I am a messy crafter, at least while a project is 'in the works'. I don't throw anything away until I am POSITIVE that I won't need even the smallest piece. Every scrap, every extra piece, every 'trial run mistake'.
I had just finished my VLVS projects for the month, (or at least I thought I had), and I was cleaning up my crafty disaster area, when I spied one of my trial run mistakes laying on top of my ink scrap. And I thought, 'Hey, I like how that looks'. Well one thing led to another, and BAM! I created a Mini Album. From clean-up to completed project in an hour.
Using all of the left over bits & pieces on my desk, I pieced together a fun little mini that will be used to keep memories of 'everyday' life.
Nothing was 're-created' for my pages. Every page was created using scraps, mistakes, or ink off bits. The only added embellishment was a strip of washi tape or two. :)
(Note: The base of some pages were included to 'hold' a picture or embellishment)
I am SO happy I didn't throw anything away. I love the random-ness, and eclectic feel the album has. It is a great compliment to the 'everyday life'.
Have you ever created a project using the scraps on your desk? Did you like how your project turned out? Please share your projects...I'd love to see them.

Wonderful mini! I am a big fan of keeping all of my extra bits too.
I totally love this and yes I save ever last bit til the end. Never thought of making it into a mini though . . . Great idea Tx
I absolutely LOVE this! Some of my favorite projects have been from leftover scraps. I absolutely adore your creativity with this mini. Thanks for being such a wonderful inspiration!
