Stash Busting | Literally!

I scrapped along with Stash Busting yesterday.  When I recently redid my craft room I collated all of the half dones and page kits/idea bags and vowed to get them used up.  These two layouts resulted in two empty bags and one slightly slimmer less full bag! This is Grammercy Road by Gossamer Blue.  I love this collection and wish they were still around making more collections.  I didn't bust the bag but I did have fun and get some used up. The Stash Busting prompt was to use no right angle with  the exception of your photo and 12x12 sheet.  I started off promisingly but as I cut my triangles in half I created right angles.  Doh! I also got a few cork pieces (SpiegelMom Scraps) and some thin wood veneer (Color Cast Designs) used up.  I find both these materials hard to get on the page so I was rather chuffed to have used both on the same page! Next up a photo and title from one bag and some black and white scraps from another....

Stash Busting

 I'm guest designing for Stashbusting this month and have these two layouts to share... The theme to bust this month is sequins.  Hmm... I wonder why they chose me as guest designer?  Hahaha! Supplies for this layout are from my Quirky Custom Card kit along with sequins and Shimmerz from SpiegelMom's.  The second layout uses an entire pack of Doodlebug sequins that I have had in my stash for 5+ years.  It's not a difficult technique by any means, it just takes time to stick each sequin down individually. I've also pulled out my favourite sewing technique.  Sew and skip, let's call it that.  Sew the first stitch in the first colour (lime in this case) and then skip ahead for the next stitch.  I had five thread colours so skipped four holes before the next lime stitch.  Once you've finished the entire row you then go back with your second colour, then the third etc.  The paper layers I've used are snippe...
