Left Overs - Carta Bella "Paris Girl"

Last Saturday I worked at the store.Although we had  several customers shopping that day and several ladies cropping I managed to have a little time to create as well. I needed a "birthday" card and some "thank you" cards. I ended up making 4 cards in all and started a 2 page layout that I finished at home later. You can see the layout here.

The DP is Carta Bella "Paris Girl". These were scraps from a two page layout I made with this line. The sentiment is Hero Arts "Fancy Basics" stamp set. Love these over-sized sentiments. I stamped with Tim Holtz Distressed ink "Picked Raspberry".

The sentiment on this card is from the same stamp set as above.

This last card I made out of the scraps left over from the scraps!
This idea of using scraps is not original to me. I got the idea from Operation Write Home.  I didn't do it exactly like the tutorial but it worked.

I'm hoping to work on a two page layout this weekend using papers from Fancy Pants collection "Childish".

I am entering these cards in "Wow Wednesday" over at Cat's Creations Blog. Leave me a comment, head over to Cat's Blog and leave a comment then visit those who have linked up and leave them comments.

  4. Do you have a stash of your cards somewhere to sell, or do you just make them and give them away as you make them?

    1. You are the first person to ever ask if I sold cards! I do not currently have a stash. I usually make them for family and friends and Operation Write Home.

    2. That's awesome! I make some to sell but they are nowhere near as beautiful as yours!

    3. That's very sweet of you! Thanks so much! I know how critical I am of my own work. I suspect your cards are better than you think :)
