does anyone here make these? use these? Ive done some.. but have no clue what im doing.. and what to do with them when im done.. I just finished a boy theme.. has grasshoppers... trains.. cars.. baseball gloves.. that kinda thing.. looks neat i think.. now what??? any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated Thanks



Barb made Serendipity saquares and used them on the title of some recipe pages a while back. They were sooooo cool! S

umm well.. its kinda a cluttery mess... ya glue scraps and anything you can glue down on a sheet of paper.. then you cut them into squares or what ever shape youd like.. I can scan some and show if anyone would like to see.. I did my first for the PP swap.. and totally did this one diff.. just seeing if it would work..

Yes I'd love to see pictures, because I still don't really know what you're talking about. Kind of cutting out shapes out of a hand made collage paper? Sounds interesting.

Someone in my PP swaps group used them in some of her pp and I was really impressed! Insteat of cutting them into squares ,she cut the pattern from them . It is very cool.

I went to all the pages that Patty sent and I love this type of thing. I believe I will do some of it today. Irene/Fl

Finally something to do with all of the scrap paper that I couldn't bring myself to throw out. I can see making homemade paper like this too! Soni

Got it at the LSS and its made by .. umm Eksuccess.. I havent seen it at hobby lobby.. Only online and at the LSS... I can make a trip and see if they still have them if you want? Let me know

I keep all my scraps too!!! I use them to actually make handmade paper.. use them for my punches.. and use them for tons of other things.. see trash can be good!

I made some serendipity tags for a swap once. I used up an entire two in one glue pen filling up the page. They turned out real nice though. I mixed various solids ands patterns in shades of green. So what are you doing Mindi, just making the paper w/ scraps out boredom? I mean, it never would've occured to me to do anything unless I already had a specific goal in mind. Good for you for getting ahead!

I had all those scraps left over from working on the 2 CJs.. and they were on the floor.. so I sat down and just started glueing.. I guess I didnt wanna clean up! lol I have no plans for them.. more then likely.. just throw them away
