Today’s stamp set of choice is D1407 Piece of Cake.  I got a the basic layout idea from this card on Pinterest and this is what I came up with:

Supplies used: CTMH Piece of Cake stamp set, CTMH Spot-On Backgrounds stamp set (retired), papers from my scraps, Copic markers for coloring, CTMH Black and Pacifica inks, ribbon from my stash, Zig markers for doodling, CTMH Stardust Glitter Glitz, and Kaiser rhinestones.

I used the Spot On Backgrounds stamp set and Glitter Glitz to create the blue background paper so this is technically an all-cardstock card!

Today’s featured stamp is Baby Love.  I used it to create these quick and easy, yet sweet, baby cards:

Not sure if you can tell from the picture, but I used 3D foam tape to add dimension.  The line around the outside was done simply with a marker and a ruler.

WELCOME!  I’m so glad you are joining us for our very first “Use Your Stash Blog Hop”.  This hop is made up of all Close to My Heart consultants who have banded together to use some of the many things we have just sitting around and not getting used.  This will be a monthly blog hop.  I know I am really looking forward to using up some of my older product.  I hope it will give you some fresh ideas and inspire you to do the same.  If you have already started, you should be coming from Michelle Battitori’ s Blog.  If this is your first stop, continue through until you make your way back here.

Today I am using Topstitch papers and My Stickease.

Supplies used: CTMH Topstitch Paper Packet, CTMH Colonial White Mini-Medley, CTMH Topstitch My Stickease, and CTMH Chocolate Waxy Flax.

I have been waiting to scrap these pictures.  I knew as soon as I saw them that I would use this paper.  Today was the day I dug it out and it all came together beautifully!  I really need to dig out more My Stickease because they make for some quick, easy, and great-looking pages!

Now hop on over to Judy Garner’ s 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.

I used these layouts as one-pagers instead of two-pagers.  When I first got the new idea book I was disappointed that I didn’t like this workshop better, but now that I’ve done it I love the pages and all the bling on them.

Come back tomorrow to see the bonus project (bucket list box) that coordinates with this workshop.

Would you like to attend my Roxie Workshop on February 10?  Order by January 27 to save on shipping.

Supplies used: Doodlebug Designs paper and stickers, Close to My Heart cardstock, and ribbon and brads from my stash.

This month the challenge at Scrap Our Stash is anything based on the word NEW, so maybe a New Year’s layout, a new baby, or a new scrapbook product, etc.  I went shopping at the Mall of America on New Year’s Day (crazy, I know!) but I found this cute paper and stickers so that’s my new.  The layout went together quickly using a sketch from Scrapbook Generation’s Sketches for Scrapbooking Volume 8 (LOVE THIS!).  I was very happy with this layout and how I was able to use my new supplies as well as some things like the heart-shaped brads (remember metal is my stash buster this month!) and ribbon from my stash.
