Il y a deux semaines, j'ai partagé avec Brandi un de mes rêves les plus chers et aussi les plus fous : arriver à passer au travers de mes réserves de papiers à motifs et autre matériel de scrapbooking. Celles qui me connaissent bien ou qui ont vu mon atelier rient probablement à gorge déployée en ce moment - et je ne vous en blame pas! Pour y arriver, il faudrait que je n'achète plus jamais rien à partir de maintenant et que je m'attèle à faire du bricolage à temps plein jusqu'à ma belle mort.
Qu'à celà ne tienne, je peux au moins m'approcher du but en essayant! C'est pourquoi j'ai sorti ce soir des restants de papier Cosmo Cricket qui avaient servis à faire ma page Après-ski. De même, j'ai retrouvé de VIEUX autocollants transparents de définitions vendus par Making Memories que j'ai acheté à mes tous débuts en scrapbooking il y a quatre ou cinq ans de cela. En essayant de penser ce que je pourrais bien faire pour les utiliser, je me suis dit que la définition de "relaxer" serait parfaite pour accompagner mon Riley assis dans son fauteuil avec son café. De même, les papiers restent dans le thème « soirée encabané sur le bord du feu de foyer ». Rien de tel que quelques fournitures plus récentes pour redonner un air de jeunesse à nos « vieilles » fournitures.
Je vous lance le défi : utilisez un de vos vieux achats ou un article que vous n'avez pas utilisé depuis des lustres. Et n'oubliez pas de venir partager le résultat!
Two weeks ago, when Brandi came over to stamp, I shared with her one of my dearest wishes: to manage to use all of my paper stash and maybe even all of my scrapbooking supplies. Those that know me well and have seen my scrap room are probably rolling on the floor laughing right now. Can't say I blame you. In order for this goal to ever be achieved, I'd have to stop buying anything new RIGHT now and craft full time until the day I die. And eat healthy food because I will need to die very old.
That being said, even though the odds (and my buying habits) are definitely against me, there's nothing stopping me from trying. Which is just what I did tonight. I used old definition stickers from Making Memories I bought in one of my very first order when I started scrapbooking about five years ago, and leftover papers from my After Ski page. I thought the Relax and Lazy definitiond would be a great match to the Riley drinking coffee sitting confortably in his chair image. The papers also have a log cabin feel to them which is also perfect to match the mood of the stamped image. I was pleasantly surprised to discover the new SU! ribbon is also a perfect match to the papers.
So here's my challenge to you: break out your old supplies and use them on something new! And don't forget to come back to share the result!
