3.24 Thrifty Thursday - Paper Scraps

We all have those big piles of left over patterned paper! Well this week, I am hoping I can inspire you to use them up

While scraps are great for cards and tags, they can also be great for layouts. Below are a few ideas for using up those "leftovers"...

Get out a punch and use the shapes to create a background or border for your layout






Create a simple block design to use up smaller pieces of papers... if you want to mix several patterns than consider sticking to a simple color combo to make this easier




Challenge yourself to make a layout or card using just a bunch of paper strips


If you want to get fancy, create your own stripes or starbursts using leftover papers

Great tips Bree! I totally need to get better at using up my scraps.

LOve this tip Bree thanks!

LOVE this tip! I just recently bought those adorable fiskars cloud punches and now keep them handy when I have a tiny piece left I punch a cloud out before throwing the paper out since Im addicted to clouds lately.

Love all these ideas! I am a big saver of scraps & love to use them on my cards.

And here is a brilliant idea for using paper scraps i found on Pinterest just this morning: A Home made memory game!!!!
