I still have PLENTY of love/Valentine's Day doodads strewn all over my work space. I picked up the glitter chipboard heart and thought, "Reds are so hard to match." I dug through all my scrap dps and found this polka dot dp. A very nice match! Now to match the polka dots...I found this nice tan in my ziploc bag of brown Bazzill scraps.
I usually like three colors on my cards so I needed to find a third color. I could not find another red or brown in my stash that went well. I noticed this "sweet talk" heart also had the same red, so white become my third color. Then I went to my DCWV box and pulled a white card and embossed it with the Fiskars plate.
Now I have one small rectangle left of this dp and two more red glitter chipboard doodads. I gotta find a way to put them on one card. Do you do that? When I find a match for something that is difficult to match, I try to use it all up right then and there (mostly so I don't forget!)

i SHOULD do that... (for EXACTLY the same to reason; short-term memory *IS* the first to go!) ...i often *intend* to do that...when i made cards to sell i DID do it...but now i have a short attention span and crave excitement at all times. (so i have the biggest scrap file in NJ!!!) (& proud of it, maaaannnn!)
YOU...on the other hand...are a MARVEL of efficiency AND creativity!!! ♥♥♥
Great suggestion! I usually gather up the scraps and shove in my scrap drawer never to be seen again (reason I had to create a second scrap drawer!)lol
Great job;lovin' the texture folders!..............deanna
This is why you are the QUEEN of using up stuff Miss June...and the rest of us will one day be buried under the piles of leftovers that we intended to make something with but never did!!!!!
Very cute card....LOVE the glittery heart ♥
Every time I see Lauren's blurry picture, it makes me dizzy :^) ... love how you used up all of your matching goodies ... another cute card.
I love the embossing on your card front!
Oooh, Another beauty!
Lovely card!
I wish I knew how to organise scraps. I have drawers full of them as I can't bear to throw things away, but one of these days I'll have to do something drastic or I won't fit into my craft room!

So sweet June!! That's one of my hugest problems...I don't have a lot of paper, so I'm always trying to find that perfect match. NOT easy!!
GREAT job on the challenge!!
