For some reason I have a hard time tossing my scraps of paper... Do you have this issue as well?
Not because of the recycle bit, just that I have fallen in love with the bits and pieces. However- we all know how these pile up. So I challenge myself every once and a while to use up all these little beauties.
And it is the New Year! Time to clean out the old..... Here is the latest card idea.
I have cut 1/2" stripes and glued them down onto a larger scrap piece then cut into squares, cut larger back alternating color. Punch a trim, Stamp greeting, string. I do at least 10 cards at a time. These also make great gifts to your girl friends or teachers. I package them in a set of 5.....
I would love to see your creations of bits and pieces. Feel free to share your ideas.
Random Tip: store your solid papers in one container and patterned in another.
Enjoy-!
