Destashing!


I have noticed that my fabric scraps have been taking over. The last layout I published was using the fabric from the skirt you had already seen when Riley and I went to sign up for kindergarten. I actually started this layout and realized that I didn't have a photo of her in the skirt. So I pushed it aside and made the other. I used Prism cardstock and the Heidi Grace (I think it was) fabric from the underskirt. Then I had random felt embellishments from Daiso, Maya Road, and Oriental Trading. I used a few shades of Glimmer Mist and Glimmer Screens as well as Distress Inks. Nothing complicated, just a bunch of glue dots.

This other layout is Making Memories, Maya Road, Little Davis, Sassafras, and We R Memory Keepers with a bit of Papyrus butterflies.

Fabric scraps on layout

Now that I can sew a straight line (or a line at all), I decided to use the left over fabric for a layout from Riley's skirt that my mom made for her. Remember the one she said I could pass off as my own work? Yeah we don't need to mention how it got me in trouble when I was in the 2nd or 3rd grade. She had written my essay on world peace for school. It was so damn good that I had to read it in two school assemblies. Guess that's why I can write a paper now and get an A even though I have no real clue on the subject. But I won't be doing that again any time soon.



I used Prism cardstock (left over from Memory Works retreat), May Arts twill, Oriental Trading brads, My Mind's Eye "today" cardstock saying, American Crafts acrylic letters, Zip Dry, and Maya Road rubons. Oh and the fabric was from JoAnn's. I wanted to originally make Riley's American Doll Riley (I can't believe she named her doll after herself but it is what it is) a matching skirt but there wasn't enough length.

Let's use up the brad and eyelet stash!

I am taking the Something for Almost Nothing class which started yesterday at Shimelle.com in an attempt to use up that old stash that keeps getting buried underneath all the new stuff. So the prompt yesterday was to use metal in a layout. I think I do best when there's some sort of challenge issued to me (like at work) than to just pull something out of the air. 

For this I stitched on a piece of wide ribbon (should have been longer) but we all know I don't measure anything. Then I used one sheet of Sassafras Bungle Jungle and a scrap of K&Co.  from the Valentine's collection I had laying on my table from making those little mailboxes. Then from there I used brads from BoBunny and eyelets from Oriental Trading and Making Memories. The metal letters are from We R Memory Keepers and the little "chick" is Meri Meri accents.

As for the SEI challenge this month, so far I made a simple bracelet out of twill and an acrylic heart from Prima. The line from SEI is Doodle Girl and I used Zip Dry glue and the iron ons from SEI as well that belong to the same collection.

And now for giant cupcakes. . . my favorite gluten free HoHos with lots of butter! Secret to my taking over the world, is that I feed them one cupcake but it's actually the size of two! Bwhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha!

New Sassafras

I've had the new Sassafras Nerdy Bird for a few weeks now. I'm just getting around to scrapping in between making doll costumes and other random things. Here's a quick layout I just did because I was going through scrapping withdraws.

 I also used felt, flower clothes pins from Daiso and colored ball chain with alcohol ink. There's also Prism cardstock flowers.
