OH How I Have Loved You......

 Oh How I Love You...

Beautiful Graphic 45 Once Upon A Springtime...
SO...
if you came from Donna's Blog you are at the end of the Hoarders Hop...
AND....
I am going to share with you my love of Once Upon a Springtime.

 I have hoarded the last of the tiny remnants of paper and cover from the Once Upon A Springtime...

BUT....

Now it is time to use it.

 I used Core'dinations paper that goes with the Graphic 45 collections/

I created mats for my paper pad cover, small scraps of pattern paper and tag. 

Layering them on card front. 

I added a die cut using a piece of the pattern paper and tucked it under the tag.

 Add a few of the journal embellishment tags and brads to the front of the card.

 Along with a pretty bow.

 Well....my beautiful Once Upon a Springtime....

What should I do with these bits of scraps?

I tried so hard to use you up!!!

 I hope I have inspired you to look through your hoards of scraps and maybe create a beautiful card with some. 

Now on to using the rest in a tag or maybe another card. 

Make sure to take time to check out all of the Hoarders Design Team projects since we will be taking a summer break. 

See you in the Fall!!!

Hugs Pam
