Scrap Your Crap...April Challenge

This month's  Challenge #64  at Scrap Your Crap is to use PAPER Only! Now, I know all of you have PAPER in your stash. So, bring out those sheets & create something.

I rarely make cards, but had left over Fancy Pants It's the Little Things paper. I cut out words & birds to create this card.

We'd love to see what you come up with using Paper Only!
