Scrapping Our Stash Blog Hop - My Whole World using BasicGrey

It's the last weekend of January, and so you know what that means? We're having a blog hop to help use some our large stashes! And boy, do I stash.  And then I stash more. And then I do a little hoarding. And then new collections come out, and I buy more. <ahem>

Anywaaaay...you should've arrived from Juliana's blog with her gorgeous layout about her puppy. Such fun projects so far, so take a peek at my layout, scroll down to enter in a giveaway, and then keep hopping for more fun projects. Here we go!

So I got out my BasicGrey Typeset collection and used a dash of some BasicGrey Sunkissed embellishments to go along with it. (I'm soooo bummed they are leaving the industry.) :(

I wanted a way to use several patterns from the Typeset 6x6 paper pad without overwhelming the photo. So, I started by pairing 5 papers from the paper pad and cutting 0.75" wide strips into 1.5" lengths for a bunch of "bricks" to layer as the bottom border.

I layered them in three rows, stuck them down with a dab of adhesive, and then sewed along each row. I stuck a few sequins and gems along the stitching and then popped up the "Capture This Moment" sticker with 3D foam tape.

I put another row of the "bricks" at the top and sewed again, this time adding the embellishment cluster.

Then I focused on my photo area by layering a few sheets of the 6x6 pad leftover from the strips. I created a few tabs and a photo corner too.

Finally the title using the alpha stickers from Sunkissed and the word "whole" cut with my Cameo, with some added stitching.

I hope this inspires you to CUT UP some of your 6x6 paper pads and have fun with them!
