Layout Scraps to Inspire You





Hi everyone, Wendy here....I know Ms. Melissa touched on this in a previous post *you can see her amazing cards from scraps and sketches HERE* but I thought I would post a little bit on this subject as well because it really, really works and works well. Whenever I finish up a layout (and believe me I'm a very messy scrapper!) I will leave my layout scraps out and then make a card. I always have plenty of product and I usually don't have to add anything else to my card. I just completed an assignment layout and left my scraps out...then I had a thank you card to make, so I just used my scraps and embellishments I already had taken out. I created this little thank you card, and I even used some scraps from an image I cut out using my Cricut Expressions diecut machine. So use up those scraps and make something fun before you put everything away...the stuff matches and it's already out, why put things away twice right?! Have fun!!
