Stashbusting...Full Speed Ahead!

With all of the new collections that I loved coming out at CHA, I figured I had better take a swing at using up some of my enormous stash before I make any orders/or start playing with any new supplies!
My favorite way to use up my stash is to make a kit from it! It makes it so much easier just to grab a kit and knock out a few layouts, instead of pulling out half of my stash any time I want to create a page. So, with that in mind, I checked out a few of my favorite sources for kit creating inspiration:

• Shimelle's Best Of Both Worlds kit for February
• The Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog
• Scrappypedia's Scrap Stash Kit club

I really have oodles and oodles of products that could be Valentine's day themed or related, so I made up 2 kits. My first kit is based off of the currently trending colors and patterns for Valentine's; reds, pinks, navy, and aqua. I didn't include much in the way of embellies in this kit, but a rather large assortment of stamps that I am determined to use this month, as a rather large portion of them remain untouched. My first kit, Hearts and Flowers:

It is filled with papers from Basic Grey (several collections-old and new!), and has a bit of MME, Crate, Heidi Grace, Doodlebug, and Graphic 45 thrown in as well.

A closer look at just the papers:

And my second kit, mostly inspired by the Modern Romance kit by scrappypedia, is black and red, softened by touches of pink, cream, and gray. When I saw her kit, I immediately knew that I wanted to use the MME Lost&Found 3 collection that I won a few months ago! I mixed it in with some other bits and goodies that I felt would go well with the collection, and came up with my second kit for February,  Romantic Interlude:

There's no lack of embellishments in this one! I added in papers from DCWV, Jenni Bowlin, Crate, GCD Studios, and SEI, lots of yummy washi tape, Vinyl Thickers shapes and alphas, Doodlebug Paper Frills, some paper mini roses, Tiny Type stickers, and a few loose die cuts.

A look at my papers only:

So, that's 2 HUGE kits...lets see how much scrapping I get done this month...I will keep you updated!
