Don’t Toss Your Extras – Do THIS!

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Got leftover pieces from your Stampin’ Up! kit? Don’t toss them—do this instead.

In today’s post, I’m sharing a creative and meaningful way to use those extra kit elements in a 12×12 Fall Wreath Scrapbook Layout. This project is not just about saving supplies—it’s about creating something beautiful you’ll actually want to display.

Whether you’re a scrapbooker, a seasonal decor lover, or just looking for a smart way to stretch your kit, this layout hits all the right notes.


Why This Layout Works

This project is built around three core design techniques:

  1. The Visual Triangle – to guide the eye and create balance
  2. Clustered Embellishments – to add interest without overwhelming your photos
  3. Mini Banner Accent – for that perfect touch of charm and cohesion

The result? A layout that feels full, finished, and fall-ready—using what you already have.
