Stash Busting 101

Are you always on the hunt for card and/or scrapbook patterns?  Would you like FREE patterns?!  How about FREE patterns WITH cutting guides?!?!

You can go to my website anytime and download the Workshop patterns and directions.  Current products have the downloads located with the product kit. You can even directions for retired kits here. If you need directions for a product not shown, just LMK.

You don't need to purchase a workshop kit in order to download the directions. If you DO purchase a kit, you can find the instructions linked in your order history.

1. Login to my website.
2. Click on your name and go to ACCOUNT.
3. Click on ORDER HISTORY.
4. Click on the page icon to the right of the order.
5. Click on the red DOWNLOAD... line.
6. From there you can view, save, or print the directions.

Tip:  If I'm going to use different papers, I often make a note of which is which before cutting. I may even use colored pencils to make a visual reminder. (Sometimes I color them just to keep the front and back sides more obvious.)

Here is the layout I made using the design for one of the double page spreads from It's the Little Things scrapbooking workshop kit.  I substituted almost all of the products originally used (see below for list).

You can use the designs offered by CTMH for inspiration and to bust your stash of craft supplies.  It's much easier for me to find an item that's a close substitute than to start from scratch.  You'll see in this layout that I even used word stickers, hearts, and flowers like in the original.

I used some REALLY old products on this layout!  What is the oldest CTMH item you have in your stash??

Here's a video about this layout.
