Playing with scraps . . .

 Hello All ... how's your Tuesday going?

Today I spent a little time cleaning up the cave and creating with scraps vs tossing them in the trash.  I had a few scraps from the same paper pack so I cut them in various sizes and created backgrounds.  THEN I turned those backgrounds into cards ... hope you like them.

The papers used for these cards is an old (but never opened) pack from Simple Stories called 'winter wonder'.  They are double sided so that made it even better with the technique I used for my backgrounds.

  I also used a pack of the Paper Studio 'stick-a-bilities' for my accents.  That pack has been hanging on my accessory wall for months (probably years lol).

As always . . .

  2. Oh, I love how you used your papers, Darlene! I'm noting those two strips inside Card #2, and the covered frame on the front. I really love the paper strips layout (herringbone?). Sometimes I have the most fun when I'm just cleaning up my room. Seems cards always happen. These are great!
