Some old Authentique

for the win on Jersey shore photos.

Of course what's the shore without googly eyes

on a QK die cut crab. The leaves the crab is

resting on is a Martha Stewart punch. I love punches.

 I used papers from my 6x6 pad I had forever, and

laid them out on 12x12 white cardstock in a quad format.
Quite old school.
Old school can be good.

 Finally used that flair button and didn't that work well

with the colors.

Loving doing sequence photos lately and because I have a bunch

they turned out to be fun and adorable.

Used some dylusions mists - and wa-la.

I like it.

Old Sassafrass Lass paper

I've been into using stash - not because it was stash, although it's always cool to whittle down the vast amount of papers and to not waste the tree that went into that stash, but because it actually

works for the photo and story. 

What you may not have been attracted to in the past actually rocks your little scrap world now. 

How cool is that.

I have subscribed to kits in the past and raise your hand if you DIDN'T love everything you received.

It really makes sense and I was okay with that because at times it made me spread my wings a bit.

Now the paper I used on this page isn't earth shattering out there and why I haven't used it prior to this I really can't say. I'm glad that as I was searching for something else this popped into my hands.

I love that I was able to use newer items like washi, wooden veneers, Simple Stories labels, mists, and twine and they all made the page. And maybe if I hadn't told you - you wouldn't remember how old this paper is. Or maybe you would. 

My philopsophy is 100 years from now no one is going to know I didn't use the latest and greatest on any given page.

However isn't great to USE NEW STUFF!

I love that stamp too, which is new from my Studio Calico kit. 

I just need to remember to keep an eye on my same brand of  inks when choosing inks and not just grab one. I wanted black and ended up with grey and didn't trust that I could line it up correctly.

ooooppps.....However, it really out well.
