Papercraft Haven and More

I hope you have had fun this week - and gotten a ton of inspiration when it comes to using scraps!  Today I am going to go over some of my favorite projects - and a few more things you can do with scraps!!!   Lets get started: This is probably one of my favorite layouts - because of the picture behind the layout, my grandma's dresser!  The die cuts used were from my Sizzix machine and my punches, all from my stash of scraps!  A simple layout you can do in no time, with one photo - or more!       For this layout - I simply used scraps of cardstock cut into thin strips for the border!  This is one way you can do the border with thin strips - or use larger strips if you want!  Change it up - use different colors - and try this border on a card too!!!     With the two layouts above - I used scraps for the paper piecing patterns (the flower and the books)!  Using scraps with your patterns, helps you ...
