PCC #70 & FWF

Hi Everyone!

This week's PaperCrafter's Corner challenge is PERFECT for using up a few scraps.


And...here's my take on it....using scraps:


You really should play along. The challenges are fun. Steph even gives you ideas in case you draw a blank. ;) There's even a PRIZE! So, go check it out and I hope to see your creation!
It's been fun making cards using just scraps. Here are a few more:





These are all done using Unity stamps.

I am spending my day redoing scrapbook pages from 1999. I really don't like them at all! Photos cut into shapes, sticker sneeze, poor matting, decorative scissors....You name it, I probably did it. Have you ever redone your early pages? They'll be put into project life pages. Maybe then I can look at them without my eyes bouncing all over the page!  The following few years are alright. I won't be redoing those.
******EDITED TO ADD*****
After reading Rachel's comment and looking through my 1999 pages I decided NOT to redo all of them. Just the worst of them. I started scrapbooking to focus on the pictures. On some of my pages the pictures are lost in the colors and 'embellishments'. If the pictures are the focus then they'll stay....and still show the "evolution of our scrapbooks". Thanks Rachel for the reminder. :)

Have a great week!

  3. So sad to hear you're redoing the scrapbook pages! I think the terrible colors and stickers are a part of the charm and evolution of our scrapbooks :) I love each of your cards, very beautiful sets!

  4. Oh yay!!! So happy to hear! I totally understand needing the photos to be a focus. And hey... Redoing less pages means less work for you :) embrace the neoned decorative scissor edges!! ;)

  5. I'm glad to read that you decided not to redo all of your scrapbook pages... I look at my very first ones and they are nothing like what I do now, but it's a process. Very nice cards!

  6. Your cards are great -- and may just have inspired me to get my scraps out! I haven't in a while. And I do like the term "sticker sneeze". :D

  12. Great cards, the last one is my fave with those fabulous holes punched! I've only ever re-done one page but it was one that I was never happy with and it was a cherished photo. I do look back at some of my pages and cringe but it's also funny to see where I started and where I'm at now.
