What I like about crafting

Just sharing a quick, simple card today that really fits into my way of crafting and my character. Actually I love making something from combined elements that are nothing on their own.


For example - the background of this card is the the cover of a paper-pack from K&Co, which one usually doesn't use. The paper I stamped the bird on is a scrap paper, as is the butterfly and flower. Fitting them together makes a card, but on their own they are just loose elements. I think it satisfies something in me to do this.

The Bird is from Artistic Outpost which can be found here.

    Another fabulous card and a great way to use the Paper Pad cover, what a clever idea. I will have to rethink my pads now!!

    You are perfectly correct ... we really don't need all the things we buy ... because you have proved that from scraps come some of the most beautiful creations .... Have a lovely day

    I love to use scraps and package wrappings too. Somehow it gives one a good feeling to be repurposing materials. This turned out so beautiful, Jacqueline.
