I really love how you didn't go gluing things down even if you liked its placement because you later found better options. It turned out beautiful.

[@CreatedByGwen]

Thanks so much! Yes, I rarely glue anything down until the very end because I always want to keep my options open 💗

[@helenbudz3966]

Enjoyed watching you layout your paper pieces and embellishments, especially the scrapbook page. tfs

[@CreatedByGwen]

So glad you enjoyed this! 🎀

[@--JoJo--]

Great idea! Love how the two projects turned out. I need to give this a try.

[@CreatedByGwen]

Please do! I'd love to see what you make Jo 🥰

[@denisejames855]

I love both of these. I don't know why I haven't thought of this myself as I use scraps and stitch them for my junk journals, just as you mentioned. I will now think about using some for cards and layouts. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@CreatedByGwen]

So glad you enjoyed this Denise! 🌿

[@j9cardstock354]

Gwen, you did a great job with creating patchwork pieces. Beautiful projects too. So clever! Jeannine

[@CreatedByGwen]

Thank you so much Jeannine!

[@frannypannyatpawsnpaints]

Great idea! I'm looking forward to day 2. I might join you in this challenge... If I'm forced to throw something away I'll certainly find a way to use it lol

[@CreatedByGwen]

YASS!! Amazing how creative we can be if there is a challenge involved 🤣

[@collettemendenhall8058]

I love how you make things very simple to recreate but they are simply elegant when you’re done. Beautiful beautiful. Tfs, til next time!!!!

[@CreatedByGwen]

Thanks so much 😊 So glad you are enjoying this series xo

[@sandyjustian7873]

I love the patchwork quilt idea! I have used scraps to cut strips and place them diagonally on paper for layouts and cards, but this will allow me to be even more creative! I have been traveling in a small camper since the end of December. I have produced A LOT of scraps while scrapbooking with even the limited supplies I have with me. This process will allow me to stretch my limited supplies even further. Can’t wait to see your next project.

[@CreatedByGwen]

Thanks so much! So glad this idea is something that will help stretch your creativity even further 🥰

[@mareekerwin]

I love, love, love your beautiful layout and card. The patch work idea is such a clever way to use up those pieces. I am sure all of us crafter have many pieces of leftovers. I actually love patchwork designs. They can look so interesting and make beautiful backgrounds. Getting clusters just right certainly can be a challenge. I find sometimes something will go together easily and other times it can be lots of trial and error. Bows are the best aren’t they. They always add that little something extra to a layout or card. Thank you so very much for another wonderful and cheerful video. I loved watching these projects take shape. I am very excited to see how your challenge goes. I am sure you will come up with more wonderful ways to use up those pieces.😃❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@CreatedByGwen]

Thank you so much Maree, I really enjoyed putting the paper patch work together. So fun! I'm sure you're going to love this series, hopefully lots of ideas for your scraps.

[@bdebsing]

Love this idea!😍😍😍

[@CreatedByGwen]

Thank you!! 😊 So glad you enjoyed this 🎀

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Hi Gwen, love the idea of your scrap challenge ... and I've got to hand it to you, you've made a great start. I always love to see how you put all the bits and pieces together to kickstart your projects -- great job! Thanks so much. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊

[@CreatedByGwen]

Awww Thanks Brenda!! So glad you are enjoying this so far. 🐨

[@jenniferoja9566]

This is a fun challenge! I just went through my small scraps and used die cuts so I have them at the ready on my desk. I went through the scraps by colour and got some inspiration when I saw the die cuts all together.

[@CreatedByGwen]

So glad you are enjoying it so far 🥰 I need to get my scraps in order, they are all just sorted by manufacturer, so all of the Maggie ones are in together, then all of the Pink Fresh etc.

[@trueblue9898]

A fantastic idea as always!!! I have so many scraps and little pieces, can’t wait to use them all

[@CreatedByGwen]

You're going to love this series! I have a bunch of ideas just for the little pieces, just wait! 🎀

[@raeraesma]

Wow, you are amazing, Gwen! Your layout is stunning! I can’t say enough, how much I appreciate you sharing another fantastic series. I’m looking forward to seeing what else you create. 😊

[@CreatedByGwen]

Thank you so much lovely! (You're too kind) 🌷

[@jesseb5112]

Masterboards are fun! I love the way you did this!!

