Thank You Kindly

It's no secret that, at the end of a scrapbooking, I like to use up all of the little leftovers lying around on my desk in a quick card making session. It's much more fun to use your scraps than to tidy them all away, but it can be difficult to make projects that look pretty and professional. 



I find that the combination of scraps, sewing and stamping always seems to work for me. Somehow the addition of some machine stitching and some quality sentiments make the use of scraps look purposeful. And I'm always left with cards that any of my friends would be happy to find in their mail.


I love the beautiful fonts from the Layers Of Color Sent With Love Set (which just happens to be on sale!) The gorgeous scrolling makes a simply stamped sentiment look fantastic, so I've used two of the main sentiments to finish off these simple, little cards.

You're Sweet!

Bigger isn't always better, right? I've a teeny little tag to share with you today that I made using the scraps leftover from making a layout. And, you may have guessed this already, but I like it more than the layout! It's just so cute and dinky!

You're Sweet

Just layer a few pieces of co-ordinating papers onto a cardstock base then delve into your stamp stash. I pulled out the closest set - Admit One from Lawn Fawn's Summer Release, found a little space for my sentiment and then added a 'popped up' element stamp. Punch a hole and thread through some leftover ribbon and you have an extra little 'sumthin, sumthin' to add to a card or present when you need to. And it takes less time than sorting your scraps or tidying your desk!

You're Sweet
