
A sticker sheet about friends and gardens. LOL. OKay…

The Paper Studio Christmas Pack. Yes, Christmas in August. Thinking about getting started on some Christmas cards.

Bo Bunny “Mammarazzi” collection. I have 3 full sheets left, some scraps and half a sticker sheet. It’d be fun to use this up!

Doggie Stamps. Micro size. I forget about these, since they fit in my stash.
Basic Grey “Highline” chipboard. I bought the entire collection when it came out and I’ve been using it to scrap photos of a photo shoot my scrappy friends did about 5 yrs ago. I have quite a bit of it left, but these 2 chipboard project life style cards are still there. I keep passing them up. Might as well try to use them.

Wish me luck and I’ll be back here periodically this month when I use something up!

Good morning everyone and welcome to my monthly challenge “Use or Lose It!”. I did pretty good using up my stash last month. I used the following from my original June 2016 post:

• CTMH Hexagon Stamps
• Prima crystal bling
• Studio Calico “Sundrifter” collection pack
• Basic Grey “Lime Rickey” collection
• Heidi Grace Chipboard alphas
• Spring stickers
• Imaginisce chipboard pieces
• K & Company journal pad

These are the items that are getting a second chance this month:

• Stamping Gear from Inkadinkado
• Fine glitter
• Bo Bunny “Key Lime” charms
• Scrapbooker’s Painted Page paper

I also used Basic Grey “Curio” stickers and dog biscuit pattern paper from my May 2016 post. So the only item that goes into my bin is the scratchy stamp.

So here are the items I pulled to use this month:

I did so well using “Sundrifter” from Studio Calico (I made 1 card and 7 layouts), I went ahead and pulled Studio Calico “Hey Day” collection pack. Again, I bought it during Black Friday for $5.

Beach stickers. My friend sent me these at the same time as those Spring stickers I had pulled last month. Figured I’d try to use these too.
Bo Bunny Jewels in Blue. I LOVE blue and haven’t even opend them yet!
Everyday sentiment clear stamps. This was one of the very first set of clear stamps I bought. Gosh…I believe like 7 yrs ago. I don’t use them. Ever.

Bo Bunny “Timepiece” stickers. They are all about dad.
Basic Grey “Vivienne” 6×6 paper pad. I use the 12×12 papers/stickers all the time, but the smaller pack…haven’t opened it yet.
Really really REALLY old Lily Davis watercolor blue chipboard alphas. Where did I even get THESE??

Art-C green micro beads. What?!?!
Clear, very old, bubble stickers talking about “memories”.
Prima flower in teal. Its pretty lonely there, isn’t it?

Heidi Grace chipboard. Never opened. Lots of browns, pinks and blues. Very simple – circles, hearts, flowers. I can work with that.

Wish me luck and I’ll be back periodically this month when I use something up!

TFL! 🙂

Good afternoon everyone! I’m back today share a few layouts that I did over the course of two weekends. Two are from the 1st weekend – a continuation (and conclusion) of the Scrappy Weekend with my girls, followed by a few others I did last week and this weekend.

First up are the 2 layouts from the first weekend. I used Basic Grey “Lime Rickey”, Studio Calico “Sundrifter”, some Prima rhinestones and Imaginesce chipboard (all from my June Use it or Lose it Challenge)

Just Be Cool

Ruby & Bear

Our house for MMC #1 (Mini Monday Crop at ACOT with Laura). It uses the CTMH Hexagon Stamps that I pulled for June Use it Or Lose it. I also used BG “Persimmon”

Favorite Photo for Becky Fleck Sketch #117 at ACOT. I used Webster’s Pages pattern papers/PL card, Freckled Fawn paper clip and Heidi Swapp Chipboard.

And last but not least, A Perfect Memory, for ACOT’s Heritage Challenge. The photo is of my husband’s great, great grandparents (in the front), with their children in the back. My husband’s great grandmother is Theresa (the 3rd from the left, in the back row). This layout allowed me to use the BG Curio stickers from last month’s Use it or Lose it as a second chance item!

I still got 2 more weeks to try to use up my stash! Wish me luck!

TFL! 🙂
