Scrap Happy




So what does this post title mean?  It means I literally used the last bits of scraps from this DSP collection.  It's from SU, but I don't recall the name.  Anyway, I had these last bits in a box and as I was looking for something else these fell out.  I was determined to use them or toss them!  I worked hard at getting a pleasing arrangement of sizes and shapes, doing a little trimming and snipping here and there.  But I like the final result...although the bit of Pumpkin Pie in the striped piece is kind of weird!

The apple/heart image is from Cornish Heritage Farms (CHF) called "Making The Grade".  This was colored with SU markers: Chocolate Chip, Real Red, and Old Olive.  The sentiment is also from CHF: "Mocha Chica" and was stamped in black ink.

The card has a white base, a layer of Old Olive, followed by a layer of Bashful Blue.  On the left end is a scalloped layer in Real Red.
Off to stamp some more!

Paige, I've got some of this exact same paper - and don't know the name either! Like the way you used all the scraps and actually think the orange gives it a good pop! The apple image is so cute too! Great card.

I love how you've squeezed every last bit out of the DSP pack and onto a card. And I LIKE the orange! I DO! It's a pop of color, where everything else blends nicely. Well done!
