Hocus Pocus

Happy Sunday! 

This weekend I was finally able to play with some fabulous papers! 

Here is a double layout I created with the 

Echo Park - Hocus Pocus Paper collection! 

I loved the sticker sheet! 

It had all the perfect elements for my layouts. 

Added some sequins too! Craft Medley Dazzling Metallics

Look for this kit coming soon to Scrappin Great Deals!

Practical Scrappers - Life is good

Although I did not make it further than the 2nd round I had prepared this sketch just in case I made it to the next round. I used Echo Park paper. Inking my edges, making flowers with my CTMH cartridge. Adding Pebbles embellishments and pieces here and there from my stash.

Yes I cheated!!!!

Okay, Okay...I cheated!! I know! I know! I cheated on myself with my own resolution. I said I would use my scraps first before digging into my paper stash. But I couldn't help it! Plus I did use a few pieces from my stash on my page!!!

It all started a couple of days ago when I put my New Years resolution into place. I cleaned up my scrap area, sorted all my papers by manufacture. organized my scraps, placed everything nicely. Then realized I was a paper hoarder. Yep. I always thought that I didn't have that much....ahhhh but..... then when putting it all together discovered this was my cardstock stash.

Then I sorted through the rest of my papers and found that this was my patterned paper stash....{gulp}You know when your husband sees these stacks on the table...it is so hard to say or dream of saying "I really need that new paper line!!!"  So I made the resolution that I would use my scraps and deplete my stock... I am not going to dare show you my two boxes of scraps. Which led to another big wow. this was my BoBunny stash...

Well this is kinda my BoBunny stash I also found not pictured...two {all un-opened} packs of their Forever Fall Collection, and Gabrielle, Timepiece, Enchanted, Et Cetera, Garden Girl, Welcome Home, Zoology, Vicki B, Midnight Frost and a Cambridge pack too.... ! Yes you have read right! So now you see my need to use or go through some of my paper.  Anyways, I was company coding my papers and realized that some paper companies that I didn't think I was a big fan of...I guess I am because I have tones of their paper. And well I discovered that I am a big fan of Echo Park! Well then I came upon the Practical Scrappers Sketch site and saw this sketch...and decided to play along with this sketch. Plus I still had not scrapped our family pictures taken by Barb Weir Photography. We had a great time with Barb and Cherie.

Practical Scrappers

I did lots of distressing and tried to stay true to the natural look of the paper. So I didn't ink. Loving all the layers.

Cut up the tickets in half and used them for a border. Loved the title so I just kept the Title of the page and worked around it.

Love my layers! And added a few pieces here and there of my stash. Such as buttons, bling and misc pieces I had. 

Thank you for visiting! Have a great night! or Morning!
