I had a pile of paper scraps from a paper line (Sidewalks) and since they were all from the same line they all coordinated - that made this project very easy for me.
A folder was needed in my attempt to stay organized, and a box of white ones from almost a decade ago are still here - my days as a Stampin' Up demo - we would use the (then new!) jumbo wheel rollers on these.
I collaged the Sidewalks paper scraps into this - now one could add ribbons, machine stitching and/or all sorts of embellishments to this, but it is unfortunately not going to be on top all of the time, so I kept the surface flat to allow stacking.
I love using scraps and random shaped paper pieces in projects like this. But what I really liked was I didn't have to think about coordinating them - I was free to use them all and wasn't restricted by fear of what looked good next to what.
I saw this photo on Mish's post here and this inspired me to do this project:
I so want to try this. Need to go make more scraps - ha. Best wishes for a great day!
