Many of the pages make great backgrounds and some of the border papers offer possibilities for great focals or embellishments. Here's a real quick card I threw together from the first couple of pages in one of the books. The black and tan borders were cut from the edges of the border paper, and the flower focal was also cut from it. The "ribbons," obviously, are also from the edges of the border paper. And since they were all designed to go together, they mix with the background beautifully. The only thing on this card that was not from those two wallpaper sheets is the sentiment. It was something I had already cut on my Silhouette out of sticky-back cardstock (see Greetings for Cards post).
While this card is certainly not the best card I have ever made, I love that it only took 5 or 10 minutes to make! I have a feeling I'll be making great use of these wallpaper books in the future.

Beautiful Cheryl. What a clever idea! For a quick card, this came out fantastic. :)
Thanks, Jennifer! What I forgot to say in my post was that the flower I used for the focal was partially cut off on the section of paper that was included in the book. However, since I was cutting it out anyway, I was able to trim the petals and leaves in such a way that it isn't obvious that part of them was missing!
Cheryl: Quick, easy, and terrific! Crafters are known for their resourcefulness!!!
This would be a great example for a 'go-green' blog entry.
