Hi there! Today I’m sharing a card using some die cut scraps that I’ve had laying around. When I do reveal videos for Simon Says Stamp I often have several die cut samples left over in piles that just lay there for months. They are too pretty to throw away, but I often don’t take time to use them. Today I finally did it! I used my scraps. It makes you feel so nifty and thrifty, lol.
The blooms are from the Aurora Blooms die set. This is such a gorgeous floral die set. I also had a couple of leaf die cuts from the Leafy Sprig that worked perfectly. I used a couple of enamel dots for the centers. For the frame I used a die cut from the Daisy Oval Frame. For the sentiment I embossed the “miss you” in gold onto white from the CZ Hi There Greetings.
I love how this came together from leftovers. Somehow it makes me feel like I’ve just saved money. Should I go buy myself something know, ha ha. Isn’t that what they call “girl math”? That’s what my daughters tell me. I need an interpreter! Thanks so much for stopping by!

It would be true as I was out of commission for 8 months last year. I broke my elbow in Feb and I was off for 4. Then in July I fell on the only small wet patch in our elevator at work. Tried working for a month, then I got hit with a chair in right ankle and ended up with a terrible sprain in August – so between the two injuries and physio that was supposed to be helping it was and it wasn’t. I was off another 4 months. That knee will never be the same! My fight continues with Work Safe. I retire in November and I am counting the days. 212 left and I work only 110 of those!
