Getting Scrappy

The Less is More challenge this week was

DON'T SCRAP IT

This week's recipe is to use some of those left over bits and pieces we all tend to keep

I have my cardstock scraps organized in plastic bags according to color.  Then I have another smaller box of decorative paper.  I also have what I call my UFO (UnFinished Objects) box where stamped images that don't get used end up.  This Robin from Nature Walk was in there.  All I had to do was trim off the edges and  mount it.  I tore the bottom edge.  I also tore the bottom edge of the DP and used a distressing tool on the other edges.  I left the brown layer clean cut.  The design piece was mounted on a Very Vanilla card and the sentiment is from the Three Little Words set.

This card was inspired by a card in Paper Crafts this month.  You can see it on page 45.

I cut some 1" x 1" squares from some scraps, adhered them to a 5" x 3 3/4" scrap of textured white cardstock.  I scored on either side of the pieced strip and stamped the sentiment.  I punched 2 holes with my 1/8" circle punch to weave a piece of ribbon through and mounted it on a Sahara Sand card.

Here's another almost exactly like the one in the magazine.

We had the nicest weekend.  I got to stamp with some friends on Saturday afternoon.  Then our oldest daughter and sweet Emmy spent the night with us.  We had a lot of fun.  Not much sleep, but lots of fun.  I hope they can do that again soon.

I'm so glad you took the time to stop by.  I really appreciated it.

Enjoy!
