When you craft, do you end up with a pile of scraps? I know I do. I save these scraps, yes even the small ones, and I create master boards with them.
What is a master board? A master board is a collage of images. These images can be random or they can be created using one subject. It is totally up to you and what look you are trying to achieve.
What size is it? It can be any size you want. Most are made using 8-1/2x11 or 12x12 inch piece of paper or light cardboard.
How do you do it? You take your pile of paper scraps and pick out a piece randomly and glue it to the base (cardboard). Keep doing this until the base is completely covered. You can go back and add random pieces of ephemera if you choose.
What do you do with it? You can cut a master board down to create pockets, tags, bookmarks, belly bands, card fronts -- just about anything your creative mind can come up with.
How do I cut it down? There are two methods. You can have the design facing up and you can pick and choose what images you want on which piece of ephemera. Or, you can turn the blank side up and cut-a-way creating those tags, pockets, etc. and be pleasantly surprised by how they look when you turn them over. It is all how YOU want to do it. There is no right or wrong way.
Shown below is the last master board I made using the scraps left over from projects I made out of the Spring Collection Digital Kit by Paperomia.
