Paper that's just too pretty

Paper Source's decorative papers are just too pretty to simplu wrap a gift in and then discard! My grandmother collected elephant figurines and jewelry and I have continued on the tradition. In particular, I only buy elephants with their trunks turned up as they are said to be good luck. So naturally, I love this new elephant patterned paper that was featured in the Paper Source catalog that arrived in my mailbox yesterday:

I am thinking of buying a sheet to hang in a frame above my bed. Perhaps with a sharp, brightly colored matte to add some punch! It would definitely make very inexpensive wall decor. There are so many possibilities for using them other than plain old giftwrap:

- To line a shelf in a china cabinet. Definitely more pattern choices than plastic shelfliner!
- To line the glass door of a cabinet when you'd prefer people not to see the mess inside!
- As a background in a scrapbook.
- Decoupaged on the bottom of a serving tray.
- A friend has made coasters with Paper Source paper (the same way we made map coasters - click here to see last year's DIY post).

Any other ideas out there?
