If The Scrap Fits

Ok, so as we spoke a few days ago, my crafty goal this year is to use up my  Scrapbook & Cards Today  Samplers as they come in. So January has some fun goodies from Webster’s Pages, Photo Play Paper and American Crafts. I’m highlighting today the cards from the  Photo Play Paper p ieces we got. Now this set of papers is from their Hello New Year II set. I don’t make New Year’s cards and I rarely take pictures for New Year’s to warrant a layout. So what could I create with this…. Quite a bit actually. My first card is a wedding card! The champagne die cut and the DP are from PPP, the foil die cut and the glitter paper as well as the sequins are from my stash.  I added some washi from Stampin Up as I thought it went really well with this line.

Last year I used up only 1 of my 12 samplers (the January one) ...sooooo this year, it is my goal to create some projects with each one as it arrives that month and hopefully before the next one does.  I will also be trying to incorporate the one from the previous year, so it may work out to be last year's within the first 2 weeks of the month and then the current year in the last 2 weeks..we will see how it goes!
