CF: Collaged Paper Hearts

Because Beth will be traveling,she asked me if I would be willing to take over hostessing. Same swap,just new hostess.

It's a great way to use some of our plentiful pretty paper scraps - you know the ones that us paper crafters just can seem to always throw away? LOL. Here's what to do:

Take a piece of card stock approximately 4x6 in size and randomly glue all sorts of different papers to it, overlapping the edges as you go (your papers can be decorative, printed with words, plain, sparkly, etc.). The idea here is not to worry about planning – just have fun with random papers. After you have completed this step, turn the cardstock over so you can't see the covered side. No peeking! Draw at least 2 hearts on it (taking into consideration you'll be using them on an ATC or card) and cut them out. You may also use punches or a die cutter. Turn them over and see how pretty they look with the collaged papers you chose. It's kind of like a surprise – you never know what you're going to get.

Take each of these hearts and use them to create 2 ATCs or cards, 1 for each of your 2 partners. Design is sender's choice. It could be as simple as gluing them to a solid color ATC base or a folded card. Further embellishing is optional. As you'll see in my example above, I added some bling.

On either the backs of the ATCs, or inside the cards, please add a scripture with the word "heart" in it. It can be printed off computer, stamped, handwritten, etc.
