Fun at Club with the Witches Hat!
Thursday, October 16, 2014
What do you do with a few scraps? Don't throw them away just yet!
Here is what I started with
SOO, I got out some card bases and some old embellishments I had. Here is what I ended up making:
And what was left over, just the zip strips and one small piece of B&T paper
SO, before you throw out those scraps- try and make a simple card with them. On the flip side- don't save every tiny piece of scraps and never use them. I will probably throw these out or give them to a customer that might have some of this paper left. The zip strip sayings don't really work for anything I made layouts for.
What do you make with your scraps? I'm having a scrap challenge over on my facebook page. Post projects made with your scraps for a chance to win some free product from me! If you haven't already "liked" my page, please go here! Nikki's Crafty Facebook Page
Contest will run now through Oct 31st!!!
