I chose the Card Chatter – Sympathy stamp set:

I made this simple card:

Supplies used: Card Chatter-Sympathy stamp set, Colonial White Cardstock, Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge, Stella Paper Packet, and Timeless Charms.

I am working at using up the last little bit of scraps of some of the recent paper packs and Stella is one if them.  I was pleasantly surprised to see how well the Timeless Charms coordinated with these papers!

WELCOME!  I’m so glad you are joining us for our “Use Your Stash Blog Hop”.  If you have already started, you should be coming from Judy Faye Garner’s Blog.  If this is your first stop, continue through until you make your way back here.

This month we are all using Dimensional Elements (chipboard).

Supplies used are all CTMH unless otherwise stated: Florentine Paper Packet, Family Love stamp set, Timeless Charms, Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge, Dimensional Elements Mixed Shapes, Cocoa Collection Ribbon(retired), Opaques Pearl Adhesive Gems, Olive and Chocolate inks, and Zig marker.  Sept. 2011 Page Map.

Well, I’m struggling with my mojo today so I wasn’t very creative when it came to using chipboard.  The only piece I used was the piece for the title.  I have to say that I do love how these dimensional element (chipboard) pieces coordinate with our Art Philosophy cartridge.  I just cut the shape I need (in the size indicated on the dimensional element packaging) and it fits perfectly.  This makes it super easy to add paper to the top of the chipboard.

The Family Love stamp set is a new one for me and you will be seeing more of it.  It is great for those family pages and has some nice decor images too like the one in the corner of my page.  I first inked my stamp in Olive, then I used a sponge dauber to add Chocolate ink to the center.  It was a simple way to add multiple colors to the stamped image.

Now hop on over to Shirley Ross’ Blog for more ideas on using up your stash.

If you get lost along the way you can see the entire list of hoppers on my previous post.

The Scrap Our Stash Challenge this month is to do ANYTHING!  I learned that with the business of the holidays that is exactly what we should strive for, just get done whatever you can and consider it an accomplishment!  Go check it out and take the challenge for yourself.

It’s hard to believe that Miranda will be one year old soon.  She was the only child of ours who sucked her thumb and it was just so stickin’ cute!
