the dock and an Inspiration Book.


Here's a new scrap page I made last night.


And here is an Inspiration Book I made out of all of my scrapbook magazines. If you're like me, you just cannot walk by a scrap mag with out buying it. This makes for a lot of used up storage space for a bunch of mags that I don't look at anymore. 

I really didn't want to just pitch them because, let's face it, I bought the mag for a reason once upon a time and they cost a butt load. So my solution was to go through them all (roughly 120 mags) and cut out the pages that inspire me. 


I pasted them into a plain sketch book and added notations about what caught my eye. I then separated all the pages and bound the book together with a coil using my Cinch. The dumb thing I did, however, was to cut off the credit of who made the dang page. I'm a dolt. I usually take pride in giving credit to whomever inspired me so I feel like an asshole. Mental note to keep them the next time I paste something into my book from the next scrap mag I am sure to purchase. It's a sickness, really.


Ske-doosh.

Love the page! I have been scrapping lately too. Is the Glassine bag on the page swen shut, or for more pictures? An inquiring mind wants to know??

Okay first off love the page! Secondly I have about a Bazillion scrap magazines and yes I just can not "not" buy them-it's a sickness really:) But I am starting to have way to many to store so this little book of yours it a fantastic idea plus I will not have to dig through each magazine page that I dog earred for future refference. You are DA BOMB!
