Unlike newspapers,
People all over the globe use millions of metric tons of paper every year. Luckily, it is one of the most recyclable materials. Paper, typically made from wood pulp, is a sustainable product because it can be easily reused, recycled, and renewed. Although not all paper products can be considered recyclable, there are still a whole lot of them that can be reused such as magazines, newspapers, and office papers.
Have you tried recycling papers? Do you collect paper scraps simply because they’re too pretty to throw away? Or maybe you keep some papers because they hold memories you don’t want to forget? Whatever it may be, we hope that the layouts featured here will spark your interest to put those papers into good use and flaunt them in a scrapbook project.
Newspapers
Newspapers have been around for millennia. Although people nowadays seldom read the news in print because of the digital transformation, we cannot deny that it became a big part of our lives. Newspapers brought us news and information longer than any media platform. We used to keep updated with the local and even international happenings through the help of this paper.
Have you or someone you know been featured or mentioned in a newspaper? Why not show how special it is for you by displaying it in a layout? Or at least, use some newspaper as a background to your story.

Magazines
Glossy paper is typically used for magazines, while newspapers are usually printed on a less shiny material. They are heavily illustrated and very attractive in terms of appearance. Magazines cover a wide variety of topics and genres that are sure to entertain any reader.
Do you like collecting magazines? Have you ever dreamed of seeing a photo of yourself in a well-known magazine?

Books
Books are made from paper just like newspapers. The pages of a book are usually flat, white sheets where you can print letters and pictures on. There are a lot of different kinds of books. What type of books do you enjoy reading?

Cards & Invitations
Many cards and invitations are crafted from high-quality paper. Unlike the ordinary paper we know, they are usually shiny and have a smooth surface. You can add texture or even a fragrant scent to other cards and invitations. But one thing is for sure, they are durable and very appealing to the eyes.
Have you tried creating cards and invitations for your loved ones? Or have you kept one yourself as a remembrance of a memorable event? Why not showcase them in your next project!

That would be a great story to tell, Ann. You should make a page just for that encounter story!
Thank you for the papers! and CONGRATULATIONS on the new grandbaby!! I know that is exciting. So glad you are free to visit. Here in the States, you probably would not be able to because of the Virus.
