I don’t scrapbook. At all. But I can use the heck out of scrapbook paper. When there’s a sale at the craft store, I pick up a few new sheets or a greatly discounted pad of 2-sided sheets.
Scrapbook paper has been perfect as backgrounds for any product photography I have done for my Etsy store or for simple shots for my blog.
Another great use has been in my studio. I have a couple of mail-slot cabinets that I just adore. For one, I found some cardboard bins online that fit just right into the slots. I covered the face of each with different scrapbook paper patterns and added simple labels that I printed out onto label stock.
This weekend, I took my other old brown cabinet with slots too small for bins and by cutting the paper to size, I lined almost every slot with a pattern. The 2-sided sheets are a great assortment. No need for tape or glue, the paper fit snug to the sides and doesn’t move.
Now perked up, I’m filling it with all kinds of little things that needed a home.

Oh my, so beautiful! You did a great job.
How fun! I'm a scrapbook paper junkie, too, but I like to make cards. Thanks for sharing the photo of your craft corner cabinets.
I love paper. What a great idea. Thanks. Found you over on twitter.
Lets compare stacks of scrap paper someday!
I love these, I am so jealous that you have these little slotted things and I don't! Love the idea for using patterned paper to line them and make them all cute.
I don't scrapbook either and I didn't think of picking up the scrapbook paper for photography backgrounds! I'll do that when I see some on sale. Thanks for sharing!
Cathe, I love everything you do. I never scrapbook, either, but there's so much fun to be had with those papers!
I love the use of the paper here! I am dying to reface some of my wooden storage boxes with some Modge Podge and scrapbook paper!
I love your shelves. I can just imagine what my 2 year old would do to that if she got a hold of it! Someday I can do cute things like that:-)
Oh goodness...that mail-slot cabinet lined with all those beautiful papers...makes my heart go pitter-pat!
I know what you mean. I decopauged a wooden utensil tray with THE cutest paper.
