Using up those Scrappy backgrounds...



Last January, the only "crafty" thing I could do while visiting Ernie during the renovation was make Scrappy Backgrounds. I made over fifty. I loved picking what colors to use and I picked all kinds of color combos, including some with Christmas and Winter colors...

 
 
FINALLY, an opportunity to use them!
 
I turned two into Christmas cards which will be shown in a future post and then two like this.  The sentiment is one I stamped while visiting Sherry last week.  She has such cool sentiments that I've never seen.  And the snowflakes are from some she sent me last year.  It doesn't show up clearly in this picture but, the Scrappy background (cut 4.875"x 3.625") is mounted on navy blue then white.  I think it looks stunning in person...

    1. I love that we can share too... it broadens my "supply", so to speak. I already have supplies set aside to use at your house the next time I come. Which, woo hoo, is next week!
