Layouts To Cards
I always tell myself to make cards with the leftovers from a layout, and lately I'm actually doing it. It's a no-brainer - the papers and embellishments chosen for the page all match perfectly and can be easily put together to make some cards. I love having birthday and thank you cards on hand, and it's a lot cheaper to make them yourself. Sometimes I even wrap up a few cards for a last-minute gift. Plus, using up those scraps means less to put away at the end of a scrap session. Win/win!
Here's a look at some recent layouts I did, followed by cards I made with the same supplies. On the last one, I got 6(!) cards done.
Scrap on!

Spongebob Finallydonepants!
I thought I'd whip this sucker up for Hannah's birthday, giving myself 2.5 days to get it done. It actually took one whole day more and just about did me in! I was almost done today when I realized I had sewed his legs on upside down...doh! She loves him, and I have to admit he's pretty cute. And one of a kind, because never again will I be taking that on.
