Hello! Just a quick post with some Christmas cards I created from a pile of scraps. I decided since so many of the scraps were pretty small, I would go with a quilted theme. I'm not sure what you would call these particular quilt patterns, crazy?? No matter what you call them, they used up quite a bit of the smaller pieces of some very old Christmas DSP. There are still a few bigger pieces left, but I think they'll have to wait for another day (maybe a scrapbook layout).
I pieced and glued my scraps onto a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of copy paper, ran the whole thing through the embossing folder and finished my card. Not too difficult other than trying to find the right placement for the scraps... I also managed to use the negative cut of a top note die that has been in my stash for a loooong time. So glad it has a home now!
School and DD2 have been keeping me quite busy and I really need to get more Christmas cards made if they're going to be ready in time! Wish me luck and thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a wonderful day!

Good job using up the scraps and getting more Christmas cards completed. Yes, make a scrapbook page with some of the scraps!
