Old Book to New Journal/ Scrapbook



Take a peek at the journal I created from an old book I got for a song (Copyright 1947). I ripped out some of the pages in order to add embellishments and I do love the overstuffed look of it.





Anything you can put in a scrapbook or journal, you can put in here.



Notice a small theme with the birds? Just love birds, take flight!
Do click on this picture, the ribbon marker is tied with a key with the word "Life" on it, perfect don't you think?



When I was ripping out some of the pages I saw New Hampshire mentioned in some of the pages. Having grown up in NH, I was thrilled to see it and knew making this journal out of the old book was destiny.

Do you have any old books you no longer want? Why not make a lovely journal out of it.

Kindredly, Lynne Laura

This is so sweet. I have been wanting to do the same thing with a bunny theme.
