So many scraps, so little time! As I was sorting my leftover bits of CS and DSP, I decided to go ahead and file everything (2 crates' worth) by name and "New Color"/"Retired Color" by family palette. Each manilla folder has the color name and a small floral stamp of the corresponding color. How empowering is that?? :-D
After looking at all of my scraps, I decided to give myself a challenge: Use nothing but scraps (including the cards themselves) for 10 cards a week. Like you, I have accumulated 100's of extra punches, stamps, embellishments etc. from previous projects. Here was a chance to use some of them! My other self-imposed rules were:
- No new ribbons (just those from my ribbon jar) or new die cuts.
- Limited stamp sets.
- Unlimited use of punches.
- Any colors could be used.
I decided last week that I would spend some quality time with my supplies anyway so.....in a few hours last evening and and hour and a half this afternoon, I created 2 small 6-page mini-scrapbooks and 8 cards. (By the way, the first follower that comments will win a cool stampin' prize. Be sure that I have your email address.) You'll see the old along with the new but it is all good and all fun!! (I don't think I even made a miniscule dent in my scrap crates!!)
