We call it SCRAPbooking for a reason! As our fabulous NSD event comes to a close, if you are like me, your craft room is probably a disaster! You may be thinking "time to clean up". BUT NOT YET! What better way to end the day than with a true SCRAP challenge. Gather up all those scraps left from the day (or from other projects) and USE THEM! I find mosaic-like projects are a fabulous way to take all those little pieces to create treasures. Scraps are also great for layering - you can make them look like larger pieces when tucked under other layers. Use your imagination. But I don't want this to be TOO easy - it is challenge after all. So here are a few twists you must keep in mind:
* At least FOUR different patterned papers
* You may NOT use or cut into a fresh sheet of 12x12 patterned paper (cardstock for the base is the only exception)
* Start with nothing larger than 7x7 (base cardstock excluded)
* Digital, cards, or mixed media are all A-OK
I've included a few inspiration projects I found in the gallery for you, including one I created last night. If you saw what I used to create the layers behind my photo your first thought would be "Frankenstein"!
And for those that were following my hints:
1. It’s all in the name = SCRAPping
2. Your mom said you had to do but I say don’t = clean up
3. Size matters = limit to the size of the original papers to use
4. Safety in numbers = at least FOUR different papers
5. Cut it, punch it, shred it, tear it = whatever you need to do with your scraps to MAKE IT WORK
Challenge prizes: One $10 Gift Certificate per 7 participants. For example, if I get 21 participants, then I’ll have THREE winners. Woo Hoo! Cherries to all participants.
BONUS: If you use scraps from one of your NSD fast scrap or challenge projects, I'll award you BONUS cherries! Just show me the original challenge project along with your new project
