Three Ways to Use Scrapbook Paper
Let’s get the obvious out of the way…we are craft supply hoarders. I don’t know any other way to put it. We like craft supplies and we have way too much of them. Raise your hands if you know what I’m talking about! Raise BOTH hands if you have a particular penchant for hoarding sheets of pretty scrapbook paper. You know? The 12×12 inch paper that comes in every pattern under the sun. The paper that is always on sale for pennies…which means you have to buy at least 30 sheets.
