November 2012 CTMH Use Your Stash Blog Hop – All Scraps
WELCOME! I’m so glad you are joining us for our “Use Your Stash Blog Hop”. If you have already started, you should be coming from Joy’s Blog. If this is your first stop, continue through until you make your way back here.  This month we are focusing on our scraps.  This is one of my favorite challenges because I love using things up.
Supplies used: Die Cuts with a View paper, Close to My Heart ribbons, Close to My Heart Just Blooms Flutter Paper Shapes, American Crafts Thickers, and Close to My Heart Opaque Mocha Adhesive Gems.
When I first think of “use up scraps” I think of paper.  But for this hop I decided to do something different and use up some embellishments, specifically scraps of ribbon.  I really like using paper like this that already has a pattern on it.  It makes for a quick and easy layout.  I also like adding embellishments to the base like the pearls I added to the flower centers along the bottom.
I used the sketch below from The Scrapbook Room.  This would also work great to use up scraps of paper.
Now hop on over to Judy’s Blog for more ideas on using up your stash.
Here is a list of participants:
I like how the ribbon matches the binky!
I love love love the ribbon scraps behind the photos. What a great idea and fast too. The flowers at the bottom are adorable and really brings this whole layout to life with the butterflies. Great job!
what a great way to use ribbon scraps!
