Using leftovers...

I have finished my August projects for for My Little Shoebox, except it will be a bit before I can share. I had some leftovers sitting on my desk and I just started playing. I cut some pattern paper to 3x5 and just kept adding stuff, I didn't think about what I was making and after 30 minutes I came up with 2 of these "embellished embellishment pieces." Plus is gave me a chance to play with the new stamps.

I stamped the sheep on the back of a MLS journaling card, used distress ink and splattered with Maya Road Mists. I love the "down home" feel you get with the burlap and fabrics.

I left some space for journaling and I can easily add this to my next layout.








and on this one same concept, just different "found pieces." I have a big bin of pieces of odds n' end. Its fun to dig through and see what may work for a project.



oh wait before you go, have you visited the My Little Shoebox blog lately, you should see the new work going up by the new design team-they are so talented!

Hope you have a great day.