[@CreatedByGwen]

Ok... so this is a 'thing' and they have a name?? 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ That's me running off to google it! Glad you found the video fun :) xo

[@CreatedByGwen]

OMG, it is a THING!! It's called a Masterboard... well there you have it... the one new thing I learned today. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@jesseb5112]

@@CreatedByGwen I love the way you approached yours. I have had mixed results. I don't use a lot of patterned paper, so my scraps can be VERY random. I will need to make a new one AFTER sorting scraps and pulling things that will coordinate better.

[@jesseb5112]

@CreatedByGwen Some people also call them "frankenpaper", but masterboard is a more popular term.

[@judibradshaw1948]

Fabulous projects! Awesome use of your scraps!😊

[@CreatedByGwen]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@HandmadeHavenAu]

I love this idea. I have a couple of drawers of scraps that I kept for the kids to use but they rarely dig in these days, so I might have to!

[@CreatedByGwen]

Thanks lovely!! Now would be a great time to pull them out 🫶

[@karenbeldon4417]

I love the gold / vellum ephemera Gwen! Yum!

[@CreatedByGwen]

It is such a pretty shade of gold, I wish I had 2 packets now 🤣

[@mandy.austin]

@@CreatedByGwen i am not even gong to ask where they came from in case I get tempted to buy them

[@jupu9608]

Great idea! Already love this new challenge/ series!

[@CreatedByGwen]

Yay, thank you! 🎉

[@juliecurtis9517]

I don't scrapbook so Im really glad you did a card...its gorgeous!

[@CreatedByGwen]

You're going to love this series Julie!! I have quite a few cards planned, especially for Day 3 and Day 5 so stay tuned for those 💗

[@juliecurtis9517]

I can't wait. I take ideas from your scrapbooking pages and always add them to my cards. Lord knows...I have loads of scraps lol

[@CreatedByGwen]

I love that you adapt the ideas and put them onto your cards, that's so fun!

[@rhondahunt9888]

Love the scrapbook page!

[@CreatedByGwen]

Thank you so so much!

[@rainiernst9404]

Lovely layout…no pun intended!

[@CreatedByGwen]

Thank you!!! 🤣 I do love a good pun!

[@CelineS-wd5np]

Hello Gwen, i'm in France and i find your English so pleasantly easy to understand. Which country are you from ? Have a nice day !

[@CreatedByGwen]

Hello Celine! Thank you so so much for your kind message. I'm from Australia :) 🦘

[@honeycruz4692]

I really like this idea. Love both the page and card although I feel like the page layout got almost completely covered. You can appreciate the patch work much better on the card.

[@CreatedByGwen]

Thanks! Yes, you do loose some of the patchwork when you add photos and embellishments and you don't have to go as 'heavy' with those as I did here, it's just my style. I kept the card really clean so you could see how it would look both ways and you're right, the patchwork shows up a lot more on it that way.

[@annearchbold6127]

Use the ugly paper to make envelopes (with the pattern on the inside).

[@CreatedByGwen]

This is a great idea 🫶

[@marthastrayton]

Been doing this for years! Very popular!!❤❤❤

[@CreatedByGwen]

@@marthastrayton I'm sure I've done it too at some stage... sometimes the busy prints look better on the inside of an envelope so I choose them on purpose.

Thanks for popping by today.

[@BarbaraPruitt-hh2hl]

I don't have any scraps I use everything I found things for free everywhere I go, I say if it's free it's for me

[@CreatedByGwen]

lolol... I love that!

[@kadderkatch-vl3hh]

I’ve found that Velum softens bright or ugly paper….

[@CreatedByGwen]

It does!! I've used that idea a bunch before, I really love the look.

[@juliecurtis9517]

Your daughter its beautiful!

[@CreatedByGwen]

Thank you so so much!! She is isn't she??
