My Very 1st Challenge!

I came across this blog that was challenging people to use their scraps and send in a photo of what they create.  I have so many scraps that I probably should never have to buy paper again, ever!  But like most scrapaholics I see the stuff in the stores and ooooh and aaaaaah over it all and buy it.  I started off scrapbooking and had so many gorgeous pieces of paper left over that I couldn't bear to throw them out.  Cardmaking was born because of that.  (It has become my passion BTW.)  I still used to have scraps left over from the cardmaking and kept putting them aside.  With this challenge I think I found the ultimate way to use up the teeny tiny bits of paper and lace and ribbon.  I made several gift cards from the stuff in my bins.  They are mostly 2 x 2 or 3 x 3 size.  Just big enough to slip onto a gift box or put a hole in the top corner and put a pretty ribbon so it can be tied to a gift bag.  Wish me luck.  Oh and here's the link in case anyone else would like to check it out.  (I hope I do this right.)
