August Collection Obsession

Hello again! I am popping on tonight with another quick post.

I am so excited to be joining in with the Crafty Low or No Spend group's 'Collection Obsession' collaboration! Most of the gals are doing videos on Youtube, but there are a few of us playing along on Instagram, as well.

For collection obsession, we are picking a collection from our stash for the month and creating a layout each week using that collection. At the end of the month, we will have at least four layouts made, and hopefully, we will have put a dent into that collection.

For August, I have chosen Echo Park's My Favorite Summer collection:

When this collection came out this year, I loved it! I could not wait to get it, and when I saw the papers, I knew I needed more than just one sheet of each pattern, so I ended up buying two collection packs before I had even made a single layout. And it has sat in my "new" scrappy goodies bin ever since! So, when the opportunity came up to play along with collection obsession, I jumped at the chance!

Along with the two collection packs, I have the sticker book, both ephemera packs, and two packs of enamel dots. I would love to get a good chunk of at least one of the collection packs and the embellishments used up this month.

My plan is to make at least one, maybe two, project life layouts with the cut-apart cards from this collection:

Since I took this photo I have already cut apart the 3x4 cards, the 4x6 cards, and the sheet with a mix of everything on it. The only thing I did not cut apart was the 4x4 cards. I don't tend to use a lot of 4x4 cards in my project life layouts unless they can be cut down to 3x4 or added to a 4x6, and the other side of the 4x4s is a pretty floral paper, so I will only cut into it if I absolutely need it.

I have already pulled out papers that I know I would like to use for a traditional layout, too:

 

I may change my mind once I get my photos pulled, but I really like these papers together.

That will take care of two, maybe three layouts for the month and you will have to stay tuned to see what else I get made up. I will try to post here when I get a layout done or you can follow me over on Instagram where I will be sure to post each layout.

I am adding the list of participants that we have so far below. Be on the lookout for their videos or their posts on Instagram, as well.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog tonight! Have a great night!
