so i'm going to do this a little backwards. after i complete a layout … i love to make up a quick card or two using the scraps i have leftover. i figure it's all out and coordinated … so why not use bit and pieces to make something else while it's all out.

Nice_work_champ_card   

this is actually the scraps from 2 layouts that i'm finishing up. so you'll be seeing some of this same stuff on the next few layouts i share. lol! i still have to finish up my journaling … so i'll probably share tomorrow. this card was made using a decorative scalloped envelope and journaling card from the april KOTM … which i'm so glad i got because it has some super fun stuff in it! the journaling card is just that … a one-sided card. so i just added a piece of cardstock to the back to cover up my brads and staples … and i figured i can write on that.

the die-cut star paper is ki memories. and i cannot tell you how sad i was to use that little piece of pink polka-dot ribbon … it was the last little bit i had left and i must get more of it! lol! ribbon, shimmer star brads, and rubon are making memories. although after seeing this picture … i think i'll switch out one or two green brads for the pink ones. not sure why i didn't think of that before. lol!and the cork is karen foster … ever since using it last week on that school layout i can't stop using it. there is more of it to come this week … trust me!

    Oh I love these. I used that KI star paper on a layout recently, but before I did I used it as a stencil on another page. I sprayed it with glimmer mist. Very Cool

    Lovely card … love how you use up your scraps to make cards, I really should try harder to do the same. I’m glad you are enjoying your April KOTM … I REALLY wanted to get it, but the postage to the UK more than doubled the cost of the kit, so I couldn’t justify it and nor did I think it was worth all that extra. I was rather gutted that I couldn’t get it though.
