I store mine by colour in plastic folders and every so often I will go through and cull, I give to my kids (as there getting older they dont want them as much) the little kids next door or the local kindy.
Sometimes I even create things with them, I went looking for some circle embellishments to use on a layout and realised my supplie was low so I got all my scraps out and started cutting, scrunching, inking and gluing together till I ended up with a big pile of circle embellies to use.
After I had made all the circles I still had a pile of papers left on my desk so I decided that rather than put all the bits back into the folders I would make up some cards.

Girly styles
I try and make all my cards (I really dont like paying $5 for a store brought one) and like to have a good supply at the ready so that Im never caught short.
Cheers Lis :)
These are great. I don't even scrapbook but I could see myself looking for scraps of paper just to give this a try. Marissa
ReplyDeleteFab way to use up all your scraps Lis... I have heaps just waiting to be turned into something useful ;) Loved the little peek into your scrap space too!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love your cards! Those flowers are fantastic! I need to make some of those....good idea!
ReplyDeleteI love those flowers! . :) They were my favorite to do when I was into greeting card making. :) I distressed the edges with scisors and inked them with tim holtz's ink pad. It makes me want to make some right now. :))
ReplyDeleteYour cards look amazing Lisa, its a great way to use up scraps.
