Scrappy Saturday

Today is the first post for "Scrappy Saturday". It's an idea I came up with this past week, where on Saturday I'd post a project that is made using up scraps that I have in my stamp room. I don't know about you, but I always have scraps of paper, stamped pieces that I didn't end up using in a project, and so forth. Anyway, here is todays project: The flowers are from the stamp set Fabulous Florets, #123023 [w], #123027 [c].

To make the flower, use the Daisies #2 die and Vintage brads. Colors used are Baja Breeze, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Basic Black This next card is a case from another talented Stampin' Up! demonstrator but I can't remember their name. The layout is super simple, and easily adaptable to other papers. This last project is a small gift bag, using a small lunch sack (purchased at most...
