Throw Out Your Scraps!!

I don't know what it is about the end of the school year/beginning of summer, but it sets off my organization mojo like nothing else!! I've been working on the craft room which has turned into a bit a cave lately. I'm reducing, purging, cleaning out and guess what happened in the middle of it all?????? I decided to make some cards from the scraps I was about to toss.

I made a total of 5 cards thanks to some inspiration from SCS and from my blogger pal Siobhan's Use It Tuesday challenge.

And now....(in no particular order)

CASE of this card:


It works for the Use It Tuesday challenge (use the colors red, white, and blue) as does this next card. And yep, I broke out the sewing machine!!


Did you notice that I had a lot of scraps from this dp? I love the little strip of brown at the base of the card!

Up next, a CASE of this card on SCS:


And my final two cards from my scraps:





The best part was pitching the rest of the scraps......


or looking at this cutie pie enjoying the extra space!


Since I used scraps in these cards, I'm not listing the ingredients. Please feel free to email me if you're curious about something I used :)
