Aimee here, sharing a colorful layout using scraps.

Have you ever noticed the strips at the bottom of 12x12 papers? You know where the barcode is and the name of the paper. Some manufacturers even include a little sneak of the paper on the back side. Well, these are my favorite!

For this layout, I used almost ALL of those strips from the papers of the “Tiki, I love you” kit.

This is really the easiest thing! You just trim them off the 12x12 paper. Some of the papers have a design on both sides. So of course, you need to use both. But now that I have attached them all to my paper I can’t tell you the names of the paper {head plant into hand}.

After I had all the strips cut I placed them on my paper and staggered them. I adhered them and then stitched them on to my paper for added dimension.

I matted my 4x6 photo and then used foam adhesive to pop the photo off the page. I then used some tin foam adhesive to adhere the heart and word summer onto the photo.

I love how I was able to create my own background from something we typically throw away.

This is truly scrapbooking! Isn’t this an awesome idea to get another layout out and stretch your kit to the max!

Do you use these strips?

XOXO Aimee
