Inspired by … My Messy Desk

I think we all know by now that I am crazy about using up my scraps. And that my desk is usually a big fat mess of scraps and tools and ephemera.

Every so often I clean it off. I gather my little pile and challenge myself to use up at least half of it. (The rest I give to a friend or donate to a women’s shelter for art projects.)

Check it out:

This silhouette image (from Technique Tuesday) always makes me smile. Such exuberance! The speckled background is a leftover piece from another, long forgotten play time with color misting. The sentiment is an old one from Hero Arts.

Another leftover background … I believe it was made using alcohol inks. Images from Hero Arts.

Note: Just because these images are discontinued, don’t be discouraged! Substitute a similar image from your own stash!

Thanks for popping in!
