Which brings me back to 'scraps'. In this instance, I did use scraps to create a scrapbooking page; scraps of cast-aside wrapping paper from Mimi's 4th birthday. As she ripped and teared her way through a variety of generous gifts, a large pile of 'rubbish' was accumulated. I intercepted the handfuls on the way to the recycling bin and suggested they go in a big bag instead.
Yesterday, nearly two weeks after the party (I've been busy OK!), I finally sorted through the wrapping paper shreds, and cut out some of the motifs from the least damaged sections. I lay the pieces on the table and saw mermaids, flowers, butterflies and birds.
To compliment the wrapping paper pieces, I selected a piece of scrabooking paper (from one of DCWV's premium stacks) that was both pink and blue, in reference to my daughter and the watery-theme of her Mermaid birthday party. The word 'love' combined with the bird and swirls worked perfectly to make a whimsical piece of artwork ready for one of Mimi's birthday photos when I get them printed.
You could use the same approach for your party. If you're not a scrapbooker, place the wrapping-paper pictures on a piece of ordinary paper and frame the collection.
