I have been culling out old decorating books and have been ripping out pages of pictures and ideas I like and just ended up with a stack of loose papers when I saw Brenda's (CozyLittleCottage) wonderful inspiration books so I thought I'd have a try.
I started off with a book just like this but with a purple cover so that really set the colour scheme for me.
At $1.95 each I thought these books were great value. I tried (really I did!) to use all my stock paper and letters but I may have bought just one packet of letters.
This is my book with my initials on the front. When DNo 1 and SNo1's girlfriend saw this they just loved it so I have made them one each also one for DNo 2! I'm not sure which one to give each of them so I think I might wrap them then let them choose.
The girls are all keen cooks so I thought they could use them to paste in recipes they have collected. Me, I'm past getting excited about cooking so ideas for the farm house and the beach house will fill mine.
The green covered book I am going to cover ready for my photography class which I hope starts this week.
Happy Monday,
Suzy
PS I still have my pile of loose pages to paste in!!

What a beautiful transformation! it inspires me to do the same!! love it! Thanks for sharing!
These are really gorgeous! GREAT JOB!
Hey! This is fantastic! I thought at first you'd do what a lot of others have done and that is rip the cover off revealing the pages then binding books together - love the colorful books - my daughter would too!
