I am always collecting bits of paper which are just too good to throw out. Only a crafter would understand. I store it all a box for that "special project" that needs something. The box is in the top left corner and you can see it is full. I even separate the scraps into like minded scraps, hence the zip lock back with extra special scraps. At this stage I am just playing around with the bits and will eventually look for a photo to fit the LO. Normally I would start with a photo and then work on the LO to fit the photo. Today is different and I have no explanation apart from woyww!
Hi Sandra, That's looking VERY nice! Lovely colours. I'm sure you'll find a photo or something to go there.
ReplyDeleteThe kiddie images are stamps. Pretty cool, eh? And the "card" is actually a canvas, about 8x12, or a bit bigger, I think. Sort of like a cross between a card and a scrapbook page, I guess, but done on a canvas.
ReplyDeleteHi there Sandra - ah love the bits and pieces we cannot bear to throw away as you never just know - and am sure this will turn out nicely and the best bit is you have used those bits to boot! Happy WOYWW! Shaz in oz.x #1

ReplyDeleteGreat looking start to your layout. I like all the bits you have pulled out for it! I am like you keeping the scraps but not nearly as organized. I need to get a file system going. Thanks for visiting my desk today and Thanks for sharing Have a great week. Vickie #2

Yes I think we all keep a box of bits just in case dont we! Layout is looking lovely so far. Sunshine Girl No. 37
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely so far, even without a photo. We don't tend to keep scraps, but looking at your page, we may have to start.

Love the scarps. I think we crafters must all have been squirrels or magpies in a former life, :). What would we do without our stash of bits?hugs from another member of Hoarders Anonymous, Shaz #107

A lady the playing around is paying off..this looks fab...love the idea of separating scraps for separation purposes! More though, am impressed that you're working 'backwards' as it were for a LO...gotta be quite a bit easier, surely?
ReplyDeleteWhen I say a lady...I mean ALREADY....
Deletethis is coming together vice nicely...............love using up those scrap bits....

Sometimes it is good to change it up and start from a different place. Things are looking good. I think we all have those boxes of extra special, too good to throw out bits. Like you said, only a crafter would understand.
ReplyDeleteIs a LO with bits a bit like the orange juice that only I like?? I have the same problem throwing away fabric scraps..I chuck them all in a big bag and fish some out occasionally to make flower corsages etc etc!
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ #36 xx
Oh yes, we definitely understand--and those are all lovely bits!

Sandra what a beautiful LO I too try and keep too many odds and ends just incase which is why my craft room is full to the brim....must have a clear out but it is so hard!
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting Erika. 73
The layout is looking beautiful already. I have to steel myself to throw away even the smallest scrap so I can easily identify with you here. Hope you had a good WOYWW. Elizabeth x #112
ReplyDeleteThanks for calling by at mine...glad I made you chuckle. It's been one of those weeks....not only did I get asked to dumf a cock[erel] but this morning a gorgeous young man came through my door with his dickie[bow] in his hand!!! :-) :-)

Oh, i love collecting bits of paper or small magazine clippings for such a purpose. I like flicking through my collection from timr to time, wondering when i'm going to get around to using certain pieces. They never get used the way i think they will! Fab colours and composition - keep up the good work! x
ReplyDeleteYes I have bags and boxes full of snipping - both fabric and paper. I really ought to use a few!! X Jo
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are on to a winner with the scraps box the LO looks lovely, who needs a photo anyway, we all understand.

It always pays to save scraps and papers. I have a huge pile of interesting things to paint and you never know when you are going to need it. Your LO is looking really good already. Love the cut out edge.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
