Posted in Blog Hops, Scrapbook Pages on 02/21/2012 08:00 am by Wendy
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 Tabbi Fritz’s Blog. If this is your first stop, continue through until you make your way back here.
This month we are featuring buttons and flowers.
Supplies used: Let’s Get Together Paper Packet, Colonial White Waxy Flax, Just Blooms Flowers (link to similar product), Red Assortment Buttons, Color Ready Alphabet – Hodge Podge (link to similar products), Irresistibles Eclectic Die-Cuts, Cranberry Ink, Hooray Bouquet stamp set, and Art Philosophy Cricut Collection.
This is one of my favorite paper packs from “back when” When I looked at my stash of buttons I had a lot of red and thought of this paper. I used a sketch from Page Maps March 2011. I discovered that it is fun when I am able combine old supplies with new ones. Most of the products I used are fairly old but then I used the Hooray Bouquet stamp set with my Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge and those are both newer supplies. I am learning that this is so easy to do with stamps!
I was also reminded with this layout why I love waxy flax so much. It is so easy to thread buttons and stays in place. I attached my buttons to the layout, poked holes with my Piercing Tool, and threaded the waxy flax through – no needle needed!
I am so pleased with how this title came out. Again, I mixed old product with new. I opened my package of Irresistible letters and used up more of my Color-Ready Alphabet. It turned out to be a great combination!
Now hop on over to Ann Marie’s Blog for more ideas on using up your button and flower stash.
