Use up those Scraps!....

I'd love to know if you are a crafter who saves every scrap of paper or if you are ruthless with them and throw a lot away. Me? Well I am in the save every little slither possible camp. Sometimes I have to laugh at the tiny scraps of paper I have saved.  I use a lot of mine to make tags with, I love sending little tags as note cards. 




Today's card is made entirely of scraps,  with the exception of the kraft background.  The tag is a favourite design of mine, I use little slices of  old scraps sticking them together to make a piece large enough for the background.  The flowers are made from small felt scraps too. Even the seam binding is a small offcut I had lying on my desk.

I have combined a few challenges when making this card, I used the Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge for the layout,  Stamptacular Sunday Challenge for the friendship theme and Stampalot challenge which is Whatever you Fancy this month.

My Daughter asked me to make a few of my more regular style of 'Shabby' cards she is not a fan of the CAS look.

Stamps used are from Waltzingmouse - Very Vintage Christmas and Roses in Bloom. The leaves were stamped from a small acrylic stamp but I cannot remember who made it.
Seam binding, buttons and button twine - Pretty Little Ribbon Shop.

Thanks so much for visiting,
