I'm trying this year to use up leftovers as much as possible. One thing I have found is that leftovers tend to have a habit of accumulating - with the good intention that they will get used someday - into a larger and larger and larger collection. Because of this I am now trying to use leftovers more as they're made rather than squirrelling them away. It does have an added benefit that you're not searching around for the right bit of paper to use, it's a go to the latest pile and start using kind of gig. One of my favorite things to do is to makes cut outs and shapes from leftover papers or draw on them and cut out drawings I particularly like. It's defo a fun thing to have a go at. I started adding to my depleted pile of notecards this weekend with these 'Fancy Dress' cards.
These first two I made with templates I'd done for Crafty Templates:
After that I started just drawing on the paper. This was my fave one....
So yeah, scribbling on patterned paper leftovers, defo something to have a play with.

I love these! So pretty.
I'm trying to use up scraps too but have discovered that - once you've cut into a scrap - it becomes at least *2* scraps ... ithey just keep multiplying and never actually get used up! :D
