Hello creative people, I hope you are all in fine fettle??

I start today with a question.. Do you save your off cuts, scraps and
tester pages that are just too nice to throw away?
I try to use as many of mine as I can for backgrounds, projects and even create elements
to add to my projects but the scrap paper mountain never seems to go down much.
to add to my projects but the scrap paper mountain never seems to go down much.
Here's my quick solution to keeping them more organised using some of these goodies.
Using a White/Greyboard panel size 2.96 in x 5.52
from That's Crafty I dry brushed on Ranger Dabber Paints.
Pushed textured Sand Paste through a TCW Mini Texturized Stencil..
(I love this stencil..)
(I love this stencil..)
When dry added colour to the textured sand and
stamped Trish Latimers Word Girl One rubber stamp using black archival
onto the painted panel and coloured using Posca pens.
Dotted, dabbed and coloured areas to replicate flowers within the open space,
adding a tiny touch of gilding wax for shimmer.
This decorated panel has now become the cover for my scraps book and with a hole punched in the corner and scraps added, it's all held together with a book ring making it much easier to flip through and find a background.
I already have quite a few of these mini scrap journals near full but I'm sure you will agree
they look much more appealing than a mountain of paper and are a lot easier to store.
Thank you for stopping by, I hope your day is a creative one.
Take Care until next time..
Hugs Tracey xx
