1. Most scrapbooking paper has a white backing. You fold and cut the folded paper to the size of your mailing envelope and have a perfectly sized note card. You can even as a photo on the front or the inside and the weight of an added photo doesn't even make the postage rate go up.You can also use the pretty scrapbooking paper to put behind a photo when you frame it, instead of using a mat. Depending on what design is on the paper, it can bring interest to the photo.
2. -You could always collage plain notebooks or decorate them using scrapbooking paper, quotes, magazine cutouts, etc. I love doing this cuz it looks awesome, is cheap, and people are always like, did you make this? and I'm like YES as a matter of fact I did! :)

-Another idea is to cover a pint sized paint can and decorate it to hold pens, pencils and markers or to use as a gift box.
-Old cookie sheets can be recycled by covering them with scrap booking paper and turning them into a magnet board for a bedroom or kitchen or something. This would make a great gift!
-Decoupaging a wooden picture frame with scrapbook paper is easily done with a few coats of Modge Podge and scraps of paper.
-You can always make cards too. It's creative and people always enjoy homemade cards. :)
I love scrapbooking paper too. It always seems like they make it cuter and cuter every time I see it! So, here's just a couple suggestions. Have fun!
