Hello everyone!
Today I am embracing the challenge and figuring out how to use the rest of this Swag Bag kit! I was looking at the supplies I had left and the puffy shaker stickers really stood out to me. But they really reminded me of like Rainbow Bright and My Little Pony... which were the things I watched when I was a kid. Since I was born in 1984 I really do consider myself to be an 80's kid... my 80's style lasted a few years in to the 90's too unfortunately, haha! This layout is all about my style as a kid in the 80's...
This layout is fairly simple. I found this background paper in a Shimelle paper pad I have and thought it was perfect for this layout with the cassette tape players and old phones. Talk about a throwback paper!

![Project Life | NC State Fair 2016| Stash Supplies Process Video
Hello friends!!
Todays video features a Project Life page! I am forever behind in my albums but Im ok with that. The main thing is that with every page I complete thats one more memory captured! One thing I do need to focus on though is taking more photos... Im not as good at doing that on a daily basis. Thats something to work on, but for now... Ive got some fun photos from 2016 when we went on our annual trip to the NC State Fair in Raleigh, NC!
The kit Im using is a kit I put together probably 2 months ago... its just been sitting there waiting for me to finish using it. When I use stash kits Im not so rigid with it that I have to use it up, but when it still inspires me I keep it together until it no longer inspires me. I think because I have just been working with it on and off that the products are still interesting to me, Im not bored with it yet, haha. When I work with something constantly for a short period of time I tend to get bored real fast. Just the way my brain works!!
This particular layout is from October, when we were at the NC State Fair and these products are absolutely not fall themed, but they totally work with these photos!
Here is a list of some of the products I used for todays layout... [if something is not listed that means its either discontinued or I cant find it online for purchase!]:
- EK Tools tweezers: https://go.magik.ly/ml/a55b/

- American Crafts Precision Pen 05 in black: https://go.magik.ly/ml/i03b/
- Tim Holts tiny attacher: https://go.magik.ly/ml/abxk/
- Elles Studio products (cards, tabs, washi stickers, etc.): -https://www.shopellesstudio.com/
- White cardstock: https://go.magik.ly/ml/9hlp/
