Trying the Unexpected Through Decluttering -- Take 2

  

As we meander a Path of Positivity, we are challenging you to Embrace The Unexpected. Of course, you can share anything positive you like, the theme is always optional.

Remember, you may share any sort of artistic medium over at PoP:  writing, cards, journals, scrapbooking, painting, sewing, baking, needle crafts, etc as long as it is positive.  The theme is always optional.  

This month we are creating something unexpected through decluttering. 

Ok, as I was looking for something in my husband's office, I found this light bulb he had not thrown away.  I asked if it was still good; he answered no.  So, I nabbed it!

This month we are creating something unexpected through decluttering!  

As I was looking through and making an attempt at some cleaning, I stumbled upon my colored pencils and decided to try some pencil work and stamping in my journal.  I usually turn to my Copic markers and Cricut dies for my creating, so this is a bit different for me.  I don't have a large selection of pencils, but I do have a few; so, I decided to give it a go on this older Gorguss Girl Stamp.  This cute stamp was hidden away with some other stamps!

I also went with a different paper than I would normally choose.  I grabbed some Mead Academie Sketch Paper I found while organizing some paper.  

My last unexpected item I found in my craft room is my Spirograph toy!  Yes, I loved this as a kid and have one for my grandgirl, so I decided to get that out for my background!

Now, as for the little embellishments, they were all in stacked ice cream lids where I store "extras" for the future.  Of course, they usually sit there unused, but not this time!  Same goes for the Washi Tape!

I also found lots of adhesive I never use, so I got it out for my journal page.
