Scrappy Birthday

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

Ever wonder what to do with all the thin offcuts you get when creating the mats for your cards? Do you even keep them? It might not surprise you to learn that I keep all mine. Originally it was with the hope of using them for sentiments, but now I've found an even better use for them; as the focal point and design on your cards...


Card: Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz and lots of snippets of Lost Lagoon
Ink: Pear Pizzazz and Lost Lagoon
Stamp set: Tag Talk
Tools: Bracket Label Punch
Adhesive: Fast Fuse and Stampin' Dimensionals

  15. I always save my strips of cardstock and paper to make backgrounds, but this design is genius! I spotted this over at the snippets playground and thought what a brilliant idea! Your card is just beautiful and so original! Love it, and might have to CASE it :)
