I was puttering around in my craft room, looking for inspiration and then a YouTube video came up where the crafter was doing a challenge where you punch a bunch of 1½" circles and try to embellish as many as possible in 30 minutes. That piqued my interest and I looked for a paper collection to do that with. I spotted Remember the Magic from Echo Park and I thought this was a perfect way to get embellishments ready for scrapbooking my trip to Disney.
Full disclosure: I ended up working on my embellishments for way more than 30 minutes and even though most of them have a circle in there, I went where inspiration led me and made a wider array than just embellished circles. Doing those embellishment "collections" is something I discovered last year during the peak of confinement and I am really loving those crafting sessions because a) it eliminates the pressure of wondering how to make a full project out of something, as it is just about the embellishment itself, b) it's a great way to get something done when you can't sit at your desk for hours at a time and c) I end up with ornaments that are more unique and involved than if I created something on the spot while I'm working on a specific project.
There are a few embellishments missing from this picture as I proceeded to make a page with some of them right away and I waited until I could take pictures in broad daylight the next day, but it gives you an idea of everything I was able to create while I was mass-producing.
