At the top of the pile in drawer #2 of my super cute Lingerie chest (that I found at a resale shop) was Emporium. My card stash was low, but I never start there when using up scraps. I always try to squeeze out as many scrapbook layouts as possible, first.
Without further ado, here they are:

A childhood friend lost her baby boy back in August, and I plan to use most of these layouts in a scrapbook album that she can personalize to remember her sweet Jayce by. After creating 6 pages, I was left with small scraps that were perfect for cards.
I used a lot of retired product for this challenge.

Great layouts and cards! Good for you for using up that pack. It was one of my favs :)
ReplyDeleteHoly Moly that's a lot of projects!! And, Emporium was one of my favorite paper packs EVER!
ReplyDeleteI love it and WOW did you ever use it up!! Emporium for a baby is perfect. I may be lifting a few of these, is that okay?
ReplyDeleteWow, that is amazing! I'm sure it was a ton of fun using up that paper and making all those projects! They are all wonderful! I have some of that paper left and you've given me some great ideas to use it up!
ReplyDeleteWOW! what a lot of projects you got done! AWESOME!! very nice idea for the layouts for your friend.
ReplyDeleteI love all the stuff you got done with that paper. You really worked through your stash. I must admit that I loved emporium, and was nice enough to share a kit of it with my upline to recently find someone selling it. So of course I bought it and now need something to do with it, and my friend is having a baby boy. The layout outs are beautiful and the cards are just adorable... love it all!
ReplyDeleteWOW Casandra, you have created a wonderful group of artwork. I am sure your friend will be overwhelmed with this gift.
