i just want to say thanks for the great responses to my tutorials!
SOOOOOOO…i have been cleaning up in my scraproom as it looks like a michaels store threw up in there. then this morning for some reason (possibly the piles (plural) of paper all around the floor) i decided to go through my patterned paper and organize a bit so i could get it all put away……GOOD HEAVENS i have entirely too much paper! i am pretty sure that if i never bought another sheet of paper i would still be able to scrap until i died!! what to do……i was reading a thread on the cricut board asking if anyone has seen the new valentine papers from anywhere yet. well i am pretty sure i could make valentines for the whole USA with wht i have 
SO i have really been thinking alot bout the new year and my personal goals this year – not so much resolutions just goals. one of them is to USE WHAT I HAVE. i am fearful though…..people come to blogs to see ll the latest & gretest. and quite frankly i have no need or room for one of everything anymore – i want to use what i have accumulated. SO i hope i do not disappoint. HOWEVER i DO have lots of other plans in mind to keep things fun around here. so stay tuned, i will reveal more on new year’s day!
OH and what the heck do y’all do with YOUR mountains of extra paper you no longer want to use???

**********************************
got another christmas project i wanted to show y’all today…i think this is the last of them…..which means i better get cleanin downstairs!!!
This is an explosion gift card box i made for Trev:
and here it is when opened:
the snowman inside was holding a fake $1 bill. when he took it out and unfolded it i had written check your bank account on the inside hee heee!
i used SEI patterned paper on all panels inside and out. then i used one of the snowflake nesties sets to cut several 
snowflakes in pale blue & silver. then i gave each of them a snowflake skittle center & added skittle snowman to one corner of each panel. these are both in stock now on my website but they go quick and i won’t get anymore for this year.
i think i am going to make some bday ones to have on hand 
i have to say i am itchin to do something not christmas-y!
have a great day!

Hi Marti,
I’d recommend using ebay or your store to sell the patterned paper (even scraps!) that you’re not going to use. Just a thought.
I have the same resolution! I’m not buying anything new or spending any money on scrapbooking (except adhesive and photo developing because you can’t do much without that:-). We’ll see how long it lasts! Probably just until Cricut comes out with a new cart!
what a great box and goo
What a great project!! I love the paper design and the colors!!!
I give away the paper I don’t like. Another idea is to cute the 12×12 to 6×6 and offer it as blog candy. I figure I may not want the paper but someone can use it. I am with you on goals to use what I have.
Cute box!
Extra paper that I dont plan to use… not sure I have any right now. When I did though I would either swap it with someone who could use it or I would make card kits with it and then do a card making party. Each person who came to the party would be able to pick a kit and make the cards in it. I attend one of these that a Stampin Up! demostrator does about once a month and they are a blast.
I gave mine to a kindergarten full of kids that needed to learn to cut, paste and whatever. The teacher said the kids loved creating “stuff” out of it.
Oh, how I love this!
