Art Inchies

In all honesty, when I first heard of "inchies" I wondered "what the heck?" Who has the time to resize their images, scan in some embellishments and resize them, all to fit on a 1" square? Well, with a little thought and imagination, I realized I could pull the images up from my pictures in MS Word and resize them manually without too much trouble, so today I attempted to create my first ones ever! After printing and trimming, I was all set to get started assembling them onto a 1" printed cardstock base. I used printed cardstock scraps that I had leftover from some of my other cards and projects and I'm also woman enough to admit when I'm wrong and after quickly creating these, I soon realized just how addicting these little 1" pieces of art could become! They are adorable and offer so many possibilities in using them in mixed media artwork! Did a mention that they are a great way to utilize scraps of paper that I'd otherwise probably throw away? And I realized that these offer a new use for some of the ATC size stamps I purchased sometime ago but haven't used in a while. Can you picture these being used as charms on a necklace or bracelet that you could actually wear? or even small magnets? or hot glued onto tacks for a decorative bullutin board push pin? I'm certain I've simply touch the surface on uses for these. For those of you have created them, what ideas, thoughts, and uses have you used your inches for? I'd love to hear....
