Using up the scraps in a grid-tag design

Hello! Nice to be back. I am finally feeling better after having had the flu for two weeks, feeling low and not having the strength to do much.


Today I want to share how I found another way to use up the scraps that accumulate over the weeks. I have a template tag size 8cm x 4.5cm (so the scrap isn't big) which I put on the scrap and cut around it. Then I just placed three of the ones that formed a pattern next to each other, and add a couple of embellishments
and my card is ready.


Adding just one more:



I am so happy when I find a home for these precious pieces of paper and butterflies!

Hope you are well!
I remain so so thankful for those that still visit me and leave me such precious words of encouragement and friendship!
Jacqueline

    Eine schöne Idee von dir, die Tags aneinander zu reihen.
    Das gefällt mir sehr gut.
    Danke für die Inspiration.

    Es freut mich zu lesen, dass es dir besser geht, meine Liebe.
    Alles Gute und viel Sonnenschein im Herzen.
