Those squares... Serendipity???, can we learn how to do them?

[pongoperdigirl]

I read some posts about these squares and it really intrigued me and I was wondering if we can get instructions on how to do them?
I would love to give it a try!!!
I am not sure if I have the name right, I know it involved using your scraps up though.

I can't bear to throw any piece away that looks even remotely like I could use it in something else

Never mind, I googled it

wow, I was going to do a class on those but I don't think I can top those examples! Thanks for sharing!

Here's another link to the site I found. I did things mostly the way she said, but I drew my cutting lines on the base paper before I glued all the scraps on. It was easier than doing it afterwards on uneven paper (since the first set I did, I followed her instructions 100% and learned it for myself)

I used the squares I made on the title page for our 2007 WDW album. The scraps were from the layouts I did of my two favorite parts of the trip (Blizzard Beach and California Grill), so even though they are just a border on the page, they have a lot of meaning to me:).

Great idea drawing lines first! What do you find best to cut? My CM couldn't copr so I used scissors, but I have a problem cutting straight lines and its hard on my hands so I'm wndering about using the MM next time.
