"Do you have a pile of leftover scraps from projects previously made or even a half finished project waiting for you to get the time to complete it? This is the challenge for you! It is time to pull out those scraps, remnants or half finished projects and pull them together into a fabulous shabby chic or vintage project. Make sure to mention in your post what part of your project was a scrap or remnant."

I decided to use the card marked with an arrow below, which consists of a Distress Oxide Ink blended through a Stencil Girl Sencil on a top-folding card base made form Neena Solar White, created more than a year ago:
Other bits and bobs included metal embellishments and white card stock die cuts which I have received as freebies from the Funkie Junkie Boutique. I decided to select a few gears (and a word, not shown here) from these two stashes:
My first step was to blend a second color ("Dried Marigold") of Distress Oxide through a Tim Holtz Layering Stencil over the remnant card base. I used Versamark Ink and copper, silver and clear embossing powders on the die cuts (copper and silver on the gears, clear on the "word" - not shown here - which I inked first with "Dried Marigold" Distress Oxide Ink). I adhered the embossed gears to the inked card base:
Next, I took three of the brass gears from my "freebie" stash and glued them to select embossed gears. I located a sitting man of the right size in my Idea-ology "Paper Dolls" collection and sat him, using foam dots, on the bottom row of gears. I took the embossed word, glued it on the card and outlined it with a black gel pen so it would show up. I finished up with an Idea-ology "Small Talk" sticker:
