Scrapping Our Stash Monthly Blog Hop

Hello friends! Happy Friday!  You should have arrived here from Laura's  blog at http://scrapaddict4life.blogspot.com/ but if not you can start at the beginning. See the list below.
Today is the last Friday of the month and I am thrilled to be joining in with Scrapping our Stash Blog Hop!!!  For this month the theme is "anything goes" and I am going to share a few layouts that I created from my 2014 MME Calendar kit. 

 Since 2014 was over, I decided to take each month and create layouts with them....I trimmed some of the background parts off and mounted them on similar MME paper. I have a ton of that in my stash that I have been saving....hoarding....no saving for quite some time! It is after all some of my favourite papers!

 Here is the first layout that I created....

I purchased this kit in about March or April of last year for a mere $5 and hadn't actually completed the first 3 or 4 months. I just did a month at a time and added a current photo. This is one of the first months that I had not completed. The colours suited this photo perfectly that I took of my grandson when we were in search of the perfect Christmas tree. To complete the layout I added some twine, brads and a Thickers title and voila....a completed layout.


This next one was from the month of November. Our wedding anniversary is in November and so I printed off a picture of my hubby from 1978 when we were dating. Again to complete the layout, I trimmed the background portion off, mounted it on a MME from my stash. Added some buttons, brads and some machine stitching along with more Thickers, for layout number two!


For the third layout that I am going to share today, it is another one of the pages from the first few months. Again, I trimmed the background, mounted on another paper from my hoarded stash, added some extra embellies and Thickers and a lovely picture of my grandson on Christmas Day. Presto....three layouts.

I will share the other 9 layouts on another post in the near future. Stay tunned.

 I would love to hear what you think of my creations. I will be offering a RAK that will be drawn randomly from anyone who becomes a follower (either by email, Goggle follower, bloglovin or Network Blogs) and leaves a comment below. Sorry, due to the cost of postage, this will be limited to Canada and the United States only.  I will make the draw on February 7th.
Thanks for stopping by, now hop on over to Christine's blog at http://scrappingwithchristine.blogspot.com  and see what she created!!!
Here is the full list of the blog hop.....

    Love the layering on the layouts. The picture always remains the centerpiece of the design. too many layouts get overly fussy.
    thanks for sharing.
