So glad

 Happy Wednesday!!  It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps.  This week is a favorite for me: Use Up Your Fall Scraps!

And here is the card I created:

If you have visited my blog much at all, you probably know that using up scraps is perhaps my favorite thing to do while card making!!  There's something so satisfying about using something left over from something else.  My card today is quite similar to last weeks as I still had the same elements sitting on my desk.  I started with my tag.  Die cut the tag shape out of ugly scrap card stock (you know, the thin flimsy stuff in rather hideous colors that you got for a really good price and now you know why!), add adhesive and adhere the strips of scrap patterned paper to the tag.  Mine were already cut to these heights, I just had to trim off the width that overhung the tag edges.  The pumpkin (to which I added a little shading with markers), the little greenery sprigs and the die cut leaves were in my bits and pieces stash from a project I made with some Sunday School kids at church probably 3 years ago.  I have a TON of the "thanks" die cuts in my bits an pieces stash.  I have a ton because I was planning to use them on Thanksgiving place settings last year and then ended up receiving a different die at the last minute that I wanted to use instead.  The red paper was also a scrap, I just trimmed it to the correct height and the sentiment strip was die cut from a piece of scrap card stock.  The twine, sequins and card base were the only items not left over from something else!
