What do you do with your scraps?

For the longest time I used to hand on to every little scrap of paper/cardstock I had left after a project but it soon became a big box of unused stuff and no idea what I had in there so I decided I would hang on to my scraps for a month and reserve one day a month to use them up and making cards... I wish I could say kept this up over the year but I would be lying! So, tonight I decided it was time to break open that box and start using up those scraps..... Here is my first card for the night..

I hope this inspires you to use up those scraps and build a nice supply of card!

    I hold onto all of my scraps and use only scraps on any cards that I make. I just need to make more layouts and/or cards because I have been looking at the same scraps way too long and I need to have some new scraps to play with.

    I really like your card, Tee. I love all the different papers that you used. Looks like a fun card to make.
