Scrapbook Sunday? Use Those Scraps!

What I love about scrapbooking is that as soon as you finish a layout, you're thirsty do more.


After I finished the scrapbook page on Amy Winehouse, I wanted to do something a little silly and not so serious. So I decided to do a page about my newly acquired Blackberry. This is the big leagues Sister!

What I did is went through all my scraps of cardstock and embellishments that I bought and never used much. And there was a lot. All of it retired Stampin' Up supplies that I kept because as I said, paper is a big investment. You don't want to be throwing anything out and I'm glad that I was able to use what I had on hand for this layout. It's a great way of experimenting with colour and designs without feeling like if you make a mistake, you have to throw it all away. It's scraps!

I thought the buttons created texture and something fun without going overboard. And you'll often see the torn edge look on most of my layouts...gives a great texture and rawness to the over all feel and look of it.

Let me know what you think!
