Out with the old....

The "Sound of Music" song of "so long, fair well..." comes to mind when I think about the changing of  annual catalogs with Stampin' Up!  On one hand, it's sad to see some of you favorites go, and if you are like me, you tend to hoard your favorites.  But, I can promise that the new catalog is amazing and worth it!  Because of the upcoming changes, I felt inspired to do a little de-cluttering and try to use up some of my scraps and bits that have either already departed or will so be no longer available to make room for all the amazing new things coming in a week.  I went a little crazy this weekend, so this might end up being a two-parter to fit it all in!

First up, I found these darling burlap canvases a while back, and luckily stocked up on a few sets.  Today, I used some scraps of paper and ribbon to create these cute guys.  

Items used: Scaps from Quatrefancy Specialty DSP, Etcetera DSP, Eastern Elegance DSP, and Epic Day DSP, Gold Sequin Trim, Rosettes and SAB Pool Party Ribbon, Soft Suede and Crisp Cantaloupe Ink, Tea Lace Paper Doilies, Hot Glue Gun.




Second, I used some additional Epic Day paper and the Floral Framelits to make a cute banner.  Ribbon scraps helped finish this guy up.



More "out with the old" projects coming soon- stay tuned!
