Scrap my scraps challenge.....

The fabulous Erin Grotegut issued a challenge on her blog and invited 6 ladies to make whatever they wanted with some of her 'scraps'. I was quite lucky to be chosen to participate and anxiously awaited the mailman for days.........finally he came and I was hit smack dab in the face with pepto-pink papers with purses AND presents on them........Wow - that certainly is a challenge to incorporate all 6 pieces of paper into one project.......but I did it! It was SO much fun and I made my very first circle card........like first ever............I never make circle cards - but this was so simple!

I was even able to make 2 cards using some of each of the 6 pieces of scrap paper........and then 2 more cards with the scraps from the scraps........talk about being green! LOL

6x6 Accordion Album for my Mom


I created this cute little album for my Mom to display her photos at work. She had them all haphazardly on her hutch but I wanted them to look pretty. This was such a simple project to create - and the best part - I made it mostly from scraps!
