Welcome to April.
Use the below list to inspire your project. You can use one, some or all the prompts on the list. Substitutions are welcome and encouraged.
• Paper pads (any size)
• use at least 2 different alphas
• eyelets
• embossing (heat or dry)
• something you’ve been saving for the perfect project
• stickers
All types of projects count (paper, digi, hybrid, PL, art journaling, anything else you create) and if you share your projects online please link them here so we can admire and leave some love. You can find instructions to post in the Refupeas gallery in this thread but shout out if you need help.
I hope you find time to play along and I can't wait to see what everyone creates. |

Great list. Stickers I use all the time. Eyelets, I have a million. Embossing, I have the technology: just need to use it more often.
When I recover from Calvinball, I am all over this!

Eyelets??? You really are pushing us to use our stash! You can blame Katie for that. On her recent eyelets thread a lot of people said they really should use them more often  |

Haha, guilty as charged. I tossed all my eyelets a couple years ago. Why did I do that?! And yet, I don't think I could bring myself to buy any now.

If you want to participate, I can mail you some.  Although I was one of those people on the thread who said I should use them. So it really is a great idea to include them. |

I think we should all take out the MM tool boxes and use the hammer and setters and cover our pages with random eyelets, and then see if we can tell the difference in size of our eyelets stash...
Extra points if we do that at a crop!!!
Guess we could send our surplus to Katie afterwards... |

Here's mine. I've very proud of myself for handstitching on it as well, since I tend to be lazy. also I used a grommet. Remember those. I had to have them, I don't think I ever even used them until now.  GMnMiniw by Lisa Davolt, on Flickr |

And of course the subject is adorable

I can volunteer eyelets to anyone who got rid of theirs, too! |

Thanks but no thanks, @elaynef ! It isn't the stash I need: have eyelets--and yes, some grommets, too--just need the mojo to dig them out and do this! Great page, LisaDV ! Love the retro look. |

Another one that purged their eyelets but I still have brads I never liked eyelets.
I have been in s major slump and hope to get something done this month. My problem is my computer crashed last year snd while I recovered everything I now have a different version of PS and nothing is the same it actually seems everything is backward and it just annoys me trying to figure it out. It also seems everything takes an extra step or two and I am avoiding editing.

ARRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHH. First world problem for sure, but it's taking so long to get anything done. |

Great job on your layout, Lisa. I am sooo impressed with that grommet. I never did buy those, but I have a few eyelets left. Left you some love in the gallery.

 Enjoyed this challenge...this is very different than what I usually do and way more colorful. I did everything except embossing which I have never learned how to do. |

What a fun couple of pages about what looks like a fun experience! Love the photo with them all with their pinnoccio glasses on. And great use of color, including that bright happy title!
I have never seen that game, but it looks like something my grandkids would love. Will have to google to see where I can get it.

@elaynef, that is such a sweet and heartwarming double page layout. I love the variety in your letters and the triangle shapes you used. Nice work. Thanks for sharing.

I remember an old layout that had eyelets in a large circle around the whole page. It was from years ago, but it turned out really nice.

@elaynef I love the fun title letters and the great mix of photos.
I've left some love in the gallery for everyone's pages that link back there.
I just have to say I thought eyelets would be the one item on this list everyone would skip past so I'm very happy to see so many projects include at least one somewhere.

I've done that a couple of times - it's a great way to use up a whole lot of them and I actually really like the look. I just hate the process of lining them up, spacing them out and setting them all. |

I was thinking a line of eyelets as a border in a shape (circle, flower, star) but the inside cut out so that the pattern paper could be seen. I still might since it's only mid-month. |

Here is mine. Used a DCWV paper pad, a variety of alphas (some cut from pp--and you can't get much more "different" than creating an A from a V--, a couple of stickers and a grommet), a couple of eyelets (It will take a L-O-N-G time to get rid of my stash of eyelets 2 at a time), a couple of stickers, and a piece of some gorgeous FabScraps pp I have been hoarding but which fit the color scheme so perfectly.  little sports fanz by Gramma Dee, on Flickr |
