Latest Crafty Project.......

Hi Girls..

I'm here today to share my lastest craft project with you.

I've been trying really, really hard to use up some of my leftover scraps of scrapbook paper before I cut into a new piece, so I did just that for this project. 

I dug into the drawer where I keep all of my larger scraps of paper to dig out some coordinating pieces that would give me the look I was hoping for.

And this is the end result....

 
It turned out quite nicely and keeps with my favorite vintage/shabby chic look that I love so much.
 
For this project, I used a thin 8 x 10 canvas board that I purchased at JoAnne's when they were on sale for 50% off last week (these boards came in a pack of 3) so this collage is larger than the one's I usually make. 
 
I sometimes have to laugh at myself when I think about how much scrapbook paper I buy when I don't even do any real scrapbooking with photos. I'm just addicted to pretty papers that I can use for making tags, mini-albums, journals and collages like these.  I even tried my hand at card making several years ago, but I never really found my niche with that.  I enjoy creating these collages so much more.
 
Well, that's all for today.  Enjoy what's left of your weekend.
 
See you again soon..
