Who has Scrap Paper??? Quick Tip Tuesday!!

** Giveaway Closed*

As part of the Creative Cutter Room design team I would like to share this quick tip with you!

Next time you reach for your stash just use it all up!
Don't just cut one, cut as many as will fit on your scrap paper!
Then you have extra card/scrapbook embellishments and not scrap paper!!

This is how it starts! You need to make a cut:
 Then  you put this in your scrap box and eventually you will cut it all down, organize it and end up with this:
 Why not just end up with this??
Check out my video for more details!




I hope you enjoyed my video!

    I am a scrap-addict, I think... I insist on saving every tiny scrap... How silly. I'm going to try and use your tip -- I may end up with even more saved embellishments, but now I'm on a mission!! :) Hey, this should be easy -- A few weeks ago, I divided all my scraps by color... It did encourage me to check my scraps before pulling out a whole new piece of cardstock, but... I have plenty of scraps to make plenty of extras!! Thanks for the inspiration!!

    This is SUCH a great idea! It's so much easier to put things together in an assembly-line - and then to have extras ready to go when needed! I'd love to use this for FCCB's Quick Tip Tuesday. I'll link back to your blog and give you all the glory!! Fabulous tip!!

    Just saw this (linked on Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog)!!! I've done this before, but not as a routine. I think I might have to do it! You're right! It is great to look and see all these ready-made card elements!! :) Enjoy your tutorials! Thanks so much!
