Cuttlebug Spot Challenge - Leftovers

***This challenge goes live today***

After last fortnight's 'Turkey' themed challenge, this time at the Cuttlebug Spot, we are challenging you to use your:

'Leftovers'

(Not literally the leftovers of your Thanksgiving dinner, but rather those little scraps and snippets of papers and card that you just couldn't bear to throw away)

I'm a terrible hoarder of paper scraps and have boxes of little pieces and paper stacks that no longer have any full size pieces in, but instead are full of little offcuts saved because you never know when they might come in handy! Here are the remains of  my 'Ooh La La (for Him)' collection by My Mind's Eye:

These started life as 12x12 papers, but now there's nothing left that's bigger than about 5 inches, and most bits are much smaller...so I did what I often do when I ponly have little pieces left, which is to make a sort of patchwork effect backing - great for using uneven sized scraps. I distressed the edges, and added faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a white gel pen. The image is from the 'Micey Day' set by Penny Black, coloured using watercolour pencils...the sentiment is also from the same set. I made the 'daisies' using my Tim Holtz 'Tattered Florals' die and BasicGrey brads for the centres.

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

• Card Makin' Mamas - Sentiments 
• Jules' Snippet Challenge - Week 47
• Stamp with Fun - 'Faux' (Mine's faux stitching)
• Sweet Stampin' - Punches & Dies (I used my Tattered Florals die)

For more inspiration, please pop over to the Cuttlebug Spot...I just know that my lovely DT buddies will have come up with some wonderful projects this week!
