Thrifty Thursday at MyCreativeTime

Hello bloggy friends! It's time for another Thrifty Thursday over at MyCreativeTime. This is the day when we all use up our scraps!  Today I used a bunch of scraps I had shoved in my Hello Luscious by Basic Grey paper pad. TIP: When you're going to paper piece, it's a great way to use up little bits of scraps. :) I also like to cut strips of scrap patterned paper to make my own designs. Super quick and easy. I stamped and paper pieced the hot air balloon from the Fly Away With Me set. There are also dies to go along with this set, but since my vagabond died, I cut the base out by hand. 
I stamped the greeting from the Fly Away With Me Sentiments and white heat embossed it. 

Pop over to MyCreativeTime to see more creations. :)

♥ Nikki ♥
