Oh No, I Don't Have Enough Paper


There is nothing worse than getting in the middle of a project and you do not have enough paper to do what you want!  I have been in the middle of something and I need just a little bit more cardstock of a certain color, and there is none left!  That is NOT going to happen, not on the PERFECT project!!!  

I don't want to use a whole piece of cardstock if I am only needing a small piece!  This is why I save all of my scraps of paper, because there will be that one time, I have the perfect scrap for the project!  Besides, you can't see the back side of a sheet of paper!!!!!!  
  



With this particular set of cards, I needed a bit more black for a basket!  I will share the finished project on another post, but they really are turning out cute!  Anyway, I knew I needed a bit more of the black, but didn't have anymore of this color!  So, I cut the inside of the back sheet of cardstock and got enough paper to do the baskets and heart punch pieces I needed!  

I will also have another cost saving tip when I share the card with you!  Hopefully that will be in tomorrow's post!  I hope this will help you save the perfect project, and a bit of money while you are at it!!!
Until next time, 
Lynda, Memories in Tyme
