"Scrap" Booking with Scraps

So my desk is usually a big huge mess of paper scraps, punches, embellishments and a big mass of Thickers. As long as I can use my paper trimmer, I really don't mind just piling current supplies on the old and creating a layout right on top of the mess. But every once in awhile I can't stand it anymore and I decide to clean my desk. So what should I do with all those left over scraps of patterned paper?? Well, scrapbook with them, of course! Here are a couple of layouts I created entirely with scraps of paper that had been littering my desk for the past few months, including the little branding strips that adorn almost every 12x12 paper.




Fun, right? I love the pieced-together look and guess what?? My desk is clean! For now, anyway!

Crate Paper CHA Sneaks!!

Are you ready for CHA?? I love seeing all the new collections and pics from the booths, even if it is through instagram and the interwebs. I so wish I were going--the weather in Anaheim is way better than here, and I'd love to have the chance to meet lots of my online scrappy friends and go to Disneyland (!). Sigh...maybe next year! Until then, though, have you seen the new Crate Paper releases?? I created a project using Oh Darling, and let me tell you, it is totally darling, indeed! It'll be featured on the Crate blog soon, but here are some sneaks.






So cute, right?? And I am totally in love with that Roller Skate. Takes me right back to Friday night skates at Baypoint rink! Make sure you check out the Crate blog, cause you could win a prize pack from Oh Darling, Boys Rule, or Maggie Holmes' Styleboard!! Look at some of these goodies...

So, hop on over to the Crate Blog for your chance to win!!
