Made with Scraps

If you are into paper crafting, chances are you have a drawer full of scraps in your craft room, yes? I do and it's overflowing so I challenged myself to create a card using just those scraps.

My free-style play session resulted in this collage style design.

This is my scraps bin full of this and that that never made it on a project. I also have a card stock/pattern paper bin that has left over pieces that I used for the card base.

I love this vintage girl and her doll. I can't even remember who manufactured it now...maybe October Afternoon?

That canvas button was tucked away in the scraps...should have been in my button drawer. :)

What do you think? Fun? Funky? Both? Not your cup of tea? Well...here's to using up those scraps!

Scrap Ribbon Card

I found this funky and fun card idea while blog hopping and I HAVE to share it with you! These days I'm all about reducing, reusing and recycling so I was so thrilled to have stumbled upon this idea on Jennifer McGuire Ink, web address listed on the right. She used ribbon scraps to make a fantastic card! I thought I'd try one too! Mine didn't turn out quite as adorable as hers, but it's cute and you get the picture, right? Even the smallest pieces of ribbon will work and it doesn't have to coordinate! How cool is that? Happy scrappin'!
