I don't have a Cricut machine, nor do I do any scrapbooking. But geesh there is some really cute 12 x 12 and 8 x 12 craft paper out there in single sheets or in stacks!
I'd love to be able to do something with these but can't come up with anything.
So - any ideas ladies?

Great ideas - I like them all! For some reason my brain just goes blank when I think of something to do with this stuff.
I will share one more good idea a customer of mine passed on.........using it for doll house wallpaper. She said that actual doll house paper is atrocious but scrapbook paper is far cheaper.
But I like the idea of decoupage and doing something with wood. Now my creative juices are flowing! Thanks ladies!

I do have a cricket machine & I just Hate throwing away the 'scraps' so I toss them in a box to use for embellishments on cards & tags.... perfect for decopauging too!
Linda...I didn't even think about the paper dolls...perfect to make paper doll outfits... now I just need my 2 grand babies to get a little older so I can sit & make & play paper dolls with them.
Growing up a 'Military Brat'...(daddy was career Army) we couldn't take much everytime we moved but when I was little, Paper Dolls were a constant companion...I loved making additionl clothes for them with contruction paper & crayons... Sweet memories... Thank you Linda. :>)

Paperdolls! Use skincolor -peach or browns
Then prints for the clothes....
I think I'll try it!

You could make boxes with them - granted they aren't super big, but it makes a nice box that you can customize any way you want & it's pretty easy too (I watched a video on how to do them - a few times, I think lol).

You could make your own collages, and if you got really fancy, you could scan them into a computer, then with a photoshop program or something, you could make photos even more personal with a cute design/border.

You can decoupage little wood boxes, make origami or collage with them.

You can just frame them and group them to hang on a wall. I have seen some cute ideas like this:
