From Scraps to Cards

Do you keep your scraps of patten papers? Do they sit in a container waiting for the right idea?  Well, let me share with you what I did.  I got tired of seeing my small container overflowing with scraps, so I set my sites on turning those scraps into cards.  I dumbed the scrap pile on my desk, sorted, cut card bases and set out to create cards.  Nothing fancy but well worth the effort.

Now I didn't use all the scraps however I did make a great dent in the pile.  I ended with twenty simple cards that will definitely bring a smile to someone's face!!!
