I just thought of some fun and quick gift ideas!

Take the idea for the mini keyring and print the layout at 3.5" (allows you to read journaling). But print it on magnetic paper! Tons of layouts on your fridge or to give as gifts! Will keep the kids busy for hours! :D

You could also print at that size and buy some clothespins and magetic tape. Put a strip of magnetic tape on the back of the clothespin. On opposite side of pin, glue laminated mini layout. Then you have a clip for the fridge that has your layout on it! Great to hold up the kids latest artwork!

If you scarp in 8x10 instead of 8x8 or 12x12, then do the same thing only print it out business card size!

I made my lyrical challenge layout in wallet size. I am going to print it out on magentic paper and put on the fridge to remind me to be thankful for such a beautiful family God has blessed me with! :D

Hope these ideas inspire you! I have already got all my Christmas gifts for this year! Just have to print them out! LOL!! :D (ooooohhhhh I am soooooo lovin' digital scrapbooking!)

Great ideas thanks so much for sharing! I can just picture my fridge now - only I don't think magnetic paper available here - laminated with a little magnet stuck on back is the way I'll have to go.

And yet another idea - Get your old unusable CDS print a layout circle/label size stick on cd - place magnets on the other side - you have round layouts on your fridge!!!!! SO MANY IDEAS - so little time!!!!!

I have a Xyron Machine with a Magnetic Cartridge, which also laminates. I have made quite a few fridge magnets and they have been popular presents.

wow, I had thought of doing the fridge paper doll idea, but duh never thought of putting the layouts themselves on the fridge! What a great way for the kids to play with their own pages, and a good way to casually show off our work to our friends and neighbors as well without making them sit down to see the album or slide show! Plus the gift idea is fantastic!

Now that's a fun idea, and easy to do at home too! Try an online store for printer paper, they have a million different kinds, and bound to spark more ideas.

i was able to get magnetic printing paper at Hobby Lobby for a GREAT price! It worked well and cut VERY easily. Just put the paper in, print, cut and display on fridge! :D I made them smaller sizes so I could fit several on a page.
