Happy Scrappy Thursday!

ETA:  According to my dear friend, Carole (a.k.a. TruCarMa) today is Friday so she has already posted our challenge which was scheduled for tomorrow.  Tomorrow is Friday here in Virginia, Carole, not today, so you’ll have to wait until then to see my card.  lol.   {{{{Carole}}}}

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to participate in Julia’s Thursday WT Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers but I had to play this week…the challenge is to use scraps!   Good grief, I have a TON of them.  (I have tried to be better about tossing the smaller pieces.)

Happy Birthday

I used some patterned paper scraps (I this Wild Asparagus paper), a cardstock scrap and some ribbon and lace scraps.

The sentiment is part of The Art of Framing from the Rummage Bin line at Cornish Heritage Farms and the Aged Sheet Music stamp is a new Scrapblock™ to be released August 5th. 

I decided to add the distressing after everything was already assembled so I used my fingernail to bend some of the corners and edges and to add little tears here and there.   (Good thing I didn’t apply my glue right up to the edges.  I use Tombo Multi and once something is glued down, it’s pretty much there to stay.)

I hope the flower looks ok.  (It looks ok, doesn’t it? Eek.)  I just love what other people do with them, but when I use them, I tend to think they look stupid.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!  🙂
