USE YOUR STASH - Glimmer Mist & Paper Lace Borders

First of all, I love supplies that can be used over & over & over again. Glimmer mists are one of those...so versatile and long lasting. I use these a lot. I started with a light grey cardstock and just sprayed red and gold glimmer mists over it. It looks very sparkly in real life.

I had a package of Flair paper lace borders that needed to be used up, so that was the beginning of this layout design.

This turned out to be one of my favorites -- a photo taken totally out of the blue just because I thought you looked so darn cute!

USE YOUR STASH - Epoxy Buttons & Brads

For this layout I wanted to use up some Making Memories epoxy buttons that I've had in my stash. I started with a Heidi Swapp mega circle mask and inked a large circle in the center of the layout. I then added the title (another supply you've seen a lot of---Tinkering Ink's die cut alphas) before filling in the rest of the circle with epoxy buttons. The patterned paper not only anchors the photo but the journaling strip as well. I added brads underneath the journaling to break up the circle and balance out the layout.

Korbin flashed us this grin during the concert in Mr. Stein's classroom. This is the part where you were singing "We Like Broccoli."
