using up scraps

My goal is to use up the scraps of paper that I have been hanging on to because they are to good to recycle. I did good last week while recovering from surgery cleaning out the scrap files, but there were still a TON that were to good to go. Now that the mojo is slowly returning, it's time to use 'em up!

I started with sketch #99 from OWH Stars and Stamps blog. The image stamp is one that I've had for awhile & didn't know what to do with it. It's from a local company (Olympia, Wa), Great Impressions. Colored with copics. Patterned paper is all old Doodlebug. It's so old, it's all 8 1/2 x 11 & is the really light weight (think copy paper light) patterned paper. I used the matching Bazzill cardstock to help beef up the card fronts, till I ran out of the correct matching color. Now to see if I can find a good match since I think that color (forget-me-not) has been discontinued and I have a ton of this paper line to still use...

This card started with sketch 93 from the Stars and Stamps blog. Again the same Great Impressions stamp and more Doodlebug paper...
