April 2026 -Let's use those scraps.

 By now you might have used most of your kit and might have left over bits and pieces. This post gives you some ideas to use the leftover bits and pieces.

First a refresher on the kit we counterfeited this month.

Tara and I have some ideas you can copy or adapt to suit your needs.

I am starting out with very few scraps since I didn't come even close to bashing my kit this month!  I am in the season of military moving and have been a little busier than normal.  Here's the photo of what I am starting with:

 

I will still have a few of the scraps left after I complete my layout for this challenge.  

 

 

For this layout, I kept the two larger triangles intact and used them to create a focal point for my photo.  I also stitched on them.  The photo is popped up on fun foam.  I used the fussy cut florals from my kit as well as the foam title and hearts that are also in my kit!  Check out the detail shots below:

At this point the first thing I do is put all my offcuts in a pile.

If there are any whole sheets of paper left, they become your base.

Look for photo or photos that match the things that are left. (colour or theme)

Sometimes it could be a large embellishment or journal block you want to get out of the way.

From a previous month I had these

I managed a layout using squares cut from those pieces.

From this month I only had a few embellishments and some white card. I used wet teabag and wiped over the white card. I then cut it into tag shapes.

 

 

Next, I made tags using my embellishments I had

 

These will be used on cards or future layouts. Here's 2 cards I just made

Come back tomorrow, May 1st for our Kit Reveal and Hop!!
