Using My Stash

This could be a challenge, use things you haven't used is awhile. Funny how we just have to have it, use it for a little while until the next just gotta have thing comes around, well yesterday I dug out some things I haven't used in awhile and came up with this. Even the card stock was in the basket, I had to emboss another small piece cause 2 were already cut and embossed, I cut the swirls and leaves out using Sizzex dies, the flowers I made using both Martha Stewart and Stampin Up punches, even the micro beads I have had for a long time, I did add some stickle. Then sentiment is Heartfelt Creation 3311 Hope In The Lord which I cut out and matted with Spellbinders petite ovals. I saw a card like this over at SCS awhile back, but can't remember whose it was, could be yours???? Anyway, I liked it and that's where the layout came from. Michelle is coming up today to help take Christmas down and put away until next year, so I'll be busy. Yall have a blessed day and I'll catch up with ya later!!!!!

The stamp is from Rubber Stamp Tapestry, ( it's funny how I came to have this one, a friend of mine (Susan), bought 2 of them, you know like we have never done that, so I got one LOL.) Anyway, I cut it out using another circle die. That's it, wish me luck. I sure could stand to win, I want some new stuff and no money to buy any LOL. Yall have a very Blessed day and Happy stamping!!!
