Winter Crop Use It Up - winner

[1scrappymom]

The winner is Mandylee!  Thanks everyone who participated. I still need to go back and leave love on them all but I am so impressed!!

Hey Cherries! Good morning and welcome to the Winter Crop!! I know many of us are excited about all the new releases that will be coming up in the next few weeks so I want to make sure we are making room in our stash! For this reason, I am issuing the following challenge:

Use an entire package/sheet/etc. of an embellishment on your layout. This can be a partial package that you want to use the rest of as long as we have an empty package when your layout is complete. 

The SECOND part of the challenge is to use something you've been hoarding on your layout as well. Out with the old. 

For my layout, I used up an entire package of flowers from 49 and Market and I used an OLD MME frame. I also made a pretty good dent into this sticker sheet.  If you'd like to watch the PROCESS VIDEO, you can do so HERE




Here are the RULES
1 Use and entire package of embellishments and add something you've been hoarding. Post a picture of the package along with your layout. 
2 ONE entry per person
3 Winner will receive a $5 GC from ACOT
4 DUE DATE January 23 11:59pm
5 NO COMBINING with other challenges

[wimom]

Great challenge -- I have so-o-o many wonderful scrappy things to use up!

[Jolly Holly Scraps]

THIS is a good challenge! I'm gonna save my spot here!

This is a great challenge! Now to figure out what package to use up!! LOL

This has been on my to list forever so thanks for the push to get it done.
Had this Marlins package minus one jersey, used the rest of the package. Hoarding object - red brads (I have so many)

[Florac74]

Oooh this is a great challenge and chance for me to get into my stash

[emmapaige]

I used all Basic Grey - chipboard and papers are from the Dasher collection. If using a whole pack/sheet were not required I probably wouldn't have included the snowman or bird or whatever that thing is under the tickets.  I think it's supposed to be a fruit cake. LOL!

Love your page!

Great challenge for using up stash, which is a goal for many of us.  Love the LO too!

Love it! It feels so good to have an empty package sometimes!

I love how your embellishments add whimsy to the layout! Great job. Oh how I miss Basic Grey!!!!

Here is mine.  I used up an old Crate Paper packet, dug into a new Thickers packet.  I also used 2 of the 3 things I hoard...  washi and enamel dots.

Here's my entry. I've been hoarding the entire Bo Bunny Zip-A-Dee-Doodle collection. I had used a little of it, but love it so much I couldn't part with it. Your challenge helped me get over my hoarding issue and I didn't put it back in the drawer. It will sit out where I can use it. I also finished a pack of embellishments too.

[scrappinmom99]

Great challenge idea. It's a good feeling to use something up and I also have soooo many old things I've hoarded lol. 

[joannie]

Here is mine. I have saved every tiny scrap of my Scenic Route Liberty collection. After this layout my biggest scrap is probably 2". I miss Scenic Route. They were one of my favorite companies. I used up a opened sheet of those glitter stars. I added a photo of those.

Here's my layout. I used up a sheet of Jillibean Soup stickers. 19 in total. I've also been hoarding veneers, so I used 5 (a dog, a cat, 2 stars and a heart)

[Amy Jo]

I used up an old vellum floral sticker sheet and allowed myself to use some of my precious “Nana’s Nursery” paper scraps. (I’m hoarding the few pieces and scraps I have left…not sure why other than I love all the cute patterns.)




What I had left to work with:


Empty sheet. (It’s cut apart because these stickers have ZERO forgiveness if you position them wrong! I cut them out and position them on my layout with backing still attached until I’m sure of the positioning I want to use.)

[Karyn_Sue]

Here's mine -

My hoarded item is the paper I used for my title "Gone Fishing". It is a pack of camping/great outdoors paper that I have had for at least 10 years and I keep "saving it for the right layout". LOL



I used what was left over from a package of fishing stickers - the insert with the brand name, etc is long gone - I don't often keep those.
