Patchwork Scrapwork Card

Nichole Heady did a post at the beginning of the year challenging everyone to use their scraps.  I saw this tutorial from Jessica Witty (PTI's guest designer) and just knew I could make one too.  Don't you love it when you are so inspired you have to give it a try right away?  

I took out my folder of scraps and used the Basic Grey Sultry paper that I have been "saving" for quite some time now.  I struggle with coordinating different patterned papers so I made sure to use the same company, same line.    Makes it much easier!

I then followed Jessica's very easy to do tutorial.  She has step-by-step instructions and lots of pictures.  Once I had assembled the "patchwork" I decided to use my Label 8 nesties to "shape" it.  (One thing to note - my Cuttlebug did not go through all the layers so I had to use my scissors to cut it out.  No biggie since the lines were there for me to follow.)  I then used the next larger size nestie and cut out a pink mat (again from my scrap folder) to frame the patchwork.

This is a close up of the tag I used on my button.  It's from Stampin Up! Tiny Tags that I punched out with the new style punch.  This set was a Christmas gift from my SIL - Sharilyn.  I was thrilled to receive it especially since it's the new clear-mounts SU is offering.  This is a very cute set and those tiny tags will work great with my huge button collection!

Thanks for looking!
