if you've fallen out of love with a few of your patterned papers AND you've run out of white cardstock AND you notice that the back of fugly papers is white, that you use the back side and call it cardstock
Because that may or may not have happened to me...and Jamie would be so happy that I didn't use the front side of the PP!

Every piece of My Minds Eye patterned paper I see can be used as cardstock on the back. Hey, you're not wasting, are you?
Good for you!

Pfff... you're just "repurposing". That's like the recycling of the scrapping world and I say you get a gold star.

I have done this- especially I use the back to cut out for journaling and stuff- helps me use up the stuff I have that will otherwise never ever be used.

I think you should send the PP to Leslie and I'll send you white cardstock
btw, if you don't mind non-textured, Target has a 70 pack of Wausau paper on sale for $6, (it said) but it rang up at $4.63 or something for me.

I have to say, I never thought of this before. Good for you Laura, there is no such thing as "wrong" in scrapbooking.

It's resourceful AND you're using your stash! There's no rule that says you have to use the front side
