Simply Shirley - Use It or Lose It

Today is the first 'Use it or Lose It' Simply Shirley. My scraproom is becoming crowded with leftover paper or paper packets where I procrastinated beyond belief.

Each week, I will be using a paper packet from my stash.

I want no paper to feel left out, stuck in the back of the bin, waiting it's turn to be used to create beautiful layouts and other projects.

Enough of that, here is the paper packet I picked for this week. Sophia was one of the My Reflections paper packets introduced in 2011 Spring/Summer Idea Book. Anticipating the unveiling of the new 2012 Spring/Summer Idea Book and because it is cold and this paper made me think of warm, it was the perfect choice for my first of many 'Use It or Lose It' posts.

When opened, I could see I had pre-cut for the Workshop on the Go layouts, so I began putting them together.

I also found beautiful coordinating My Stickease (stickers). Each of the two sheets of the My Stickease has a sample layout on the back, which is perfect for the leftover paper.

Pictured are the first three layouts under construction. I have plans for at least 2 more over this 'Use It or Lose It' weekend. I will share the completed projects on my blog over the weekend.

Do you have a boat load of leftover paper or paper you just could not live without and now cannot remember what you had planned? Join me this weekend and create one project using your stash. Leave me a comment below letting me know what you created.

This is just the beginning for these layouts as the remain unblinged and unfinished, not to worry that will change before the end of the weekend.

Check back soon for more 'Use It or Lose It' fun.
