Over at SHIMELLE'S Pretty Paper Party Prompt 16 was to stack our paper. Now this is a technique I use quite often, but Shimelle suggested using some papers we didn't particularly love anymore and that way we would only see parts of the paper...but we would at least be getting the papers onto pages!
This coincided with me having looked out some K&Co papers for Susanne's IN GOOD COMPANY challenge. I haven't bought any K&Co for yonks, so it was really old stash which , when I pulled it out I realised it just wasn't what I would use anymore.
Thank goodness for Shimelle.....and here's what I came up with
Now I've been able to throw out the scraps without feeling wasteful, as I used at least some of it and don't feel too bad about it!
Thanks for stopping by!
Take care of you

That really is adorable Alison! Well don eon using up old stash:)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty layout. Isn't the class fun? I feel good about using up so many of the papers I've been hoarding! LOL
ReplyDeleteLove the way you combined the challenges! Shimelle's suggestion to use up papers we don't love anymore was pure genius. Wonderful layout, soooo cute!
ReplyDeleteTotally adorable
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about most of my old K&Co papers. I once bought a pack of theirs that was a super buy. 150 pages comprising of 75 different designs and a few co-ordinating stickers. But it was all discontinued papers and I really don't like hardly any of them!
ReplyDeleteWow - you are the master of this technique or sure. It's one that totally confuses me.

What a gorgeous page Alison and what a sweet puppy.
ReplyDeleteThat's another really great technique! You are starting to persuade me that I might need to go back and buy this class after all :)
ReplyDeleteOh this is too gorgeous Aliuson! SUch sweet photos & the papers are just perfect for them!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a very sweet photo, with great a-h-h- factor! I love the way you have used the papers - a great idea reminding oneself that not all of it will show. And thank-you for your lovely art/happy mail and super card which arrived on Saturday :). I'll be adding it to my blog this week - such a very kind thought and very much appreciated...
