Scraps

I think, through the years of writing this blog , I have shared the true colors of my character

and have made it quite clear that yes,

 I am a paper hoarder.

I say that with my chin held high and, quite frankly,

without any shame.

I like paper.

I love pretty paper.

I own an abundance of paper.

And paper scraps.

With the making of the last half dozen or so of journals, I have bagged the leftover scrapbook paper.

So now I have half a dozen or so of bags of scrap scrapbook paper.

I also have large scraps of watercolor paper from said journals.

Last week I decided it was time to utilize one of these bags o' scraps and I made cards.

Because....

This past month I have been in need of a card, on several occasions, yet have not had any on hand nor the time to sit and make one. 

So last week, when I did have time, I pulled out a bag of scraps {from this journal} and made some.

I kept them super simple, which made making them super fast, with as little cutting as possible.

I had a little stack of scalloped circles, tucked away in a drawer, that I pulled out and used for a simple embellishment.

Now when the need arises for a card I can grab one, stamp or write an appropriate sentiment on the front

{or not and leave as is}

say what I have to say on the inside and send it off.

I know it's not a WIP, but I'm thinking I can group this project within that category and give myself a pat on the back.

I did use up a whole bag of scraps you know.
