Yesterday I posted a Reel showing the cards I finished after my last YouTube live. But really, this story begins 12 years ago, when I made a video using papers from a coordinating paper pad. There were lots of leftovers. Then I used that paper pad to make Christmas cards ... more leftovers. When I moved paper pads into my office, I realised how many scraps were in the front of this particular one, and 3 months ago I decided to use them up, and record the process. I'm not talking about using the whole paper pad, just the scraps, but I've done 1 Facebook live, 2 YouTube lives and one pre-recorded YT video, but the leftovers persist! Before I tackle the last of the scraps, I thought I should finish the last batch of cards from my live. Thankfully it was a quick task with these cute little peeking bears (Tracey Hey, Teacup Treasures stamp set) and some pre-printed/cut sentiments. I'm determined to use the last of the paper in just one more live, but for now, I'm crushing on these cuties. I'll link to the videos in question for you (the YouTube live has disappeared, but the pre-recorded video is a remake:
