Day 9 - Just the Scraps

It looks like Week 2 has gotten off to a great start with yesterday's sketch! By the way, I missed another 365er who participated in all of last week's challenges at the time of yesterday's post - congrats to Heidi Stock!

And now for today's challenge:

If you are like me (and so many others I know), you save any reasonably sized scrap of paper because you know that you will use it again - especially if it is from a favorite manufacturer. I don't know about you, but I have a huge pile of scraps at this point!! So that brings me to the specifics of the challenge~


Use only scraps of paper - don't cut down anything new! Try to use 3 scraps on your card. You can trim up paper that has previously been cut down.


DT member Gloria really embraced this challenge - check out what she did with her scraps:

She's definitely proven that it can be done - great work, Gloria!

So now you can dig into your scraps and make the most of them~

Love all the DT crafting. This is a challenge I needed - loads of offcuts here - and it's another man's card done! x

Hazel said...

Did another one!

I want to point out that the three cards I made are small, about 3x3 or smaller. It's hard to tell from the photos. I did not use any large pieces to make regular-size cards. Just the scraps, ma'am.

Great challenge - I have enough scraps and offcuts to make hundreds of cards! Ah well, I made one :)

Love Bex x
