Making Room for the New Stuff

I'm figuring it won't be long now before stores are inundated with new products after the recent CHA trade show. What does that mean? Time to dig into my stash and use some of it up so that's there's room for the new stuff, especially everything on my wish list! :) I have been digging into recent, older, and ancient products lately, and here are some of the fun things I've created. More to come in another post soon...

The Source
Super simple, but I love how those forks worked out! I die cut them from the background cardstock after printing my journaling and then backed them with Lily Bee Design patterned papers. I love the motion that the herringbone and chevron patterns add to the direction of the forks.

Live Colorfully, with Monsters
I started this layout with the Simple Stories Sn@p cards, the photos, and the die-cut title block, and then inspiration struck! I decided to pull the gems off the center of the Pebbles paper flowers and replace them with googly eyes to match my daughter's pom pom monsters. Then, of course, I had to replace the center of the "o" with a googly eye as well. Some Bella Blvd and Pebbles washi tapes balanced the colors and I was done.

Grocery List Bomb
I thought this was a very clever title until no one in my family got it. :P My daughter snuck some items (fancy cheese, of course!) and a picture onto my grocery list and I was thinking that this was a "grocery list bomb" kind of like a "photo bomb." Anyway...this was a good opportunity to use some fun Jillibean Soup grocery cart patterned paper and some Kelly Purkey badges along with a few other things.

Home Sweet Home 
Gotta throw a card into the mix, too! I had fun with this one, creating a cut file in Silhouette Studio, pulling out the sewing machine for the first time in a while, and cutting those cute little Lily Bee Design houses so the doors swing open and pop dotting them (along with some hearts) for a bit of dimension.
