Use Your Scraps

 

I'm excited to be the guest designer for this month's Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up Blog Hop!


I thought of many things for a theme but decided that I have soooooooo many scraps that I would chose that as my theme. I hate to throw away scraps so they build up into boxes full of scraps! Sometimes I donate them to schools and kid's groups who can use them. But mostly they sit around taking up space. 😊

This month's layout features paper and dies from last month's layout.  I also did a shoebox swap last  month that used the paper so I had lots of scraps.  I put them together for a scrappy scrapbook layout!  

This is the card I made for the shoebox swap. I love the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and the Unbounded Love dies!  So I used them again this month.


I started with a base of one of the Designer Papers from the Unbounded Love paper.  Then I layered a bunch of scraps from the Country Woods DSP over it.  
I cut out bunches of the leaves and flowers out of matching scraps of cardstocks and made several little flower arrangements with them.  I placed a cutout of little floral bouquets I cut from one of the Unbounded Love DSP.


The title is cut with the Alphabet A' la Mode dies and embellished with 3 of the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots.

I hope the blog hop this month gets you thinking about digging out some of your scraps to make scrapbook pages and cards!

Next up is Julia Quinn, she always has such great pages, I know you will love her use of scraps too!  She just may have used the same paper I did!
