Scrapping our Stash, Blog Hop!

If you have been hoping along with us you should be arriving here from Kelly Jean's Blog. If you have stumbled here by chance please feel free to hop along with us! The inspiration starts over on the Practical Scrapper's blog!

CHA is this weekend and that means the industry is putting out all kinds of fabulous new product.  So what better time to kick off our new monthly series of Scrapping our Stash! So in the hopes of inspiring you to use your stash, I put together two projects using some products that have been hanging around my desk since May. Now grant it I could have dug deeper (believe me much deeper) at least I started.

First up I created this sweet little card using Pink Pasilee's Luxe Collection. 

Products Used: Pink Paislee -Luxe Collection, American Crafts Thickers and Cardstock, Copic Markers, Viva Paper Pen.

Now i know this is a simple card but I really had fun making it, I just love the dimesion and shine that the Viva Pen adds to the color that added using my copic makers.

Next up is a Mixed Media layout that I created using the Cottage Farm collection by Pink Paislee as well.

Products Used: Pink Paislee- Cottage Farm Cottage Farm Collection, Pink Paislee Artisan Sticker,  & Bo Bunny Dollie & Bling, Viva Molding Paste, Tim Holtz Ink & Stamps, Prima Stamps and Heidi Swapp Mist & Stencils.

Just a few details just for fun!!

I hope that these products have inspired you to clear out some of your stash!

Scrap Warrior Drill #23 One Word for 2014

It's the first Saturday in 2014!! You know what that means!! Its time for another Drill over at S.W.A.T! This weeks drill is to pick one word for 2014 and create a project that reflects that word .

My word is FOCUS. Why Focus, because as a branch manager that was how I started my day everyday. I picked an area we need to focus on and we did. So that's what I need to do. I need to focus on myself. I need to make sure that I give myself time to workout, time to create, time to decompress. I have to make sure that I am focused on myself ( a bit more) to make sure that I am the best person I can be for my family and myself.

That being said , this year I have decided to start my very first Art Journal! EEK I am so excited to start this and to share as I go along with all of you but please remember ... This is my first one and I am still learning :) But that's what its for right?? Here goes......

Products Used: Lindy's Stamp Gang Mist, Art Anthology mediums, Tim Holtz stamps & Velum, Ranger Ink, Faber Castell Big Brush, Prima stamps, Bo Bunny Stamps, Paint, Clear Gel Medium, Clear Gesso and a few stencils from my stash.

Just a few more views:)

Well I hop you like it :) If not its just for me anyhow LOL! It was a lot of fun to create and I know I will be sharing new pages soon! Its the best therapy, I swear!

Well now its your turn, make sure you link up your project over at S.W.A.T by the end of the month for your chance to win a $20 Gift Card to 2 Peas in a Bucket!! Now wouldn't that be a great way to start shopping for your favorite new CHA releases!!
