Papertrey Paper Dolls Challenge #35: Scraps

Hello!!
I am here today with a card for the latest Papertrey Paper Dolls Challenge.  This challenge was to make a card using only scraps.  I really need to do this more often!  I have so many extra die shapes that I've cut and it can make putting a card together so much easier!


Every single one of these shapes (even the punched border AND the impressed aqua piece) were scraps left over from other projects!  The notebook paper was already stamped!  How fun to start combining the different elements to end up with this card!


Isn't this an unexpected color combo too?  I'm not sure that I've ever used orange with aqua before!

We would love to have you participate in our challenge!  Head on over to the Papertrey Paper Dolls blog and link up your creation using scraps!


Supplies (all PTI unless noted)
Twinery Twine
Yellow Bazzill, Kraft, Aqua Mist, Raspberry Fizz, White Cardstocks
DCWV Glitter Paper
PTI Butterfly, Notebook Page, Doily & Banner Die
Fiskars Border Punch
Sunshine & Canvas Impression Plates

Can't believe this is all from scraps! I LOVE the color combo. The orange is really just perfect with aqua mist. The whole card works just like you started from scratch.

Love it all!
Would have never thought of the orange and aqua...
but it works!
And isn't it great knowing that the scrap pile is just a little thinner?
Now if I could just mine under control...
life would be good!

Love it, Jen! The colors, the layers, the textures, the detail. A whole lot of fun in one card. Wish I can be as creative with my scraps.

Hey, Jen! This is so bold and bright and happy! I love it to pieces! And seriously! We ALL need to use up those scraps. I'll have to go check out that challenge. That's a new one for me.

On another note, I'm soooo excited to meet you on Friday, too. Woohoo! Yea for blog friends!

Um, maybe I need to work this challenge into my schedule before you guys come tomorrow! My scrap basket is one thing that I'm sure will fall to the bottom of my list before tomorrow! LOL Anyway, I know I've said it before but Jen, how do you DO it? All that color? I have a hard time with color challenges sometimes but you use color so easily!! Beautiful card!
