As a scrapper, I like to find paper and trinkets that I can use on other crafts. My eyes dart around hawk-like when my family is opening Christmas gifts ~ careful not to miss a fabulous, re-usable bow or tag. I also scour the catalogs and advertisements that I get in the mail. Maybe I can cut this or punch that…
I do love shopping for the newest scrapbook goodies, but nothing quite beats the feeling of being able to incorporate a “find” into one of my crafts. It’s taking “scrap”-booking back to the roots of the art itself!
I was so excited with this card! The background paper and the main collage image were upcycled from the new My Mind’s Eye catalog! I had just received it in the mail last week and noticed how nice the cover pages of the magazine were! Why throw it away?! I also saw that the collage of die-cuts advertised made a perfect embellishment! Together, with a little ribbon, glitter, buttons and other embellishments, I made a very cute and inexpensive card!
