Beautiful day - video of my new homemade smashbook


I've been working away at my ever growing paper scrap pile. I keep most scraps and they end up in books I've been making. Currently I am on a smashbook/junk journal/ hybrid book making go and I use up what I have to put into the books. This book I've named Miss Edith and she is made from brown paper bags I brought from coles or woolworths, they are the lunch bags which are about a couple of dollars for a packet of 100. I cover the shinny side and split open the inside which isn't shiny to make 'signatures' then it is all joined together. Some of the pages I left to show the brown paper bag inside because I like that look.  I still have yet to do the cover on this one, not sure what else to do with the look of it. I used modelling paste over a stencil and it is all raised.
 
Creating books like this is very frugal and good way to use what you have.
 
I hope everyone is enjoying their day.
