Today I’m going back to a template to get my creativity going for the week. I used the Valley In Bloom Suite Collection for my card. Unfortunately, the dies are not available at the moment so the suite cannot be purchased. They are predicted to be back in stock next week. The stamps, paper, and embellishments I used are all available to purchase separately. I love the color combination of this paper!

SCRAP CARD SATURDAY
It’s Saturday so you know what that means! Time to pull all of your scrap paper out and turn them into cards! This week’s scrap card is so easy. I had a bigger scrap of designer series paper that I was trying to figure out how to cut down a little more to use on a card and then it occurred to me–just use it the size it is! Scraps don’t have to be tiny pieces of paper. It can be any size of paper that’s left over after you use it.

I’ve discovered I really like using one inch squares cut from my scraps of paper to make cards. I used the Cute as a Bug Suite Collection to make some cards today. Links to cards are below and also a video.
