from the scrap pile

Do you keep a little scrap pile of stuff that didn't work on other cards?  I do!  I made the embossed-woodgrain-brayered background for last week's MIM challenge, but never got around to creating a card with it before we left for Henderson Harbor.



The cupcake image (from PTI's baby button bits) was stamped onto a bookprint and colored in with copics.  And then I never used it.


A blank mat stack shape was also in that pile.

And a strip of leftover brown cardstock, stamped with lawn fawn's "schoolhouse backdrops".

Put it all together, and I have my entry for this week's CAS-ual Fridays.  In about 10 minutes.  'Cuz sometimes, that's all the time you've got.

    This is pretty darn impressive for 10 minutes. Hats off to you. I need to get more organized with my scraps and extra pieces. This is very inspirational. I wonder what I've got hidden just out of sight.
