I took a book which I found in a charity shop for 50p, and I destroyed it. Okay, well I took it apart and made a journal whch I aim to fill in the next few weeks, or more to the point, if I was honest, probably in the next six months! I had a lovely time creating it, and got use some of the Ten Seconds Studio metal, grungeboard, inks, and most of all a pad of 12 x 12 paper I had been saving for a special occasion such as this! May I present to you the Blue Awning Book!
This is the book as I bought it, which was a thick child's board book
Then I cut it up and and made the pages and bound it together with the Bind-it-all.
As there are several pages I have made a slide showPlease do try to have a go and remember to comment and let me know where your creation is.
Next Saturday is a new Theatre Production, so in the meantime dig out that paperback or child's book you have stuffed in a cupboard, and destroy it, , and make it into something wonderful, and different.
Happy Creating
Jennie

Wow! This book amazes me. Wouldn't it be lovely to give an altered book as a Valentine? I would love to try that for Mr. Al using a special poem and images from the antique Atlantic Burr Monthly magazines his precious father gave me. It would be so romantic. Now to run upstairs and look for a book! You have inspired me, Jennie!
XOXO,

I love what you've done with a book, Jennie. Gorgeous! Just dug and old book out that I bought months ago...you've given me inspiration to get started :) x
Jennie I have spent days on my book - but have only managed the front and back covers and two inner ones. I have failed miserably as I just don't have papers, gems, etc so have had to make mine from scratch.
I have however, decided to put it up on my blog just to ensure you get some plugs and that also you know that I truly did have a go.
I now have some grey hairs LOL
