These cards are made from scraps from the Pillow Box I made last week. I have been trying to use up the scraps from my projects to make cards. I discovered that was easier said than done...
I have started to make extra flowers on every project, thank goodness as I did have flowers to fall back on!
I used my Martha Stewart stamp that I just got at Michaels with my 40% off coupon!
I used the ribbon I purchased from Snowman Lover (it just came yesterday) that matched perfectly!
I even added a few flowers to the inside of the card!
And another flower on the envelope!
Close up of the paper and the embossing on the cards.
I spent 20 minutes packaging up and another 20 minutes putting together. I am low on cards so this is a great way to build my supply back up.
I hope you enjoyed my project today.
I love hearing from you, your words continue to encourage me.

Sheila... you have the best pointers and I don't know anyone who comes close to using every second of their day in a constructive way the way you do!!! YOU ARE AMAZING!! Maybe someday I can get organized... but I have to admit... I find LOs way easier to create than cards... maybe once I move I will give it a go!!

Oh what a great idea.. I try to use my scraps as often as possible, cause I noticed they tend to pile up...LOL

I need to use up some of my scraps...
Sheila, all those and it's just beautiful! You are too much! I just love it!
Yes! I am big on scraps too. Love yoru cards, great job!
You are right it is not always easy to use your scraps. I make it a point to use my them. You made a beautiful card. I
So pretty, Sassy. The colors are gorgeous and the ribbon is yummy. I love how you offset those flowers and I'm going to have to go look at that punch now. Thanks for sharing and challenging us to use our scraps.
Now those are some fantastic cards! ;)
oooohhhh, gorgeous colour combo.....you are GREAT at using your scraps....you would have a terrific time if you could get your hands on mine! lol!!
great project - I need to make cards too...I never have any ready!! yikes!
I have made a point in looking into my scraps irises first. You will get amazed the bits I have used.
Sheila, I must say you and Paperscissors are definitely on your toes! Congratulations, as a runner up, I'll be making a flag book for you too!!! I'll need to know where to send it to. You can leave it in the comment under the post announcing the winner (I won't publish it, or you can send it to me in an email from the mb).
Congratulations again! However, I must say I'm totally shocked. I hadn't even finished answering a question I'd just gotten on how to play! LOL!
Have a great day! I'll be seeing you!
Sheila, I must say I just can't believe what you did with those scraps!!!
However, I'm stopping back in to say congrats again, and if you didn't notice in my post, I need to make your book because I really didn't expect for the contest to be over and done just like "that"! I'll get your book out to you within the next couple of days! Right now I'm going to get away from this computer for a while (a few hours at least) because I'm a bit tired although I hate to admit it.
I'll let you know as soon as I drop it in the mail -- okay? Now, thanks for playing with me!
You go girl! Love your card and your ideas. You are such an inspiration
lovely cards. And you are right, it's not always easy using up scraps! I've been trying to use up printed paper scraps because they don't get used if they go in the scrap box. At least with cardstock, I know I will use the colors up... but not the printed papers.
I think you did a fantastic job on using your scraps...I too have been trying to do that..not always easy..but you worked it girl..TFS
looks great, awesome way to use those scraps! thanks for doing the cuttlebug challenge!
OH so very pretty and your ribbon matched great! Your nails look great too!
