Save Your Scraps!

I am a frugal person but I have to admit that I don't always save everything. I keep bigger scraps of paper but usually toss anything smaller than 3". I also generally toss the "leftover" part of the paper after I die cut something. However, the stripe paper on this card is actually the leftover piece after cutting out the Labels framelit for the altered notebook in the last post. It just happened to be sitting on my table...


I layered a piece of Poppy Parade behind it then mounted both on a card base of Pool Party. The stamp is from a Sale-A-Bration™ set called Fresh Vintage that can be earned for free by spending $50. Markers were used to color the stamp. I sponged a little Pool Party ink on the bird just to give him a little depth. The sentiment was stamped on a piece of chipboard that I covered with some Whisper White paper.
