Kit Killing & Stash Busting Part 2

Happy Weekend everyone! Today I want to share with you Part 2 of my Kit Killing & Stash Busting quest. (You can see Part 1 here) .  I decided that for the next several months instead of buying any add on's over at SC, I would just get my main sub, and Add On paper (only if I really love all the papers) and shop my stash, and create my own counterfeit add on kits. Also, I have decided to only use photos that I had printed several years ago that were sitting in a box.

Here is what I came up with for the Office Hours kit



 I have added several things like, inks, embossing powders, and stamps. I also added extra coloured cardstock to match the cardstock add on at SC.

The Objective was to only use what I had pulled together, and not waste time rummaging around my room for stuff

In the end I created 12 layouts

Kit Killing & Stash Busting

Today I wanted to share with you what I was up to this past weekend.  I subscribe to Studio Calico's main scrapbook kit and I am on the Paper Bakery Kit Club DT.  Lately my scrap stash has been growing out of its storage space.  So I decided that for the next several months instead of buying any add on's over at SC, I would just get my main sub, and Add On paper (only if I really love all the papers) and shop my stash, and create my own counterfeit add on kits.

Here is what I came up with for the Sugar Rush kit

Here is the main kit, and my counterfeit add ons all together

I have added several things like, inks, embossing powders, and stamps. I also added extra coloured cardstock to match the cardstock add on at SC.

The objective was to only use what I had pulled together, and not waste time rummaging around my room for stuff.

In the end, I created a total of 13 layouts. I used up all my patterned paper other than 3 sheets ( 2 I gave to my kids to use, because I wasn't crazy about them and the 3rd I am saving for another project) Here is what I made.....















In the end I didn't really have much left over (I forgot to take a picture, sorry), and I used product like stamps, inks and embellishments that have been sitting around collecting dust.

I should also point out that I also challenged myself to use older pictures that were printed and just sitting in a box.

I am really happy how this all turned out, and will be doing the same thing again in the next week or so with my SC Office Hours Main & Add On Paper.
