Sometimes you just have to use those odds and ends...

I was cleaning up my craft area the other day, and I came across a little stash of shapes, presumably to be used for sentiments. I really wanted to use most of them, so here's one of the cards I made:

The striped piece is actually one of the pieces in the stash, as are the white oval, green rectangle and yellow oval. The narrow ribbon covered up a score line that was there (and I didn't know what for!).


The white oval and the green rectangle are glued flat, while the yellow sentiment oval is popped up on foam tape. I thought it looked okay to stack them up like this. In fact, I believe it added a bit of interest.

I also added a few gems for some sparkle.















I added a simple stamped sentiment to the inside. 

Now, I've just got to use up all the rest of those shapes...

We are slowly getting my brother-in-law's estate in order. Today, I filled my car with things that I will donate to the thrift store tomorrow.  It is a reminder to me to try to get rid of the things in my home that I no longer use. We all have so much "stuff," don't we?

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Great use of that stuff. I like the layered labels. Those are pretty colors too. Having been through the sorting and discarding from both our parents, we are gradually giving up our "dust collectors". I don't want my kids to have to do it.
