Use up your DSP scraps!

Hi

The countdown is beginning for the new Stampin' Up! 2014-2015 Annual catalogue, so I have been thinking up new ways of using some of my stash. 

I gather I am not the only person to have a stack of patterned paper from pre-SU days....I just can't seem to part with it as I am a craft-supplies-hoarder.....don't judge me! :)

Anyway...here's a couple of cards that are guaranteed to inspire you to use up some itty bitty scrap pieces. 

This one was inspired by the Mojo Monday sketch (which I am too late to link to sadly)...

It uses little scraps of old patterned paper pieces + some scraps of Melon Mambo, a number '10' that I had previously die cut and discarded, and a Petite Petals flower that I found on my desk. :)

My next card was inspired by the sketch at Clean & Simple Stamping this week. Rather than stamp the horizontal lines, I thought I would use a strip of 12' patterned paper, cut into 3 pieces (4 inches per piece). I thought it was such an effective way to use up old scrappy paper. :)

So, my challenge to you is this....to make room for all the cool stuff from the next catalogue....get in there and USE UP your patterned paper. You will thank me for it. :)

Make sure you subscribe to my newsletter (see my side bar) to get the skinny on the upcoming catalogue.
