When scrapbooking or making greeting cards I was tired of the mess created when trying to get the glue to cover the edge of a piece of paper. If I use a sheet of newspaper underneath, the 2nd time I used it I picked up the glue on the front of my paper, so I started using the catalogs and store ads magazines that I get in the mail every day.

Dear Sue, that is a great idea however, there are many dry adhesives that are used in scrapbooking and cardmaking. If scrapbooking always remember to use one that is acid free to protect your photos and pages. Best of Luck!!
I bought a roll of wax paper and keep it in my craft room and use it. I put it under my cards when making them and if I get glue on the wax paper I just fold it up a little and keep working I usually can get 3 to 4 cards per sheet of wax paper. Sometimes more than that it just depends on the type of card you are making.
I learned this from another crafter, it's a great use for old magazines, especially ones I've cut images or pages out of, so they wouldn't work so well to be donated. Another book I use are the phone books we get all the time. We don't use them, but they work great in my craft room. In fact we keep two 'glue' books, one for me and one for my daughter.
