Chris's Wednesday "Belli Challenge" - Scraps

This week's "Belli Challenge" on www.chrissyd723.blogspot.com is scraps - what do you do with all of your left overs?  I learned this technique on the Stampin' Up cruise that I just got back from and this gave me a good excuse to try it. First you lay all of your little scraps of card-stock on the sticky side of sticker paper the you can just get at a office supply store.  Then you sprinkle embossing powder over the top and shake off the excess.  The embossing powder will stick to the sticky part of the sticker paper.  I found that the metallic embossing powder worked a lot better than the non-metallic.  Then you heat it with your embossing tool.  I used Not Quite Navy Card-stock and Ink, Blue Bayou Card-stock, Soft Sky Card-stock, Silver Embossing Powder and Brads, Phrases for a Fried Stamp Set (From the Occasions Mini Catalog) and White Taffeta Ribbon.  To see more great ideas for using scraps, go to Chris's web-site.
