I was trimming some of my 12×12 paper to fit into an 8×8 scrapbook but now I have all these pieces of perfectly good strips that I don’t know what to do with. They’re 4×12 and 4×8 pieces of various patterned paper. I don’t want to throw them out because that’d be a waste.

I am not real familiar with scrapbook terms, so bare with me. I noticed there are different weights of cardstock paper. Which one should I use for the backside of the background paper, so that the page is not flimsy? I purchased some Die Cuts with a View Card Stock from Joann’s, but it just does not seem thick enough. Then I thought maybe this is how thick the card stock should be I do not want it to be as stiff as board, because I still have to keep in mind this has be able to fit into a page protector. I have noticed if the pages are too stiff it is a pain in the butt to make them slide into the page protector. Can someone recommend some card stock to me and where to get it?
