Well, this could be a bust, but here goes...
Make a collage background. To add more interest, tear the edges of just some of the scraps. You can make this work even with scraps that don't necessarily go together. Just don't put those next to each other. Don't be afraid to put patterns near each other, though.
If you work with two-page spreads, make two backgrounds at one time for a bit more cohesive look. Kind of like quilting, but with paper.
I may come up with a few more. I'd like to do one a day this week. We will see...

Define collage please. I know what one is but I was wondering what you were thinking.

This sounds interesting and I like tearing paper
and I would like to know …when you say collage, are we doing the whole background or just part.

We could collage a large shape like a heart or pumpkin

Sounds interesting! I like your examples. Not sure if I’ll get to it but I’ll see if I can work it in somewhere.

So I pulled out all my pattern paper with the intention of trying this challenge but I saw too many papers that could still be used on a layout so I made 7 page kits from scraps. Thank you for getting me to even pull my pattern paper scraps out . I might still try the challenge. IMG_4749 by Gabriella B, on Flickr

Not sure I got this right. I have seen some of these done in the past and always wanted to just try it so thanks for the push. These papers were all shoved in my Pattern Paper scrap drawer and most have been there for years. I just pulled the one big pink floral and then started pulling other ones that had similar colors.
