Use That Stuff, be it, papers, stamps, die cuts, all that stuff you have laying around and you saying, I'll use that soon..well, this week is the week..USE THAT STUFF..
This is my card base, not new and not old, just card stock.
These papers I've had for such a long time, hoarding them and occasionally getting them out then saying not today..
same with these beautiful envelopes
scraps of scrapbook papers..
same..
It was a gorgeous pad I held onto, but now I've use it.
and cut up panels to line the envelopes..
see...so pretty..
Made and glued panels onto my card..
And use this stencil I've had forever and stenciled dots.
Envelopes getting put into place..
and using every scrap I could find in the neutrals..
This card now turning into a booklet..
I also made little envelopes with coffee dyed papers and lined them..
and in place..
more scraps and leftovers to die cut into tags a fill pockets..
packaging cardboard..
and added frames..
and filling and envelope..
made a closure and added some beads on the tassel..
Had this notebook type of thing I made in my stash as it came out a bit crooked and never used it, but have now..
See.,..crooked..

envelope with tags
Opened up fully..

Oh, wow! Did you and Brenda plan these? Because really, both of you ladies have outdone yourselves this week. These are just awesome, Chrissy!!! As always I am so impressed by all the detail in your projects. Love the vintage feel to these, too.
You did a beautiful job of creating with all your unused stuff, it all came together beautifully in a great design too, love all the pockets and waterfall element, so many ways to add goodies to it!
Good luck with more of the scrapbook stuff :)
Fantastic make, Chrissy! I love to follow your process, it's great that you always provide photos of all the steps.
Wow, that is a beautifully stuff booklet portfolio, Chrissy and you've loaded it with what you do best. I have to tell you that I read my hubby your strawberry advice. He pointed to the corner of the garage porch and said look. He'd bought a bale of hay! He's now got hay covering all his new plants, lol. Then he's so funny, he says that's why they call them STRAWberries, lol. Not true, but still made me laugh, he knows I like plays on words. XOX
