I hope you had a terrific weekend! We welcomed in the first day of Spring on Saturday and it was beautiful here! Today, we welcome in a new week at Practical Scrappers. First, let's get to our winners from last week! Our grand prize winner is Ane Lene, and our top three are Fancy Melissa, Penny Light, and Hazel. You all had such creative uses for chipboard! Always so fun and refreshing to visit and be inspired by our participants!
Now our challenge this week is easy peasy, just use something from you stash that is at least a year old. Since I'm a huge collector, who is vowing to use up stash before buying new, that was easy for me!
I had this Making Memories album (at least two years old) that has been begging to be used! I pulled it out and found some rub-ons that were stashed away too. They were a combo of Fancy Pants and Making Memories. I tied on ribbon from the stash. I put a photo of my Gran in the cover of it. This book will be used for photos of her, as she is "Sweet Beauty" to me!
I know you have some old stash, now is the time to put it to use! If you need some awesome inspiration for this one, please be sure to visit my dt sisters, I have them linked up by days of the week on my side bar. Have a great Monday.
Blessings,
Love it Kim, I have looked at this album forever at the stores just never bought it, great way to personalize it! Yes the little hook letters on my blog were in the new dollar section, they also had some too cute stamps (animals) and chunky words and adorable little plastic containers of buttons with a big button as the lid! I need an "O" though since I want to do "HOME" in the front so we can hang coats/rain stuff etc when we come in but NONE of my stores have it and no one else I have asked has found one so I will have to return it and rethink the project! :(
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet beauty for sure!!! I love that you have chosen a picture of your nana to add.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the challenge is to use stash...boy do I have that.

You always do such lovely tributes to your family! I love that about you. I wish I had that closeness in mine. I want to give that to my children!
