Scrapbook Paper for an AMAZING Price!!!!
Scrapbook Paper is so much fun to use for crafts.
It adds another fun element of color and design to any creative creation. Sometimes, however, pretty papers can be pretty expensive. BUT, I found some AMAZING DEALS for some SUPER CUTE paper on Amazon.
Each of these come with around 50 sheets of 12" x 12" papers. So many fun designs and colors it's hard to choose which to get!
