Quick card from scraps

1.24.2009

You know how I can't stand to give up paper! This card is from my scrap bin. It's an addiction. Whatever doesn't get sucked up into a scrapbook ends up in the drawers, seperated by color. Paper is an obsession.

Items used: Bazzil cardstock, SU! Always stamp, black ink, Ribbon from the $1 bin @ Micheals, prima flower and brads. For once there is a project I didn't rub ink on the edges of. lol!

If you wouldn't have told me I never would have thought that this was made with scraps! Great job.

The card is very pretty. Thanks for entering the giveaway, there's no such thing as a small kind deed. People pay good money to get the things you give...you go girl!

This is fabulous! I'm with you I have paper, paper scraps and more paper. I've been thinking of posting a weekly challenge on my blog called Sunday's scraps -basically the idea is to make a project with scraps each week. If I do I hope you'll play along.

Your card is very very pretty - love it at first sight! I am honestly the same way with pattern paper and I feel so justified for keeping all the scraps when I can use a piece or two to make a card...but I love paper! TFS

THis is a beautiful card- it'd be a treasure to find in the mail, or as a package of cards for my own use :) Lovely!

I'm a paper hoarder too. Only nothing ever gets made with my scraps.

I like the card.

What a fabulous card! I like the layout and thats awesome that it came from paper scraps. I always hate to through them away too - I'm always afraid I'll be looking for that scrap and it will be gone!

Love your card! I end up giving all my scraps to my son's kindergarten teacher. Hmm... maybe I should horde them too?

Love it! I love paper, too and lately, I've been doing the card making thing, too. Unfortunately, my attempts are feable compared to yours--great job! :D
