A fun use for those kit scraps is to make bookmarks. My little granddaughter loves using these in her books as well as I do.

First you need an 8.5 in. long x 2 in. piece of cardstock to use as a base. Then, you will cute 2 pieces the same size for the front and the back out of your choice of patterned papers. Next, I added the smaller leftover scraps and torn one piece and used a border punch on another. Just fit these on your bookmark as you would like. After inking all the edges and glueing everything down I pulled out my leftover embellishments and started placing those. Inked a chipboard flourish and some alphas. Then, pulled some other small alphas from my stash. After it’s finished I placed it in the plastic cover and added some leftover ribbon at the top.

I hope you’ll find some great uses for all the wonderful kit scraps. I can’t bare to throw any little scrap away!

(Sorry, there’s a glare as I already put it in the plastic cover before scanning.)
