Patchwork

I was determined to find some crafty time today. I find it is so easy to get engrossed in techie stuff like blogs, Facebook, Twitter and e-mails, that suddenly an hour or two have passed by unnoticed and it's time to move on to do something else that isn't crafting.
Well I decided to attack the scraps box. I began with an ideas if making a patchwork effect card.

It was fiddly and I didn't like it!! I changed the embellishment.

I still didn't like it that much!! So I decided to create the effect using woven paper strips.
I like this one more. The only problem is that in cutting the strips I'm left with even more scraps as I can't use the small bits I originally intended!!
