Hey everyone!  Kim, here!  I too used my Cottage Christmas Scraps - every last bit of them!  Every year, my youngest son and I decorate a small tree that sits in his room.  It is the highlight of the decorating for him, so I knew we had to come up with some fun new ideas!  Cottage Christmas to the rescue!  Here is the finished product:

and here is a closeup:

The first thing we created was a simple paper chain using the 6 x 6 paper pad which has those wonderful prints but in minature size!

Next up we punched some stars out of the same papers and used a sticky dot to put them back to back on a small wire.  This makes the perfect garland! 

Also using a small wire, we beaded the crystal snowflake embellishments and created even another fun garland!  

These look so cute on the little tree!  My son loves them!  Next up we decorated a tray that we will put all our Christmas Cards in this year --- currently our cute little tree is sitting in it!
