I made my last page using two collections from Cocoa Vanilla Studio, Daydream and These Days, which I've always stored together as they mix and match quite well. While making that page, I realised just how little I had left, so I decided to make a 'Starting Point' page to use the rest up. That's a term I've pinched from Shimelle Laine for a page I start with no photos in mind, and return later to finish it off. I have a little bundle of these, but I do generally come back to them sooner or later.
I had a few larger scraps but no 12x12 pieces left so I pulled in a piece of Bazzill cardstock for my background. My largest scraps were the floral and the stripe; after shuffling them around with some of the smaller pieces, I placed them vertically with two scallop print pieces between them to form a third column. I overlapped two smaller scraps for a photo mat, imagining either a 4x6 or two 3x4 photos in the space and fussy-cut a floral piece to sit on the right-hand side. Finally, I took all the smallest scraps, die-cut a pile of tags and tucked them in a line between the scalloped and striped papers. I still have a few pieces left from a cut-apart sheet; I'll either add them to the page when I choose the photos or keep the labels and bin the others.
And I also had only a few pieces left from Storyteller so I decided to finish that off too. With no 12x12 sheets left, I used a cardstock background again and filled it with a collage of the largest scraps. I layered a strip of hearts at the top and three branding strips over the bottom part. I chose the yellow to be my photo mat and tucked a few strips in on either side. I fussy-cut the camera which I will definitely use and I have some labels and a journalling card left, some of which I will use if I can once I have the photos.
I'll leave links here to the finished pages once I have made them:
