Something old and something new

Isn't that what we all want to do? Use our older papers and embellies with the new stuff we just found at the store (and couldn't resist buying...lol) to make the perfect layout.

Well, I was a busy bee this weekend at a crop with friends and I was determined to use some of my older stash with my newer goodies.  Not everything you see above is available at the store, but you might just have some in your current stash.

I have always loved the acrylic letters and shapes.  Heidi Swapp and Making Memories had great acrylics!  I think I bought some of those letters over 3 years ago....but, they still look great.

Materials:

Paper: 

October Afternoon "Crunching Leaves" and HOMETOWN "Journaling Cards"

Cosmo Crickets "Mr Campy" line (the leaves)

And The Paper Company (not sure, this was a scrap of old paper with the label cut off)

Acrylic letters from Heidi Swapp and Making Memories

Brads: Making Memories

Fabric Label: Junkitz (I actually got it straight from Teresa Collins....who is the TERESA COLLINS of Teresa Collins Designs!! but WAYYYYYY back when, she was working for Junkitz)

Metal/Epoxy tab: some more leftovers I found in my big bag of goodies...also old and not to be found at Picture This.

Ok, so I didn't journal on my journaling card, but I usually don't put that info on the blog (plus I might just put the year of the trip in the space instead)...we'll see, I have to check out my supplies for more things I can put on there....

So, get out your old stash and find some of those little things you forgot about.
