Don't Throwaway Scraps Thursday #7 on 15 May 2025

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity Blog!

why: it's been about 2 weeks since I've had a chance to make a scraps card for my DTST personal series! Part of the issue was 4 days spent working on sorting through 'stuff' still remaining at my mom's place. My out-of-state sister was here, so she took another car load to her home. Lots got donated in 2 trips last week and 1 trip yesterday. Some stuff got burned. (farm) Some stuff brought into town to our trash bin. And some more stuff came to my crowded little house! sigh....The scrap strips for this card had been weaved together last week but that was as far as it got. 

Last night I taped the underside joints/crossovers and then used a lot of dual-sided adhesive tape strips to get this secured to the square base. The outlining of the strips was also done last night. Then this evening, I added the ephemera and word stickers. 

when: DTST #7 will be published on Thursday May 15, 2025.
