Made With Scraps!

Did you ever look at your desk after creating something wonderful? Does yours look like a tornado ripped through the room? Or is it just me? Please tell me it isn't just me! I was working on a few new Crafty Secret's projects and had crap laying all over.......so I decided to take that crap and make something with it! Yep. Consider it my "Going Green" mission! This is the end result! I had an extra Shrinky Dink spoon and coffee bean that would have normally gone in the garbage.....instead it is here! I stamped the sentiment on the tag.....that just happened to be laying around.......and punched a few hearts to "ground" my spoon. That's it!

So whadda ya think? I probably shouldn't quit my day job eh?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Happy New Year Michele! I love your eco-card :) I think it is sweet...especially since I'm a coffee-aholic!

No way! I love it! You should keep a wee basket beside your workspace for all the "scraps" and then dive in once in awhile for some fun no-fuss, no-stress creation! That's what I do!

Love the card you made from your scraps. And you are not alone, My craft room looks like a huricane has passes when I am working on something. If only there were a way to pull out all the stuff you want to use without making a mess. Take care,

Marisa

Adore this card Michele! That ribbon is so bold I adore it! If you must keep your day job, so be it! I think you are so darn talented though! Probably doesn't pay as well! He he! Happy new year! Deb
