Use it or Lose It!

I was flicking through a box of my papers yesterday and came across lots of leftover pieces that I had tucked back in the box (I store my papers by manufacturer), every time I finish a page all the half (or less) sheets left of the line that I used I keep to use again. But I decided I have become a paper hoarder!  So I am on a mission to either use all these leftovers or lose them to the bin!
As I was in the 3 Bugs box when the idea struck I rummaged around and came across these pretty pieces that went together...
The A side.
The B side.
Here is my quick and easy page, quick because I didn't spend any time looking for the perfect papers and easy because I decided to play along with The Studio Challenges 'triangle' challenge. Therefore I cut out lots of triangles placed them where I liked the look and boom, a page  almost done!
As I only wanted a small part of the second photo I decided a pretty Heidi Swapp glitter frame would make a feature out of it.
And the fussy cut flowers with added glitter glue to match the frame. Slight cheat here with the die cut leaves - the paper was not in the original pile BUT it was cut from another piece of scrap!
I even had enough paper left over to make a super quick card!
With a clear conscience I can now throw away scraps!
I wonder if you have some leftover hoarder paper?????
Come on use up those old pieces and make room for some more (no I must not buy any new papers!). 
There is just a couple of days left to play along with the Studio Challenges click HERE to check it out.

Thanks for stopping by and hopefully I will play again soon. xx

  6. Love this layout :)
    If you can't use all those half sheets and bigger scraps consider donating them to the local children's hospice/hospital - they'll get some good use out of them

  8. Loving how you used your scraps to make the card and layout! I'm guilty of hoarding my scraps to! I used to store my scraps by color now I put them in a clear bag and keep them with the paper packs.

  11. This is very pretty and to think that it was made just from old stash is double rewarding I think! :)
