I took a class that was called "Junk Journal" back when I went to spark..but it really should have been called "amazing ways to transform an old book". Basically you brought an old book with you to the class and transformed the pages into pockets, outlines of butterfly's and picture frames. I have never looked at old books the same since..This particular book I purchased in an Ephemera lot off of EBay. Little did I know it was from 1910! I shouldn't have used such an old book, as now it is a little more fragile than I would like. But, I finally finished it and it makes an adorable baby book (mine). I also did a spin off of sorts with a vintage kids jungle book. Instead of cutting out shapes, and doing frames I put the pages right over the words of the book. I left most of the color pictures alone because they were so vibrant and beautiful. They sure don't print books the way they used to. My favorite though is a golden book (smaller children's book) alphabet story I did in vintage school theme. It turned out sooo cute! My first craft show ever was last Sat and I actually sold it there! I made it the night before, and only shot a couple pics with my phone as I was setting up my table at the craft show! I plan to do a few more, they are just sooo fun to work with, and of course vintage school (or anything) is my favorite!!
