Scraplings

I was so sorry to miss the Hero Arts Flickr Group scramble #78 last night, but I couldn't stay awake. Martha was hosting it, and her theme was Scraplings with layers. (Sue McGrae, aka Stampin Sue, had run scramble 17 with a Scrapling theme; and the word came from Shari Carroll who commented “It thrills me to pieces to see they are still being called Scraplings, way back when I named them, I didn't know what else to call them... they were scraps and darling, so I combined the words and Viola!” )

What is a Scrapling? (written by Stampin Sue)

The idea came about by trying to use up all the scraps we have in cardmaking. Specifically when you take a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card and cut off a piece to make a square greeting card you are left with a piece that is 1 1/2" x 4 1/4". With this piece and other "scraps" you have lying around you make a "mini" card. The size of the Scrapling is not written in stone, it is really a small or mini-sized version of a normal greeting card.

I think these would make wonderful bookmarks too. Could stick a piece of Magnetic strip on the back, and a metal circle on the back of the front. 

Here is my first one using one of the die cuts I made yesterday.

And my second, which I will also enter into the Moxie Fab World Happy for Hexagon Challenge, and the Retrosketch Challenge.
