Nothing goes to waste!

How many pages can I make with seven pieces of 12x12 coordinating cardstock?
Well, we will never know because I got tired of the color scheme before I answered my own question. I made the following four pages, then decided to save the rest for my sister! So, Melody, you are inheriting enough to do at least two pages, if not more. You'll need the background 12x12 pages (blue, brown, or white) but this should be enough for the rest. I have all the embellishments that go with the scheme and then some. I hardly made a dent in the pack of embellies that came with this. There are still silk flowers, L/M/S brads, ribbon, and buttons. These were all fast pages, but they are done, so I am thankful for that. Three of them were 45 minutes pages. Mel, I will save all this stuff for when you get here next month! EEEEEEE! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!



This is what is STILL left!!!! Ridiculous amount of paper!
I punched four circles in case you want them, Mel.

  2. thanks, kodi. these pages were actually fun because i didn't have to think about what colors to go with what embellishments! using the oriental trading stuff.
    i have been tired all day too. MAN! i know it's cooler then, but i would have been ticked off if i heard a lawn mower at 6am on saturday...if i were working still. oh well, it was better for him, just not those that sleep in that one and only day! lol

  5. That's true, you did have new subjects this round! Ha ha... That's nice to have one of Dad in there. Your spreads give me ideas of how to better use my super slab of papers too. That will help me keep going now that I am back into it.

  7. Border? Um, all I did is cut squares and two strips of white. I tilted the pic and then cut two sections to fill in on each side of the pic. I tried to make the "space" in between each pic and square and such be the same all the way around.
