Happy New Year with stacks of scraps

Happy New Year to us all!!...
 
have been sort of horrified to realise all the bits I have kept from my creations...
a box of scraps leftover from quilts mainly..
and the quilts are using up old bit of clothes and fabric I cant bear to throw away...
the scraps come in handy for the little dolls and animals...
and recently I tried some crazy patchwork to use some bits up...
they've become mini quilts...
but still too small for the dollies lying around...
 



 
the latest horse appeared...
and around him/her my stacks of scraps..
still more bits saved for the day when I will recreate something...
 


 
even another dolly has appeared...
lots of work to be done to empty the scrap box...
and then I noticed the other day that I was adding more stuff to it!...(sigh)..
oh well...gives me something to do...
maybe this year I'll use it all up!?!...

  4. oh yeah, i know you do!!
    to begin:

    step 1 rip out a page
    step 2 cut or tear something from that page
    step 3 use a glue stick to stick it to something eg:cardboard, paper etc.
    ta da!!!

    repeat above steps until it makes you happy, (or sometimes not so happy)

    my suggestion for today........read lay hoon's post today! (mescrap studio).

  5. ok...ok...will try to do something soon...it means I have to go back to different stacks and sort them...(sigh)....or at least find stuff that I have had a go at...not as clever or arty as you lot can do...my style is very ordinary...xS
