Scrappy Thank You Cards from brown paper bag handles & paper scraps 

Thank you Molly! Careful what you wish for; I'm about to overdose you on videos while I make a journal lol 😄🩵💚

​@@BonnyAndCliveI can't wait !!! 🎉🎉🎉

@@mollymouse4900 🥰🥰

@@BonnyAndClive Oh yeah, I can‘t catch up!😅

hahahaha don't worry, I can't keep up uploading! lol. I'm beginning to wonder how channels can manage to upload videos every day and keep the house clean lol. And I've only uploaded 5 days in a row so far! 😂😂😂😂

Thank you Julie! My next batch of thank you cards will be even more scrappy lol. I just used what was on my desk this time, but next time I will be shoving some of that never ending junk mail in aswell. I used to try to use it all but there is just too much lol 😄🩵💚

@@BonnyAndClive that’s so true, I’m practically drowning in paper scraps.

@@greenmacaroni8872 Next weekend I'm going to gelli print a pile of my junk papers 😄🩵💚

No videos for a month then I overdose you all lol. I'm working on a cooking journal and finally filming my chaotic process lol. 😆😂🩵🩵

Aww thank you Carrie; you're so sweet! I don't buy anything new other than glue, ink and paint so everything and anything becomes crafting materials lol. I love trying to find a use for it all! 😆🩵💚

Took me a while! lol 😄🩵

Thank you Barbara! I still need to come up with more ways of using those paper bag handles lol. I have way too many! 😄🩵💚

Ahhh yes yes I can picture that! Great idea to use them as they are, especially now they are putting glue in the middle and making them harder to unravel 😄💙

Thanks Kristina! Now to come up with some more ways to use the handles without having to unravel them lol. 😄💚💚

Thank you Lucy! They would definitely make great journal toppers! Lots of grungy dyed fabric and lace with some burlap! 🥰🥰

Hehe Kate I have soooo many sewing maching threads. I might make that my next ##useittilitsgone challenge lol 😆🩵

Thank you Marja! Glad to find a use for some of those brown paper bag handles! 😄🩵💚

Thank you so much! I tried to make them "wonky" hearts but sometimes they go a bit too wonky! lol. I also made some smaller ones for tiny journal covers which I will show in another video soon. I think they tiny hearts look super cute! So glad to be able to put some of the paper bag handles to use. Now I need to come up with some more projects to use the rest of them lol. Thank you so much for stopping by!! 😊💚💚

Yeh flat one definitely not as cute lol. 😆🩵🩵

Hi hi Rhonda! Yay I am so glad you like them! I know they are a bit crazy for cards, but I just love scrappy and recycled, so I am super happy you do too lol. Those brown paper bags handles have been driving me crazy. I usually unravel them and use the crumpled paper to make embellishments, but I am a bit sick of unravelling them so I need to come up with some more ways to use them as they are lol. Ohhh, actual card bases would be nice, but the only cardboard I have is cereal boxes etc so I cheated and made them a single page card lol. 😊💚💙

Thank you lovely Lena! 🙂🩵🩷

Hahaha yeh the flat one was not to my liking lol. Ohhh wire sounds great! Gold too....you're so fancy! 😜 The only thing I thought of wrapping on them was sewing machine threads, but I must confess I was too lazy lol 😂😂💛❤️

@@BonnyAndClive I used to be a floral designer, so have a bunch of wire.... somewhere, 😁 gold was all I could find. I know the green rusts, just need to figure out where I put it, probably still in the garage with all my floral stuff. I watched a video on dying, and she added vinegar to some dye, copper wire to another container to see the color differences she'd get. Someone suggested taking apart old cords for the copper in it, mhm, so much for donating that bag to the church resale shop, lol.😆 Well, I should be outside mowing some of the lawn, but it's supposed to rain again either tonight or tomorrow, rained last night again, getting pretty tired of it, so on to trying out some other craft stuff I watched. I'm considering doing my entire yard like an English country garden, overgrown grasses filled with native flowers, mhm, sounds like a plan, lol. 🌿🌷🌱🌻🌿

Haha funny you mention re-using old cooper wire! I do that too! I think I showed my bag of scavenged wire in a video showing some chunky beads I made ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-55Hhgcbey1U.html I used scavenged wire to make the eyepins and also to wrap the beads lol. You will have to go dig out that bag or florists wire from the garage because now I am in the mood to make beads! lol. Ohhh English cottage garden sounds so lovely, and would go so nice with a pond! 🙂💚🌼🌻🌼🌻

I love the copper wire best' looks so nice. Now you will have to go dig out that florists wire from the garage because now I feel like making beads! lol. Ohhh English garden sounds so nice, and would be awesome with a pond! 💚🌼🌻🌼🌻

Well some of them! lol. I still need to come up with some more ideas to use up more handles as I have 3 bags of them 😂 😂🩵

Thank you Liz! I'm glad to use up a few paper bag handles; they're breeding! lol 😆🩵💚

😝 not again!! It seems we're always breeding scraps!!😂

I know right! lol. And today, I STILL carried two cute food packaging boxes from my kitchen into my craft room, even though I complsin have too much food packaging cardboard to use up lol. We just can't help ourselves but keep adding to our hoard lol 😂🩷🩵

😂yes I'm constantly saving paper bags and cardboard food boxes!! I need to cull my stash For sure!!

Me too lol 😂💚

Ohhh string and beads would look lovely! And they would make really nice journal cover toppers too! 😃🩷🩵
