Using it up.......

Hey it's Leo and today I'm writing about using up little bits of leftovers from our kits. The newest Quirky Kit is out now, I have a bag full of goodies from it behind me sitting waiting to be played with right now. Before I went for them I noticed the baggy of leftovers from other Quirky Kits and it got me thinking. This past couple of months I've been following the mantra of waste not want not concerning leftover crafting supplies and here I am going to start on a fresh new load of goodies while still having a bag of goodies from older kits sitting on the shelf. So I decided there and then to use up these little bits and pieces first before I started on the new kit. Maybe you have some of these same bits and pieces remaining from other kits too to use up?
The best thing about using leftovers is for me that they focus you more on the creativity part of crafting. All the items are out in front of you already so there's no thinking what goes with what, it's more about how can I use this piece of paper in a different way. Anyway I'll get on to the projects I came up with.....

Here's what was in my Quirky Kits leftovers baggy.....

and here's what I made..........

I went with the idea of layers. You can use even the smallest scrap pieces of paper and build them up and up! I used straight edged shapes on the layout just cutting rectangles roughly with scissors and inking around the edges. With the notecards I went for circles starting with a brad or a button and then cutting around and around and around leaving a small layer on each time. As well as the papers I used some of the fabric and netting to create more texture. See what you can come up with using your mixed up Quirky Kit and/or card kit leftovers!
Happy crafting
