 We are challenging you to use up your scraps from this kit on a layout or cards of your own. Two of our Master Forgers are here to show you what they have done. Master Forger JoJo I really enjoy using the last little pieces left in my kit but sometimes they just don't match together that great. If you cut them or punch them in smaller pieces, they actually  do look great together. I cut 2 x 2 squares, destress the edges and gave them some pen detail. Master Forger Julene I had 2 half sheets of very busy paper joined in the centre.  I did a triple mat with smaller scraps and ..read more
