Use it to make something Thursday:

It's not a mystery. I have tons of scrapbooking supplies. My mom says "it's like a store". A very messy, messy store in a basement anyway. I like the things I buy, but I do donate things a lot just to clear my head and the space. It feels good. But during the cleaning up/donating process, I always run across something that I really want to use but I just haven't found "the perfect layout" yet. For me, "the perfect layout" just does not exist. If I held on to products until the perfect subject, or perfect photo came along, I wouldn't have anything scrapped in the last 10 years. Hence, "Use it to make something Thursday". I'll take some things I've been holding onto, and simply use them to make something. Anything. But, usually a layout.
So, here's the first installment. The "Use It" products in the first layout is the Luxe round rub-ons. Very cute, and they've been laying around forever. So, I layered the black and white circles on top of each other on the new Colorbok patterened paper from Michaels "Forest Friends". Presto! A layout about Owen staying with Grandma J while I was at my first scrapping retreat.

For the second, there are a couple "Use It" products…..the tiny frame from Pebbles, the Basic Grey, used for the frame and base, and the old MME stripe patterned paper covered with paint and glitter to try to make it look vintage-y.
