I have a paper pack that I have had for a quite a while and it is getting down to some pretty small scraps left. I had a fun time playing with them this past weekend. Here's what I came up with so far. I was able to use the larger pieces on the top card and used a bunch of smaller scraps for the second card. Based on the sketch I decided to use, I was able to use tiny scraps to create the illusion of larger pieces. You can see that at the very bottom of the picture and can see how they hide behind the main panel in the finished first card. I still have all those scraps left in the top right corner, but I have an idea for some of them.
In the photo below you can see my scrapped layers--you can't even tell! This card with all the colors is perfect for a little boy birthday we celebrated over the weekend. Can you tell he was turning 2?? I also pulled the arrow from my bits and pieces stash. And the fun enamel circles I have had for a long time!
Here is the sentiment I created for the inside. As are all two-year-old boys, he is definitely full of shenanigans!
The second card made with the larger scrap pieces, I turned into a Father's Day card for my husband.

Heather, these are amazing! Good for you for using up all your scraps. Don't we all have so many of those. I've never seen them so neatly organized as you've done here, especially on the second card. (And that little pirate is sooo cute!) The first card is wonderful too. I love how interesting it is. You've really done a great job on both of these! Thanks so much for playing with us at Word Art Wednesday! We really appreciate you!
Perfect use of your colourful paper snippets for the two cards in this post.
Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground with the second card. See you up in the treehouse shortly. xxx
Great use of scraps, I love the patchwork design! Both cards are really cute, fun & creative! Thank you for sharing with us @ 613 Avenue Create.

Both of these cards are darling and a great way to use up those scraps. Thanks for playing over at TSOT.
What a sweet way to use up those scraps! Colorful & fun way to use the sketch. Thanks for sharing with us at TSOT!
Both cards are great ideas of two ways to use the scraps for a focal point and/or background, creative and fun cards. Thanks for sharing your fun masculine cards with us at Double Trouble and combining the one with our sister TSOT sketch challenge. You might try to enter your second card to DTC for more chances to our random draw as you have met the 3-2-1 recipe for both.
Marvelous bright color! You arranged those papers perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing your card at TSOT.
Heather, what a great birthday card for a 2-year old boy! I'm sure he loved the bold patterns, bright colors and texture added using the circles!! Thank you for sharing your creativity with both Double Trouble and our partner TSOT!!! -Donna
