Paper Scrap Art

I have often heard the phrase "remains of the day" in the art groups I belong to.  It is evidently a way of using up scraps of things.  I have not really paid much attention to it, but the phrase is rather catchy, don't you think?
So, I have a box or two sitting around in my studio rooms, and when ever I finish a project, I toss all the scraps and such into the boxes.  Lately, they have been very full!  So, since I seem to be in a sewing frenzy mode, I took one of the boxes to the sewing room.  I sorted through the papers, sewing them together in a random fashion.  Just stitched what ever came up next onto the piece on the machine.  I started with reds and when I ran out of that color I did blues.  I really kinda like the looks of the sheets of paper I ended up with.  I think I shall make something from them soon.  I just have to figure out what.  And I have lots more colors to work on if I get the sewing urge again, lol.

And, in the mail today, I received an altoid tin from the swap over in mmartfriends group.  Here is the tin, with it's beautiful embellishment, and all the goodies that were inside.  I am gonna love doing something with the vintage looking buttons, and the charms!
