Stacking them Up!

Image

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

  4. I 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!

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...
