Do you use your punches and punch things out of the mat/paper (before your mat your photos)?

Do you not put the ribbon all the way under the WHOLE picture?

No. I really don't use what few punches I have that much and I have a ton of scraps anyway.

I dont put my ribbon all the way around ussually. I just see that as bulk and waste lol. I dont cut from behind my pictures ussually though....

I have used the mats for die cuts and punches before. I cringe when I throw tiny scraps away. It is no wonder I have so much stuff!

I don't put ribbon all the way around anything. I don't cut out my photo mats, though. I have enough scraps as it is!

I don't go out of my way to do these things but I have matted before with part of it cut out because I wanted to use up that scrap instead of cutting into a new peice of CS.

I use my ribbon around the whole thing when it's small and I am tying bows or knots, but if it's of larger size I don't.

GREAT idea on the picture mat though! I never would've thought of that. DUH!
