A lot of times, though, I'll take that big strip that I just cut from the 12x12 sheet to make it 8.5x11 and I'll make a card out of it. I don't always finish the card right away, but I always fold the cardstock or paper to the side if I know I won't be using it again on a layout and let it sit in a little basket until I need to make a card.
Lately, I've been making the card to coordinate a recent layout, and that is saving me a HUGE amount of time. And dudettes...I'm all about that lately.
Check it out:
So here's a layout that I made with the kit you guys just bought
(here's the peek part)
and the coordinating card!
Give it a try next time you scrap...
before you know it, you'll have a card ready whenever you need one!

Great idea Colleen! Love the layout and the card and being a lover of coffee - I love the picture, must capture that at my fav coffee spot!
very cute! the card took me a minute. i glanced at the letters and i'm like, "ho la"? what? then i looked at the como esta part and said, "duh!". too funny!
Great layout and card!! I try and do the same thing...make a card when I'm done with a layout! I love the sentiment on your card!
