Hello, crafty friends! 💕 Have you ever looked at a gorgeous sheet of scrapbook paper and thought, “This is too pretty to just sit in an album”? Well, Heather, one of our talented Create That Studio Design Team members, felt the same way—and she’s here to show us how to turn scrapbook paper into fabulous wall décor!
A New Way to Love Scrapbook Paper
Heather recently worked with a stunning line of paper from Reminisce, and it was love at first sight! The collection’s rich colors, beautiful patterns, and versatile designs inspired her to think outside the box—or, should we say, the album!
Instead of using the paper for a traditional layout, Heather decided to create a set of custom wall canvases that are perfect for decorating a craft room, living space, or even gifting to a loved one.
