Personally, I really don't like having bits and pieces of paper lying around (even if they're organized by color in a binder) especially if most of them have been around since 2003. I thought I'm going to use them all up before I buy anything new. I think I'm making a headway in terms of clearing my scraps out. Although, this year, it became sort of necessary to buy new papers for new orders as it should be.
Anyway, here are some of the things I did with the scraps.
This is a modified file folder mini-album. Actually, this was inspired a bit by this YouTube video of Marion Smith. I don't have those envelopes from junk mails nor do I want to use new ones but what I had were big scraps that I could cut down using a file folder template I did. Some of the scraps were double-sided patterned cardstock. Some, I glued lining inside. Some of the ribbons were scraps and the tags inside were made from a kraft folder left over by my niece from her project. 
Some were used for bookmarks and artist trading cards I have no one to swap with as I don't belong to any group. Although, I could swap again with the awesome Chris Palmer.
And I have punched quite a lot of little circles and squares and did a lot of bristol board buttons which I like more than chipboard ones since it has a white core. My nieces had already used some of those scraps. And I still have a lot of them remaining!! What else could I do with them? Serenity squares? Heh. Because honestly, I want to replace my stash already. I don't want to be saddled with stuff anymore than I can use.

My God! You're works are
Awesome! Where do you learn to make these stuff. Such as book binding, Creating boxes. Do you Attend classes or learn them from the internet?
Aww... thanks. Bookbinding and boxes have been major, major interest for me since elementary school so I tried to learn techniques here and there on my own throughout the years. And lately I discovered that there are awesome tutorials on YouTube!!! Free instructions and some even from art school professors. :)
These are amazing!!!
I am in awe....

These are simply amazing! I hope you can use the photos I took of the coptic-bound book :>
I am looking for a different kind of thread- something sturdy. Would you happen to know where I can get hold of the one's we used to use as kids for kite flying?
Kite Flying Thread available at Carolina's in Megamall. Not sure if available at their Glorietta 5 branch. It's on top of a shelf for crochet threads located on the far, right side of the room if you're facing the storefront. :)
