I love saving my scraps for card making because lately I have really been trying to use up all of whatever collection I am creating with. How many times have you cleaned out your scrap space and had tons of extra paper left over? All that paper is perfect for creating hand made cards for friends and loved ones.
How do I store my scraps you ask? Well that is the key to my organization. I have a single 12x12 bin that my scraps go in. When it starts to get 1/2 full, I make cards to empty it out. Oh back in the day I had a box with hanging files and I used to file them by color and season. Well after time I accumulated way too many scraps so I came up with plan B.
Alright, here's what I created with those scraps.
