27 Uses for Scrapbook Paper

Back in the old days (basically, the “old days” = pre-kids), I used to scrapbook. A lot. Today I use a Memory Planner, but I have maintained my obsession and compulsive buying habits when it comes to scrapbook paper. I don’t even want to tell you how many pieces of scrapbook paper I have around my house, because it would be embarrassing. So…what’s one to do with it all? I’ve compiled a list of uses for scrapbook paper that I think any paper hoarder will appreciate.

If you’re like me, you’ll see this list and get a bunch of ideas and feel the need to buy even MORE scrapbook paper. You have my blessing.

Seriously…I used to scrapbook too! Lila (my 5 year old) has an awesome scrapbook through THREE MONTHS…sigh. Great awesome post! Pinning!

Fabulous ideas!! It seems there’s always a use for school projects, science fair projects (the display board), etc.

I scrapbooked in the old days too, and all the way up to when I started blogging. That’s when scrapbooking stopped! I do still have tons of paper. It’s just so pretty; I can’t part with it.

I, too, have way too much scrapbook paper, and appreciate these ideas.

Great ideas..especially the wall monogram and the envelopes! I will have to look at more ideas here! Thanks for sharing!

I too have an embarrassing amount of paper in my crafty stash so this list is full of great ideas for me! Thanks
The problem I find is that it is just so pretty, it calls to me in the shops – “buy me, buy me, you could make lovely things with me….!”

Love this and I’m really going to try out some of these ideas. I am the same as you too many papers, too much temptation to buy more things, too much time on the computer so I went over to digital. Dropping in from SITS

What great idea. Thanks for linking up to Sweet and Savoury Sunday, stop by and link up again. Have a great day!!

Awesome list! I have way too much scrapbook paper sitting around!

These are great ideas, and I’m going to try making my own envelopes 🙂
Thanks

These are all great ways to use scrapbook paper! Great ideas!

I just today acquired a giant stash of scrapbook paper. The nonprofit organisation where I volunteer two mornings a week got the paper and its super useful hanging file storage box as part of a donation. Their craft supply cabinet was already bulging so I scored! Now all I have to do is figure out what to do with my treasure trove since I don’t intend to start scrapbooking. Thanks for these tips.

Funny sidelight: Among the donated toys, books, games and craft items was a booklet entitled “How to Raise Ferrets”. We all agreed that we already have enough tiny, high energy, mischievous little beings scampering around the premises without adding ferrets to the mixture.
