As I was going through my paper scrap pile, I noticed there were some similar themed ones. Specifically, I found birthday design pieces and sweet frozen treat scraps. I decided that using my circle dies might be a simple way to design a card from the scraps. (I love my Spellbinders set because it allows me to strategically cut the circles from the printed paper.) It was fun cutting various sized circles and arranging them in a pleasing pattern on a card blank. I also die cut My Favorite Things word circles from DCVW foil paper and glued them down after the patterned paper circles were glued in place. The cards still didn't feel complete so I added small enameled dot stickers to jazz up the cards. I may have gone overboard with the yellow dots on the Happy Birthday card, but I do think they go well with the circle theme of the cards. Anyway, I hope this gives you another idea of what to do with your paper scraps. I still have a bushelful of paper scraps (printed and solid) so I will continue to think of ways to use them up (perhaps it's time to make some tags...LOL!). Happy Scrap Crafting!

I wish I could be as conscientious as you are about using your scraps to make more beautiful crafts!
