Hello Peeps,
Today's snippets (scraps) project is a birthday card set I made for boys. I paper-pieced the backgrounds with 1/2 inch wide strips of leftover card stock, in two different patterns. I adhered them to scrap paper, which I then glued to my card fronts. These were relaxing to do while I watched a movie on my computer.
I don't know about you, but I have a drawer full of stickers that I hardly ever use. I dug through and found quite a number of stickers to use on these birthday cards for boys. I love the hockey net and stick. The star sequins have been in my stash forever. They added just the right touch, I think, to two of my cards.
I would love to hear how you are using your paper scraps. Perhaps I will even host a little challenge sometime. Would you like that?
Thanks for dropping by. I hope you have a wonderful week.
Blessing hugs,
Teresa
