So much for my New Year's Resolution...

Unbelievable!!  I cannot believe that my last post was in March!  I really wanted to post at least once a month this year.  What happened?  Who knows...another mystery question that will linger on into the universe to probably never be solved.

OK, so now that that is out of the way, I'd like to share an idea that I had.  All of us have leftover scraps, right?  What do you do with yours?  I decided to go through all my scraps and figure out what to do with what I have.  I really had good intentions on using my scraps...at one point...but now...  I took all my scraps and cut them down to either 4x6 or 4x3 pieces and filed them with my Project Life cards. 

All my scraps that are smaller than 3" wide and are 12" long, I create rosettes for future projects or give-a-ways.  

I scored a few at a time instead of 1 at a time to make the process go by faster.  I also used a border punch on some of the wider pieces.

I folded several pieces at a time.  Kind of like an assembly line.

I used the smaller scraps to make circles for the rosettes to be glued to.

I overlap my rosettes instead of butting to ends up to each other.  Overlapping seems to hold better and have a more finished look to it.

Here are a few rosettes that I made.  I doubled some up for a different look.  I didn't add any centers to them because I don't know where they will be used just yet.  Plus if I give them away I don't want the receiver to have to settle for what I chose to be in the center.

I don't have all the strips turned into rosettes yet.  But every time I get a creative block, I pull some strips out to make.  By the time I'm done making a few, I'm ready to get crafty.

Anything smaller than my smallest punch was tossed in the trash.  All other scraps were sorted by color and put in a baggie and stored for future possible use.

Thanks for stopping by!
