Using Leftover Letters and Numbers

Just popping by quickly today to show you how I use up my leftover letters and numbers. I always have so many of those odd letters and numbers hanging around and ohhhhhhhhhhh I do not like having waste ........lol.

Using these leftovers as your background paper can make really effective "Back to School" or "Good Luck in your Exam" cards. This card is just a quickly made basic sample to give you and idea of what to do. From a simple basic card like this you can jazz it up with sponging, distressing, mixing tones and the list goes on!

So go on, dig into those old bits and pieces hanging around and use em up baby!

Happy Crafting Everyone  :)

  6. What a great idea, nothing more frustrating than having letters that don't actually spell anything, but excellent to use as a background. I'm now following you! (Makes me sound like a stalker lol)
