I want to get the most out of my supplies. I have been scrapbooking and paper crafting for twenty years. I have learned to scrutinize my purchases carefully, so that I get the most out of the money I spend. I have learned over the years what works and what doesn't. Sometimes when I see a new product or tool I try to figure out ways to do it with what I already have in my stash. Let's face it people, most of us have a lot of stuff. ( Not that there's anything wrong with that ).

Oh Stella. I love your colors.
I had so much fun with this layout. Used lagoon for my background paper and one of the pp papers for the giant postage stamp background. I had so much fun with embellishments and layers. More hidden journaling.
Remember our snowflake paper
Still using those scraps. I can't believe how many layouts I've gotten out of that paper pack. Notice the snowflake. It has hidden journaling. I cut it out of chipboard first. FUN. Thanks sis for the Brain child.

Layout contd.
This whole layout is CTMH "love Potion" pp 18 &19 in Magic layout book. Having a great time with this new stamp set. Used it to add a little texture to a strip. Alternated first and second generation stamping on the petals. I think the colors and the corrugated cardboard makes the element go well on a masculine page. Did a little border with one of the petals. Made this little tag with "wonderful you" stamp set.
Page in progress
Using my clear ruler to place things. Dug out CTMH hemp. Used my texture plates and tiny stapler. I think they are both Tim Holz. Stamped on the cork letters with my new "Just For You" stamp set. CTMH Art Philosophy and of course INK.
What's on my scrapbook table right now.
In the middle if layout using CTMH Stella. Amazing colors. Love it! Broke out my stamping up background stamps. These are becoming a staple on my table. A little Colonial White and whatever color ink your using and you have great, interesting, textured backgrounds.
