for the love of scraps ( SOS # 101 )

Last week I made a quilt. One of the things I do when I make a quilt is fiddle around with the scraps. But this time I didn't have time for fiddling. I was up against a deadline.  But when I was finished those scraps were calling my name.    I played around with them thinking I would make a mug rug or a small purse. I couldn't decide so I set them aside .....I did not put them away.....I just set them aside.

Then an idea came to me in the form of one of my favorite challenges. The gals at "Shopping our Stash" asked us to make something using scraps.
                            Were they reading my mind?   
                                                             
                                              How did they know?
 
So I was off and running with my decision to make a card with my scraps.

The Salvage edge of quilt fabric always has the name of the line atnd he designer etc...on it.
So of course I wanted to use the "love lives here" words on my card.

Lots of layering and fussy cutting

and

lots of fabric glue too.

And those who know me know that I usually carry the design to the inside of my cards too.

I am going to have to make a matching envelope too. This card measures 8"x 6".

I saved a flower and a few snippets for an envelope.

I had a lot of fun playing with Shopping our Stash
