Busy as a bee

Lately I have been so busy, but things are finally calming down a little. This is known as the calm before the storm because in 2 weeks we will have finals and then my junior year will be done! Wow, it has just flown by. I was able to make a card using some of my scraps of paper and of course my cricut :) I also used some scrap fibers to add a little texture.



The trees were cut out at 4 inches from the Give a hoot cartridge and I just layered a fussy cut on the middle. I used a martha stewart punch around the page for the loops on the left. The words and music paper behind the trees were from an old hymnal I picked up at a book sale. This card has many layers and took a while to make, but it was a lot of fun.

Scrappy card

So when thinking about moving back home for the summer I get this awful feeling deep in my stomach. As some of you who know me probably know the reason why... I have SO SO SO MUCH STUFF!!! This is actually a new revelation for me, but I am trying to change it. Whenever I craft, I like to save almost every single tiny piece of scrap paper, who knows what it could be used for! This is not logical though, because it accumulates so fast. I made this card using some of my scraps, and I plan on making a complete set of them for later use. This idea could aslo be adapted in so many other ways, I was just feeling the bright colors at the moment. 

I just cut out the shape of the "sun" on the green glitter paper and then glued random brightly colored scraps to make the rays. Super easy! Also, you cant really tell in the picture, I added some pop-dots on the little stamped piece so that it stands out a little more. Cant wait to make more!
