another hare-brain idea


O.K.--so I'm now thinking that my "use up scraps immediately at all costs" plan may be doomed for failure. I still like the "idea", but actual execution is already wearing me down. I completed another layout using those 2 papers from my original. And another card. (Which puts the total at 2 layouts and 4 cards.) The problem? I'm sick to death of these papers! And I STILL have some left. How can 2 lousy sheets of paper go so far? And I've discovered another problem with my whole half-baked idea...I added a third pattern paper to the second layout, so I now, of course, have scraps from that paper as well. This is going to turn into a never-ending quest.

Oh well. Not the only dumb idea I've ever had. Not even the dumbest.

Look at it this way. At the very least you are getting pages done!!! I need to use up my scraps too. Maybe I can send them to you and you could use them up LOL!

take care,
Dawn

Or maybe we could just trade...add a little variety to things, huh?
Have a great one, Dawn!

here is a suggestion... create a "scraps" folder and revisit it every couple of months.. hopefully you will get a good variety of scraps in there and you won't feel overwhelmed by a partiular pattern.
