This is for WT723 to make a resolution regarding our card making. I am the worst about pulling out brand new pieces of cardstock to use on projects rather than going through my very, very large assortment of leftover cardstock. What's even worse is that I don't store in an organized way so it is easy to sort through to find the color I need but rather toss it in a bin never to be seen again. After a while my leftover paper gets so terrible and overwhelming that I get tempted to throw it away and start over. So for my project today I used all paper that was already in my bin or on my desk. I have to admit it that I hate taking the time to sort it by color to make it easier. It just takes time away from making something new. I wonder if there is a support group out there that could help me. Hello....I am Kittie and I am a "new cardstock-a-holic".
You can see more details about my project on my blog post at Kittie Kraft.

Ha, I'm the opposite. I have four plastic bags in a box beside the desk, and all my Bazzill and Core-dinations scraps go in there. I think I used to be in your camp way back when I first started die-cutting, and then realised that I had so many partial sheets and needed to use them. I'm listening to the birds chirping right now but it's a cold, frosty day and your Spring scene is such a treat to see.

What a gorgeous use of left over card stock, Kittie! I use large zip lock baggies...one for each color group. Left-overs go into the correct color baggie. Its much easier to find the shade I need.

Your card is beautiful and your post is funny. I decorated a basket many years ago for scraps and put each by color in zip lock bags in the basket. Guess what? I rarely use them...like you, pull out new pieces. :rolleyes:

Hi, Kittie...I'm Jean and I have the same addiction, plus a few more. Good for you, this creation is stunning. But yours are always stunning, no need to resolve on that.

Another awesome card that was made with leftover cardstock! Kittie, I have the same problem about pulling out new sheets of cardstock. But I probably won't change. LOL Love the beautiful cardinals on your card!

Hi, I’m Jen, and I always reach for new cardstock. LOL! I’ve been trying to use my scraps too, Kittie, but I have the same problem—it’s so hard to find exactly what you want! And that’s why I’m so impressed that you were able to use your scraps for this beauty! Awesome!

Your cards always make me smile....the details are like no other stamper. Lovely scene with the tiny, tiny flowers and sweet birds. The shading of the flower pots make them pop. Love it. TFS
