What I do with old languishing Patterned Scrapbook Paper

 I confess I have a serious weakness for patterned Scrapbook Paper! When Hobby Lobby has their papers on sale for 50% off and I am there will bells on, drool running down my chin, desperately trying not to spend our food and gas budget or give my husband a stroke.
Some of the Papers I have are now 7 years old and out of style, or I just don't really care for the pattern anymore, but I found a way to use them in the packaging of my handmade soaps.



I try to stick to a color theme for each type of soap, like greens for Rosemary Mint, earthy shades for my Oatmeal and Goat Milk Soaps, and shades of purple for the Lavender. People really seem to respond to this form of packaging, simply because I fold the colorful paper the same way you would wrap a present....and that is what it is like to unwrap, opening a present!
