I loved watching your video. I really enjoy making masterboards and creating tags with them. I agree; a great way to use scraps up and very relaxing. Frankie paper-making is great fun too. Hope to start using fabric scraps soon. Tfs.

I've been making cards for 30 years, and this video is so creative in ideas for how to use scraps. I have a lot of those, and I tend to use them instead of foam for lift, but your ideas are really great. TFS these

That was so helpful! Loved the video. I do have a suggestion for those who dont own a sewing machine...you can take a black marker or a white gel pen and make mock stitches to give the appearance of stitching.

Meg love your ideas here. I once made a card for my sister by using the small (varying size) strips.. I used double sided sticker paper and just peeled down as I went. Then I cut it with a die cut and mounted it. Turned out so cute but you are right the smaller the piece the longer and harder it is to work with.

I love all these ideas! I have a hexagonal paper punch that I use in my scrapbook albums to use up scraps and make a quilt like pattern. It would be a lot of work to stitch it, but using Art Glitter Glue works just fine.

Ooh a hexagonal punch! 😍

This was just the shot of inspiration I needed: I really struggled at my craft table yesterday and couldn’t get anything done. Didn’t like anything I was trying to put together. I just made a piece of Frankenpaper and while I’m not happy with the result, it was good to try and get the creative juices flowing. I really want to try making a fabric snippet roll.

Hello. Wonderful ideas! Newby question: What do you do with your completed journals? Sell them? Give as gifts? Keep them for personal journaling? I see how making them could be addictive, but I’m not really one to write in a journal, and I need to figure out what to do if I start to make them, LOL.

@ChasingRetro 2 ай бұрын

Hi! Great question! I do sell some. I also make for friends and family gifts - and special requests. I also write in some I keep for myself, but also collect some that I don’t write in. :) little bit of everything!
