Bonny, this is a great question, and I can't wait to see the responses. So far the only thing that comes to mind is using some of the stencils, for home decorating, unfortunely that is no an orginial idea. Perhaps someone else cam come up with something better. I have also used some of those cute memory flowers for decorating candles that I didn't want to burn. Penny

I use my stencils and stickers and leftover paper to make greeting cards.

This is my first time on this forum, but I'll jump right in here. My kids are using them for school projects, and the projects come out great! LOL - my son want his own tape runner. His latest assignment was pictures on posterboad. Well- HIS pictures were all rotary cropped, had rounded corners, and were mounted on great colored paper mats with MY tape roller. The lettering was either stick on or stenciled with my scrapbook pens. The teacher probably thought I did the project it came out so nice! The kids now refuse to use construction paper, and will not turn in a paper that has a picture mounted on it (with my tape runner of course) without rounding the corners first. Also - my husband is a printer and has been know to use my circle and oval cutters!

To answer my own question - I have used stickers to decorate mats around pictures that were then framed. I haven't tried it yet, but read that stickers can be put on one or more layers of cardstock cutting each piece a bit bigger than the last and then magnet material added to the back to make fridge or locker magnets. It seems to me you could do the same thing and then add a pinback.

I made snowman ornaments, I cut out a simple snowman shape, used my markers and gel pens to make faces, vests and stitches around the edges. I laid them right sides together, placed a small piece of batting on the outside, stitched, turned and stuck small twigs for arms through the side seams and glued and added a cord hanger. One of the stamping sites stamped on the back side of pop cans, cut them out and slightly curled the edges and made cool butterflies, you could just draw with your markers or stencil them. A friend spray painted vegetable cans, then stenciled on them for small planters, she added a wire handle. I have one with pansies that is really cute. I sometimes use my papers as stationery, I print out letters on them, brightens shutins day or I place a sticker on a plain letter to add a holiday or special event theme. I also use my decorative scissors to trim envelope flaps to add interest. Light switch covers with a few decorative stickers or stenciling can hide the cover and carry out a theme. Also plan to make seed packets with stickers and markers/gel pens and put small curled wire hangers on them then add my own saved seed for stocking stuffers and secret gifts. Gracefulbee.com was starting a new section with ideas for using scrapping tools, etc., too.
