NSD Crop Challenge | Get Creative with Kit Items with Mandie Pierce

I loved the stars in the April kits but just couldn't get them to work.

I had a hard time deciding what to use the lenticular card and have had it for a while. I decided to use it to make a handmade card.

Chipboard frames. I love them but have a hard time using them. They always end up in my give away pile.

I never planned to use the wood veneer butterflies from the Bird and the Bees kit. Until I went to EPCOT and got a photo of a butterfly on my hand! I just copied what Nancy Damiano did with painting the veneer. Not very original, but it's hard to improve on her idea.

I made layout using Young at heart scrapbook kit.

I made a birtday layout with a pack of Studio Calcio numbers (cannot remember which kit they were from.....they were loose in a box of embellies)

I didn't know how to use these die cuts so I just lined them up on the bottom of my picture:

I had an entire box of frames that I had been collecting because they never seemed to fit anywhere. I also had some photos that I had printed from my cross country trip in 2015 that I ever used in my mega album,
I cut them up and made a collage. Great stash buster!

I used the numbers from Film Club and lined them up on this page:

I wasn't sure how I would use those circles in the Lens kit this month. I tried it with a photo I had and turned it into my title. https://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/202674-my-view

A great way to dig into the stash and use pieces that I haven't

I got real creative with die cuts from the Starry Night kit, Domestic Bliss, by using them in my travel journal! I normally have a hard enough time using die cuts in my layouts, but I thought they worked perfectly for my travel journal. I used the speech bubble " um, I don't think so" to convey how I think I am going to feel about skipping sleep while traveling overseas and right into sightseeing, and the house as my hotel. The other sentiments I used worked as well. It feels good to finally start using some of the items I don't ever use.

I have kept that wood veneer grid piece from the Cirque kits for forever, so I thought it was time I put it to use! And I like what I did with it! https://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/202732-love-you

Remember those odd-shaped enamel things from Camelot? Sort of a flower, sort of a crown? I used 5 of them. Only a couple left.

I used the frosty / clear enamel dots from the Underground Card kit. I love those dots but rarely use them. I find them hard to incorporate into a project.

I wasn't sure how to use the heart stickers from Film Club - I used them with foam dots here:

The label paper was my favorite paper from Film Club, but I didn't know how to use it at first. I ended up cutting it up and I love the result!

I LOVE what you've done w both types of conversation bubbles; thanx for the inspiration!

I used up the 6 leftover number tickets from Film Club to mat my photo:

I used many SC kit items, I just don't know/remember which kit they are from (oops!)
