Now that you have been crafting the day aways, you likely have a pile of scraps that you can't part with. What do you do with them? Keep scrapbooking! Scraps are GREAT for adding little touches or being combined to be the feature on your layout.
One of our past designers, Corrie Jones was the queen of scraps. I always loved to see how she would layer up little pieces of paper and die-cuts or fussy cut pieces to create her layouts. I hope you will be as inspired by her as I am when you see just 3 of her layouts below. Simply gorgeous projects!

Love the layouts and so inspired by all the ideas for using scraps. Love using mine for small die cutouts, chevrons, card making and journaling. However, when they get overwhelming and I have way too many, I share with my niece's kindergarten and 1st grade classes at her school for their art projects. What they make is so amazing and they have so much fun with papers and glues.

I use my scraps to make another layout or I make DIY cards for a pocket page layout. Thanks!

I've used them for so many things lately from die cutting to using templates and even for tags. xx

I make embellishments such as paper flowers to use on my cards

Use my scraps to make beautiful cards. ❤️

A lot of my scraps become cards or accents on layouts. I love these gorgeous layouts - so inspirational!

I love to get out my patterned paper and make handmade jewelry for gifts. And I also love to get out my box of scraps and make all occasion cards for friends and family and stock up. Or I've been donating cards lately to the cancer centers in honor of my little sister who passed away last year.

I always use my scraps from scrapbooking pages to make cards, or sometimes I use the scraps and just punch/diecut embellishments or titles from the scraps. Love how Corrie has used her supplies for these layouts!

I like to use my scraps to back cut files!
Posted by: Jana Bolster | May 05, 2018 at 07:33 PM
I use my scraps as background layers, cut/stamp images on, piece words together, different crafts with my kids.

I use my scraps for punches and for making cards. Some of my favourites I have stretched to many projects, lol. I keep the small pieces in a container so they are easy to grab. Nothing worse than cutting up a full sheet only to find a scrap piece later 😜
Posted by: Melanie | May 05, 2018 at 07:34 PM
Whatever I can. I save pieces of all shapes and sizes to see what I can do with them.

Well placed scraps can make a very cohesive whole, as these layouts demonstrate. I use scraps to stamp sentiments, create banners, or just add a pop of colour to a project.

I use my scraps up by punching out hearts, butterflies, stars and such to use on future projects 😀

I love scraps...photo matting, strips, punches. sometimes you just need a little contrast between things, and scraps are perfect for that!
Posted by: Tammy Kist | May 05, 2018 at 08:10 PM
I like making banner strips or cutting out multiple small die-cuts as embellishments (like butterflies and hearts). Thanks for the chance!

I love using scraps! I like to make borders and backgrounds out of scraps. I also like to cover raw chipboard with my scraps to make different embellishments for my layouts.

I use my scraps to make cards.

I use my scraps to make cards or to decorate tags.

I have to be honest..I don't do scraps well...I package mine up and share them with a third grade classroom. These projects are great inspiration to create with them.
Posted by: Patti | May 05, 2018 at 09:32 PM
I use my scraps for cards and for pieces in my scrapbooks. I sort them by color and I don’t keep anything smaller than my palm so it doesn’t get overwhelming!
Posted by: Loretta | May 05, 2018 at 09:48 PM
I mat photos; die cut on my Cricut Explore; Make layered card fronts and even use it as short borders with a border punch, and make handmade flowers
Posted by: Beverly Jordan | May 05, 2018 at 10:14 PM
I like using scraps as backing for cutfiles. I also like using quilts as inspiration and using scraps for all the little pieces. Thanks for your inspiration!

Well I learned long ago I don't go back and use scraps if I keep them. Instead, whatever is leftover, after I create layout, I use to make a card(s) right then and there. Then anything after that, if there's anything of good size left, it goes in a box that I take to the Kindergarten at my son's school.
