Kit Kraft Wednesday - Farmhouse Holiday

I'm still using product from my Button Farm holiday kit from two years ago.  I finished the kit a few weeks ago, and one thing I love about the Button Farm kits is that my leftover paper can be used for cards or additional layouts.  After my book was put together, I cut down my pieces into "card friendly sizes" and found some ways to use my leftover stickers. 

There were two challenges that inspired me to use some of those supplies today.  The first was The Paper Players challenge this week, which was a Tic-Tac-Toe challenge. 


I went with that middle across row . . . 


I used pattern paper for the background and the banner, the snowflake stickers layered perfectly on this card (not to mention that snowflake brad), and the embossed gold greeting is from one of my favorite new stamp sets from Essentials by Ellen (from Ellen Hutson).  Love that greeting!


My second card was inspired by the cue card at CASology . . .



So I was using old paper from an old kit, but even more inspiring is that the Farmhouse paper from the kit has that old feeling, and the ornament stickers remind me of ornaments from when I was a kid. 


I love the way those popped ornament stickers blend in so well with that top background piece. 



Great fun, and my scraps are nearly gone!  Hope you find some time to use items from your stash.
