I asked if I could have them and we use them for several crafting sessions around our house!! When the wallpaper companies send these to the stores, they have expiration dates on the binding..and they can't use them after that date. So what a great thing to recycle...a great product, and a great cause!

I made one of red card stock, black and white gauze fabric, black button and stamped in black for Valentine's day last year. I would attach a photo but I don't know how! Recycling old greeting cards is a great way to help clean up the planet!

This post is incredibly helpful in making sure I stay green! I particularly like the idea of using old books that are following apart - I've got a few of those on my shelf!!

I use alot of different things like that for inspiration and some of them even make it into my scrapbooks - however, alot of things will actually eventually ruin the pictures if you're not careful - so if your readers are interested in the scrapbook lasting for their children's children to see, they should be careful to make sure it's acid/lignin free...most environmentally friendly stuff is usually safe but do the research if you care about it lasting! (not yellowing, fading, destroying the pictures) Great ideas on finding inspiration for scrapbooking with old books & maps & such.
