Paper Scraps

[tammyfolk]

How big does a paper scrap need to be before you decide to keep it instead of toss it? how do you store them?

[SusieQ]

I have a plastic box I keep them in . Some scraps are quite small, usually the small ones are papers I really liked

[LoriS]

I really need help in this area! I seem to save almost everything and they all get thrown in a box. I have been better lately about trying to use up scraps from layouts on cards or project life pages before I throw them in my scrap box, so that is helping!

[Jan Mosier]

Oh my gosh, I save scraps that most people would probably toss. I hate to waste anything. You would think I grew up in the depression. I will toss a sliver of paper but any bigger, I keep it. I have a serious problem. If it's part of a kit I will keep with the kit until the kit has been mostly used up. If it's not part of a kit I keep them in a small box that I forget about until I need a small pop of color for something. I keep telling myself I'm going to make cards or mini albums with them but I've yet to do so.

My scraps go into a bin that then is given to an Amish girl who uses them to make cards.

I don't have any scraps. I take the leftover pieces and make a card fronts till it's gone

If it is smaller than 3x3, it goes. With the Silhouette, I can use almost any scraps.

I'd say typically...1". But I can use that on my silhouette for tiny stuff...so now I'm a true hoarder...
