Converting unused projects to grids

Today was time to use up the scraps..

Inchie card

Inchie card

.. well those projects that have never materialized into a card. Either I was not satisfied or something went wrong on it - so after a while I just stamp with my Hero Arts Square stitched-edge background stamp and cut the projects up into squares and make something totally different with them. This way, I still have a card and still have the projects but presented in a different way..

I am also going to enter these into the 'In Stitches' challenge on Jenny's blog here as I used a stamp with faux stitching.

  8. Gorgeous saves! I'm guessing that the finished product is about 9" x 12" more or less, right?

  10. Just awesome. Love them both - each has it's own appeal. What a clever idea to use them like this. My scraps are always too messy or uncoordinated to do this!
