Here is my favourite way to use up scraps at the moment - little bits of patterned paper, for backgrounds and scraps of plain paper used as die cuts. If you are a fan of Dawn McVey you may recognise this card layout from her post here - I haven't changed it very much. (Check out the totally cute antennae for the butterfly too - that's also Dawn's genius!) Presently I'm making a little stash of these as a "go to" bundle - the sentiment can be used for just about everything - and they are sure to brighten up anyone's day!
And one in blues....
I have an absolute passion for Green Tea Leaves paper at the moment (YUM!)
Materials: Cardstock, Stamps, Ink, Patterned Paper, Button and Twine - Papertrey Ink, Butterfly Die - SU!, Border Punch - Fiskars; Distress ink and Blending Tool - Ranger; Embossing Folder - ProvoCraftThanks for the challenge Nichole, and for the inspiration, Dawn!
To anyone who pops in - as the cards say "Hope Your Day is FABULOUS"!! :0)

Beautiful way to use your scraps...lovely! I hope to get a few done this afternoon to participate.
This is stunning and JUST the kind of style I am aiming to acheive with my new year pledge to be less busy with my cards. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog and for your kind words of support.
