How many of you have a BOX or BIN full of all those little paper scraps that you just can not throw out? I have a Banker Box full of scraps. One day Pumpkin (my 5 year old daughter) and I sat and sorted all the scraps by color or pattern. It took hours.. so I do feel somewhat obligated now to USE them. Which is a good thing, otherwise I will need to get a second box ready.
There is a certain sense of accomplishment when I am able to complete a project with mostly scraps. Sort of like putting a puzzle together. I mean, I know I can just make a bunch of mini cards to use up the scraps, but I don't get the same feeling of accomplishment doing that.
A fun little card I made for my hubby!
He is working so hard (travels home every weekend 1,700 miles one way)
I wanted to let him know how much I think he ROCKS!!
So why a Leprechaun you ask?... No good answer, except that I have been wanting to cut this little guy from the Simply Charmed Cricut Cartridge for months. And Pumpkin wanted a rainbow, so what goes better with a Leprechaun?
I used nearly all scraps... One thing I love about digital cutters is the ability to utilize all those scraps for the tiny layered pieces. Yes, some of my scraps are as small as 2 x 2. Crazy right. Like I said... Paper Addict!
I am going to submit this in the following Challenges:
Pumpkin Spice - Green and 4 of Something
