Mats from Scraps

I'm not really sure whether the paper with the hole in it that was used to frame the cream colored background on the first page is the "scrap", or if the scrap is the mat on the second page.  One way or another, however, the same piece of paper was used for two things - cut in such a way that the leftovers worked for the other page.  I really liked the diamond shapes on this paper, but a whole page of it seemed a bit excessive.  Then I thought about cutting around the diamonds to create an interesting shape, and this set of pages was born.
