Since Cathie, Krista, and I had so much fun a couple of weeks ago with the impromptu Bash Your Stash blog hop, other people wanted in on the fun too so today you’re getting a bunch of us!
For this week, I pulled out some super old, 2008 or earlier old, Basic Grey (Bittersweet) and Scenic Route (Loveland) paper. Both are Valentine’s themed but I used them to scrap one of Miss M’s 4th birthday pics.
Once again I did a bunch of layers – really starting to get the hang of it now and loving it!
I stuck on some gold chevron washi tape:
and some Uniball Signo Gold gel pen:
Added some pink twine because Krista has me hooked on that technique:
finished it off with some hidden journaling (because, as usual, I forgot the journaling until the LO was done!):
and called it done!
I love how it turned out with the browns and pinks, perfect for my brown-eyed girl and her Strawberry Shortcake birthday cake!
The Paperie is next on the hop so head over there and see what they have!
If you want to start at the beginning and see all the “old made new again”, here’s the full list of participants:

I totally needed to see this today!! I have Scenic Route arrows and it’s bugging me that I haven’t used them. My ‘thing” for 2013 is to use up my stash. It’s going, but some things are bugging me and those arrows were one of them. Thanks for posting – you may see an arrow later this week on my blog lol.

You make the layering look effortless, I suck at it… And will try again, as I love what you’ve done. And, it goes without saying your girl is a sweet little pixie! Inspired!!

Thanks Rose! The layering took practice for me but now I’m faster at that than I ever was at regular scrapping!

I loved both of those collections that you chose. Sadly I have none left of either, used them up long ago! Great job on all that layering! Love how you incorporated the journalling. And the M, she is just such a cutie!

Thanks Liz! There were only scraps of the SR but that chipboard piece and the arrow were perfect. Unbelievably, almost all the BG was there – kind of sad, actually, since I do love that collection!
