Come on in! Welcome to the "I made it with scrapbook paper party!!!"

Whhho0000-hooo! Welcome to the party! Grab a drink, break out the chips and dips and let's  see all of the ideas and inspirations!
 I've used scrapbook paper quite  a bit...

 On boxes
 
And my newest favorite...

My kitchen valance. I needed something cheap and with lots of color since Thanksgiving is at our house.
We took down the stained glass window we had hanging in there  because I wanted to change things up a little bit and let in more light for the winter.

This is super easy project was glued (decoupaged) onto ordinary cardboard.  I hot glued trim onto the edge to clean it up, and stuck it on the window trim with my favorite adhesive squares.
So link up and let's see all of your clever projects and ideas! Please put on link on your blog so others can enjoy the party too!

Man, how could I miss this party! Right up my alley. I'll see if there is anything I can quickly find.

But typepad has reconfigured and nothing is quick now. Posting has gotten much more complicated for me all of a sudden! Durn them.
