Retired Scrapbooking

Today I'm sharing two scrapbook layouts that feature mostly retired products. The first one was for a challenge to specifically use retired product, lol! I have to admit, many times the things I choose to purchase are for a specific scrapbook project, which is why I hardly ever part with embellishments or 12x12 paper, haha. I don't consider myself a hoarder, but I am holding on to things until the time I get these photos or that printed off and ready to scrap. The day I made these pages I pulled out my son's photo box. In that one box, there are 62 different events, printed and ready to be scrapped- I just need the time! (this is why I set a monthly scrapbooking goal and try my best to achieve it!)

Supplies:
Stamps: Just Perfect ABC (retired)
Ink: Midnight Muse
Paper: Old Olive, Bashful Blue (retired), More Mustard (retired) card stocks, Simply Sent Kit (retired)
Accessories: Pennant Punch, Hodgepodge Hardware (retired), retired buttons

And this layout uses the latest EMS Sketch:

Supplies:
Stamps: Taffy Alphabet (retired)
Ink: Old Olive
Paper: Old Olive & Pumpkin Pie card stocks, Just Add Cake DP (retired)

On the note of scrapbooking, you may have already noticed, but incase you haven't, I'll explain something... The last time I posted a scrapbook page, I also added some things to my sidebar. Cheryl is a fabulous scrapper and I have used her sketches plenty of times (like today!). One thing I love about her blog is that its so easy to find a sketch to fit the photos I have, instead of the other way around - which is much more time consuming, haha. Goodness knows I have plenty of pages shared on this blog and it would save me a lot of time if I too could just find a cute way to scrap 8 photos...or 3...or whatever I happen to have! So under the sidebar section "Find My Stamps" I now have labels to help me easily find layouts I already like, for those times when I just want to crank out some pages! Give it a shot- you might find a layout you love too!
