All That Scrap For Me

Hello again! Things have been crazy as always and I've neglected my poor blog. Just wanted to share a little ATC project with you today. These were made for a swap in Fancy Paper Crafters . The swap theme was Spring ATCs. I love all the flowers and butterflies that come out in spring so naturally, this is what I was going to do for my ATC. With the designer paper that I chose, I had so many color options! I looked through my cardstock to see what I had in my stash (I'm on a mission to use my stash rather buy anything!) that would match and came up with this coral/pinky color. I used a Stampin Up punch for the butterfly. The flower center is a simple jeweled brad by Recollections. The jewels on the butterfly are by Nicole's Design (I think!). I couldn't find my flower punches so I used my spellbinder dies and embossed them. Pretty easy peasy right :). Thanks for stopping by today!! Have a crafty day!

Crafters will commonly collect them (which is pretty much what I do) or use them on craft projects like cards or scrapbook layouts. So, without further ado, here's my little creation:     These little cards took quite a while to do, but you know the old saying, "good things come to those who wait" right ;)?! Here are the products I used: - Bazzill Cardstock - Bitter Chocolate and French Vanilla - My Mind's Eye Designer Paper - Be Loved - Lovely Loops, Sweet Hearts and Dearest Dots - Tim Holtz Distress Inks Walnut Stain and Evergreen Bough - Some form of a distressing tool (I like the Heidi Swapp one) - Heartfelt C...
