Don't ask me why, but I just hate scraps. I hate having tiny portions of food leftover. I used to hate the scraps I would have left from my sewing projects. And now that I scrapbook, I hate all the paper scraps.
But I simply can't throw these scraps away. (Well, the food often does get thrown away once I've given it sufficient time to mold in the fridge.)
So I've given myself a new mandate. Whenever I make a new layout, I have to use up the scraps immediately.
Last week, I actually completed a layout (the first in literally months). And since then, I have made 3 cards (one of which I already mailed) from the scraps. And I have another layout planned which should just about use up the remains.
Sure, I'm about sick of these two particular papers. But at least I'll have no scraps to store, right?

Ooh, these are great! You're doing better than me, I haven't scrapbooked since I started blogging :)
I make SUCH A MESS when I scrap! I have piles and piles of scraps. I should follow your idea and use some of them up :) I like digi scrapping for just that reason. Easy clean up and no left overs LOL!
Your page and cards look very nice! You did a nice job on all of them :)
take care,
Dawn
