Pretty Paper Party! Prompt 1

This challenge was to use scraps!
Inspired by Shimelle's Right Now page I decided to do a page about me right now just before my birthday!
I had the ideal photo in mind and here's my page!

papers: K&co Wild raspebery, Studio Calico classic calico dot one and Fancy Pants off to school cards

Thickers by American crafts, leaves, brads and label from stash!

I managed to use papers from K&Co, Studio Calico and Fancy Pants, I love how easily it came together in the end! I also took some advice from Handmade Hannah and spent 5 minutes picking stash during the day and placing it in a 12x12 griplock bag so when I sat down to create it was altogether ready!

Do you have any tips to share to make the scrapping even quicker!

Pretty Paper Party! Ice Breaker

Shimelle asked us what sort of paper person are you!

I would definatly count myself primarily as a paper collector but I also fit into the scrap sorter!
Until recently I would have called myself a collection packer but I've found that I don't always use every sheet so I've been buying more individual papers!
Here is a photo of my paper storage, not everything is kept here (christmas and specific themed paper such as wedding are stored elsewhere!

I've also taken a picture of some of my favourite go to papers, as you can see there are not many as I've recently been using these as the backgrounds to layouts. It's definatly at supply I'll be buying more of!

What papers do you go to time and time again. I'd love to know!



So excited!

I've been refreshing Shimelle.com all day in anticipation of details of Shimelle's newest class and was beginning to think that I'd have to wait till tomorrow!
Good news though I've just refreshed again and the details are up!

A very special party indeed - A Pretty Paper Party!

So are you joining in? Have you got a mountain of stash especially paper you want to put a dent in! Do leave me a comment if you plan to take part! I can't wait, the countdown has begun!
