Intro Post Day #2- Hello Po!

 Since you've already met the two new images, I thought I'd get straight to the project!

Now I can't really reveal yet who this card went to... it's a surprise!  It was actually sent to our guest designer for this release, but I can't reveal who that is yet.  All I can tell you is that it's a no-brainer.

So these pandas totally make me feel like using bright colors.  Is it because I color them up in black and white?  Maybe. I just feel like they need to have some bright backgrounds everytime I use them.  This time, I decided to cut up more of my doodlebug designs paper.  Rather than just using one pattern, I opted to use 4 different patterns for fun and interest.  This is a really fun way of using up your scraps and not having the same old layout. 



That ca-ute banner die is by La La Land crafts. This is the first time using this die and I am kicking myself for not playing with it sooner.  It's so cute! I love hearts and this one just screams Jenny.

Oh.. and did you notice my cute "hello" sentiment die?  Love it!  I believe that is a Mama Elephant die.  Can never have enough Hello dies and stamps.  And here's the panda of the hour.. Po!!  Still up to something sneaky I bet.


And here's Ling Ling... I think he couldn't care less about anything but having fun!


Oki doki.. the real reason you bared through this post... the opportunity to win Po!  Here's what you gotta do:

1) Leave a comment on THIS POST by 08/31/14 11:59pm HST; and
2)  Tell me what you like to do with your leftover scraps.  I learned from my good friend Debi to trim them down to a manageable 6x6 size and then file them.  Try to go to that stack first before cutting up a new paper.

  1. Too Sweet!! I'm trying really hard to use my scrap papers for backgrounds, diecut pieces, etc... I hoard to much to throw them away! :)

  2. Adorable! For designer paper scraps I have a file that I stick them in by color family. For solid color paper scraps I stick them back in the package they came from.

  3. Oh so cute! Love this card! have a box that I put all my scraps in and I go to that box first before I start a new project. I also punch out squares and different shapes for future projects. :)

  4. I love Po! He reminds me of my baby boy - always up to a little mischief! I have ziploc bags full of scraps from thin strips to one inch square pieces and up. I usually use them to make bookmarks or punch out shapes. I have even mailed them to other crafters that do ATCs and bookmark because I have so much and its a little less that I don't have to figure out how to use and it's "new" to them. =)
