Are you a keeper of scraps? If so, you're probably looking for ways to use even the smallest scraps on your scrapbook pages. One of the best ways to ensure you'll use your scraps in the future is to take a little time here and there to prepare your scraps for scrapping. Cut them into strips, punch small extras into shapes, cut larger blocks into squares, and store them in plain sight.
