little things mean...

...i have been "playing" when i should be working, usually!

this "little thing" is no exception. the other night, when i had finished the card that became one half of my mother's day card production for this year, i started playing around with the leftover bits of cardstock and paper & chipboard... (and--quite unconsciously--with heidi's sketch!!! see--i told you this was one we'd all be using again and again!) ...i made a scrapling. sort of. i don't think it's exactly the right size. but it's close. and it's the right shape. i'm callin' it a scrapling. scrapling purists, feel free to boycott m'blog. i shall understand. :)


(patterned paper: prima, plus vintage sheet music; kraft cardstock: hobby lobby; diecut flowers: k&co; rub-ons & chipboard border: my mind's eye; sticky pearls: michaels; inks: colorbox; other: zig pen, 3m foam tape, uhu gluestick, tombow monoadhesive runner)

  8. I am the Queen of Using Scraps, and I hereby dub this card a "Scrapling of the Highest Order".

    It amazes me how some of the best cards come from scraps and bits and bobs. Your lovely card is no exception, of course!
