Challenge!



I have a tendency to hoard my stuff! Even the scraps left over from a layout! I am always afraid to waste the paper I love so much and think that I will use it on something. So I don't know about you, but my scrap pile was taking over my space! LOL I had to do something with all that beautiful paper. I separated all the pieces by colour first, then picked out cardstock pieces that would be large enough for a card base, then matched up a couple of different patterned paper scraps with each base. This is the stack I ended up with and my scrap container is still fairly full! Now, how many cards do you think I made with this pile? I admit, some of them are not completely finished, but I have the base cards done so that when the occasion arises that requires a card, all I have to do is stamp a sentiment! So my challenge to you is this: get those scraps out, match them up with cardstock bases, pile them up and then the next time you have a few minutes, make a few of them up! You will be surprised how quickly you will be able to complete a few cards!




Anyone care to guess how many cards I made? I'll post the answer and the finished cards in a few days!
