I have been having a ball today using my scraps. I literally stepped outside my box and tried this. I reached into my scrap drawer, took out a stack of scraps, sorted out a few that kind of matched... then I grabbed a piece of paper to use as background and just started building a layout including the mat for the photo. THEN I went to my photo box and found one to add to it. Absolutely opposite from my normal method. I like how it turned out. I need to add my journaling, but I was so excited, I forgot! lol Anyway, my scrap drawer is growing daily so I may use this method again, it was fun.
