I had a rude awakening in June. A friend asked me to cut out 500 1-inch by 2-inch music notes to make a collage for a retiring music teacher. I said I would happily do it using my scraps. The idea was that each note was to be decorated by a student or staff member in the school to represent our school community. I figured I would probably have to use all my light coloured scraps to make it work, but not a problem. When I had finished, I was no where close to using up my white scraps. I had only managed to use enough to be able to put all my white scraps back in the folder that I had intended for them without any needing to spill out onto my desk. It's time to get back into crafting and more importantly, it's time to use up some stash!
I was trying to follow
MFT Sketch 443 but I can't follow a pattern to save my life. This card was a bit of a fluke. I had decided to cut the purple DP and not worry about it if was straight but for the first time ever, it worked on my first try. I then actually had to make something from it. The yellow base was from my scrap pile as I am still trying to winnow down my scrap pile. The die cut made it scream for a shaker card and they are very popular in my family so I pulled out some old sequins. It's funny how eventually all our stash becomes usable.
