How To Make Your Own Scrapbook Paper (amazing, I know)

Well, as soon as you looked at this post, I bet you're wondering yourself crazy just thinking about how I could POSSIBLY do this, and still make it look cute?  Well, here's your answer.

Over the past few months or so, I have discovered a cheap way to make your own designs, and still make them look cute.

Materials:
  • Cardstock or regular printer paper (this just depends on how sturdy you want your paper to be, and what you are using it for)
  • A theme or inspiration of your choice (love, friendship, etc.) 
  • Different quotes about your theme

How to do it?
  1. Get on your computer, and open up word or another processor system
  2. Open another tab and look up a list of several quotes, or sayings about your theme, and copy what you are going to use.  If you are having trouble finding quotes, here is a link that will take you to a good website:  http://www.quotesandpoem.com/quotes/listsubjects/, or you could always think of some on your own (which might be interesting, but go ahead, give it a shot!)
  3. Paste your quotes on Word, and change the font and size to your liking.  You may want to change the layout of the page to justify or page fill.
  4. Print out your quotes on the paper of your choice
  5. Enjoy your ridiculously awesome homemade scrapbook paper!!
