Scrap Wrangling/Design Elements


As I was cleaning up my work table this morning and shuffling all the scraps I had a light bulb moment.  Instead of the scraps just being sorted and tucked away in the hopes of being useful, I had an idea.  I got out my Big Kick and some of my texture folders and got to texturizing.  No longer "just" scraps these are now design elements.  Those kind that just add that little specialness to the cards.  I wasn't particular as to the size of the scrap, all sizes including strips were run through the machine.  I even dug through my sorted scraps for ones to give a new lease on life.  Now when I look into the basket I no longer see scraps but Design Elements.  :)

  3. I have tons of scraps and occasionally sort them by color, but end up tossing as I can't think of anything to do with them. YES, this is a super idea! Love it.

  4. Great idea, I think I will do this with some of my scraps. I always love a little embossing on a card. Thanks for sharing!
