Here is my LO for Ann's Stash Buster Chaloenge this week. We were to frame at least one photo or journal box, use eyelets, and use a die cut or punched shape.
About those eyelets!!! I know why I have so many! They are not easy to use! I have to read the directions on my Crop-A-Dile every time I use it. All I can say is whoever sold us on buying all those eyelets years ago is problably very rich! We all have tons of these eyelets! LOL Almost done with this cruise album! Oh, the little booklet on the left page, has my new friends names and emails and autographs. Thank you Ann for the challenge, and TFL.

I hear what you are saying about those eyelets. I never gave it a thought as to why I have so many!! BECAUSE I Never use them, too hard!! You made a super page Sharon which brings you fond memories I'm sure. Great use of eyelets and mulberry paper!

I completely agree with you on the eyelets! I donated most of mine, still have a few (one craft container full)!! I never bought the crop-a-dile. I have the old fashioned eyelet setter...yikes! I love the way you used them on your pages! Great start in getting rid of them...LOL. Thanks for playing!

What great pages Sharon and you look like you are having SO much fun! I love the way you embellished your pages. Now for eyelets, I LOVE those things, especially for scrapbooking. Of course I didn't need every color in the rainbow though. I set them with a hammer. So easy that way and no sore hands. Thanks for the reminder to drag them out and start using all 10,000 of them!

Sharon, I like the way you used the eyelets on the title box and another GREAT use of the mulberry paper ...you're making me want some, LOL. BTW, looks like you were having fun on the cruise & I esp like the little cruise momento as an embellishment

Fun page!
I know...I laugh at how important eyelets were to me! I never got the crop o dile either- just a hammer and a tool. But it was a big deal then!!

Fun page, Sharon! What a fun trip! Looking back at old photos makes scrapbooking so worth it. Yeah for using eyelets, and I love the bit of crocheted ribbon that you used, too!
