Paper hoarder



I have come to realize that I am a paper hoarder. I love scrapbooking papers and collections and I love shopping for them just as much. The only thing I have trouble with is bringing my self to break into my guarded hoards and actually using them.

 For this layout I broke out my Teresa Collins Timeless which I have been holding onto for over a year now. I also used a picture of myself from high school. I don't have many pictures that I have kept from my younger years (silly teenage years and all I threw out most because I didn't like them.... of course now in my ummmm later years lol I am regretting that because I miss those memories.)

 A perfect reason to get myself motivated enough to break into my stashes are challenges that well challenge me to do so.
Crop Circles a facebook group I am in held a "Throw Back Thursday" day.
Craft Hoarders Anonymous have a "Show Us Your Style" Challenge while urging one to use up their hoarded items. As I mentioned I have hoarded this Teresa Collins Collection for over a year and have used them in my layout using my style of shabby chic meets distressed grunge.
Off the Rails Scrapbooking is also hosting a challenge "Use a photo or memorabilia of a loved one" and this photo is definitely a piece of memorabilia.

    I didn't realize it until I actually looked around but I am a paper hoarder as well...one of my many things to hoard! For a long time I'd buy it but had no idea what to do with it. Your LO is just beautiful! I love the colors you used and am so glad you decided to share with us at Craft Hoarders Anonymous!

    Love the way you have included the element of time and memories into your layout. The patchwork and flowers are beautiful and add dimension, well done. Thanks for joining us at Off the Rails Scrapbooking.
