My Lovely Stash

If you missed my post introducing this new photo series, My Lovely Stash, go here.

By far, scrapbooking supplies (from paper to embellishments to tools) are the most represented items in my stash.

If you haven't scrapbooked before or stepped into a scrapbook store (in real life or online)  in a long time, you may not have seen the gorgeous supplies available today.

One of my favorite scrapbook designers is Elizabeth Kartchner: her style is young, trendy and oh-so-lovely!

Gold sequin trim, striped clothespin

Check out this gold sequin trim.

And these printed chipboard pieces. Love the hand-drawn fonts and the modern color scheme.

Printed chipboard by Dear Lizzy (Lucky Charms Collection), leaf stickpin, mini Instagram.
Bone china tea cup saucer and kamani wood tray (thrifted).

I will always love scrapbooking and taking photos. And so, I will probably always be buying more scrapbook supplies to add to my lovely stash.

Thanks for stopping by today!

My Lovely Stash

I have a confession to make. I am a hoarder.

As a scrapbooker and now a craftypreneur, I have accumulated a lot of stuff in my lifetime:
Paper (so much paper), tools, finished projects, in-progress projects, supplies for projects I will probably never start.

I've tried to clean up my studio many times, but it never quite works because I can't get rid of the Stuff. Can you relate?

So instead of trying to purge everything, I thought I would try something new.

I will take a photo, showing off my supplies in a  pretty way. Because isn't that why I hold on to them? Because they are pretty, too cute to throw out or chuck. They have potential to turn into to something even cuter (or at least they do if I had the time/energy/fill in the blank).

I hope to share photos of My Lovely Stash on my blog on a regular basis. Hopefully, I can find (and share) some inspiration, clean up my room a bit, practice my photography and finally put some of these goodies to good use!

Mini cupcake liners, star buttons, scrapbooking paper, kraft paper, paper punch.

I thought I'd start small. These are some star buttons I picked up at Joann's. Little bits of pretty. I was sorting through a box of miscellaneous Stuff and found these buttons along with these cupcake liners and this pack of scrapbook papers. I wrote the caption on a kraft paper punched with my favorite paper punch.

Thanks for stopping by today!
