Hello and welcome back to the blog. I did a destashing today. I have a full box that is going to goodwill.  I was amazed at how much stuff I had that I never even opened. So today's post is all about the things we have but never use.  Yesterday I shared my take on Bleeding hearts, and today I will be using another die from that set.  But first I wanted to share with you, how wonderful it was to pull all of my Bible study books, writing tools, and accessories together. I have older books I've read, but aren't letting go of the resource (cough HORDER) and some stuff that I had other plans for, but will be using this year. I wish that I had a small planner meant for bible study. Someone needs to make one just for that! In a box somewhere lost in the house, I have a pencil bag full of writing tools for my study materials. Ah well... someday I'll find that box!  On to the card I made.

My Raskog never looked better!

I dug deep for the products on my card today.  The heart & roses die is from Simon Says Stamp, it was released back in 2015 lol... told you that I was digging deep! You have to love dies, but they can get underutilized after a short time.  Also, I have a circle under the heart, which is the Half-toned Circle Nesting dies from Altenew. The Hello and little red heart are also from Altenew, they are part of the Envelope Liner die set. The scallop circle is from a company that went out of business, but I love it anyway. The sentiment is from Altenew's Sentiment Strips, which has so many amazing sayings. The cardstock is also from my stash, the Plaid and Copper Glitter papers are from Joann's and the Jet Black, White, and Real Gray are from Altenew. I also used my Obsidian Black ink pad from Altenew.  

Here's a close up of the layers.

Thats it for today!  I hope you have an incredible today! God bless you.
