mini how to...

Ok - so normally, I don't feel I have much to share "how to" wise with you guys - but today, by accident, I came across a cool thing.. if you already do this please ignore, but for those who scrap 8.5x11 and fancy something different, then this may be right up your proverbial street.

So, I needed an image of note book paper for something digital recently, so I scanned in a sheet from a note book - and just so happened to have a A4 sheet of kraft in the printer to grab and use as a background. Well, long story short... I accidentally hit the COPY button with my giant toe whilst fumbling around the desk today - and it started printing what was in the scanner bed.
I had a stack of kraft in the actual printer from printing "little Musings" for folksy.. so at first I was like "Oh geez.. a perfectly good bit of kraft wasted" but out the printer emerged a cool replica of the note book paper on the kraft!
Cool huh!
I scrapped a layout on it.. but its a bit "mopey" so I won't put you through it lol! But seriously, go and get some cool stuff to copy right now! I am thinking... butterflies, keys, a page from a novel, etc etc etc...... Enjoy!

For mine you will need 2 x A4 kraft and one sheet of note book paper...

and a scanner which can copy - one of those all in ones...

So put the note paper in the flatbed scanner, with a kraft sheet on top to act as background. ... and then just hit "COPY"....Trim the edges off.. and you have a cool sheet of "almost" 8.5x11 to scrap! If you are religious about scrapping the correct size, then just mount it onto some white cardstock when you are done. xx
