This is one of my favorite old stuff pages. i used older than my mother chatterbox paper and scenic route letters and even some older foofala letter stickers.
ok.....so i am getting the paper addict jitters.

i want new stuff.

i dont care if i use it or if it is cheap or expensive or even if i have the money:)

but then again, i have to remind myself that i am broke. and that all the stuff i have in my stash was new once. and that given the right pictures, it will all work.

yeah.

it will:)

but SU had free shipping....and i need the stampin spots and some kraft paper.....merry Christmas to MEEEEEEEEEE:)

It's all about the KI baby:)

I LOVE fall pictures, but this year we didn't take as many for some reason.  
i have a HUGE pile of KI stuff and i mean HUGE! most of it predates the dinosaurs ( i mean, the color theory lines, LOL). I just finished off these lines over the weekend. 
ahhhhhhhhhh.... i surely DIG the use it up:))))

The First Noel:)

ok....so i used REALLY old stuff on this page....both paper and pictures.

i used pattern paper from K&Co. and Autumn Leaves, plus stickers (YES, i said stickers) from autumn leaves. stamp from hero arts and ink from ctmh.

Lately i have found myself getting reacquainted with older tools....especially my square punches. i am trying to fit as man pics in one page as i can, so it sure does come in handy.

Plus i have been breaking out the old stamps and inkpads....makes me happy for some reason:)

keeping the use it up going.

about 6 months ago i decided to not pursue design teams or getting published. it was the best thing i ever did:)

so now i am scrapping fully from my stash and the little odds and ends i pick up from michaels and other local stores with 40% coupons. 

i have also come to LOVE sketches and use lots of them from different places...cause you don't always have tons of inspo. and things need to get done.

another thing that has helped me a LOT is implementing the Library of Memories system into my scrapbooking and not going back and forth from 8.5x11 to 12x12. i am dong strictly smaller sizes.

....and doing old pictures? the best thing EVAH! i am rediscovering things i had forgotten a LOOOONGG time ago!

Christmas is around the corner:)

and i am busy scrapping the holidays:)

i finally got to scrap a little:)

i used sketches from card a day and pencil lines. i am really digging the sketches lately:)..plus it is all use it up stash:)
