I took an old book (I work in a library where discarded books abound!) and removed the cover, keeping it intact. Then I painted the cover front and back with Black acrylic paint. I let it dry thoroughly and added the designer paper inside and outside. Next I adhered 4 matchboxes to each other and wrapped them with more Mocha Morning Specialty paper.
I really appreciate you stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my projects! If you have time, please leave a comment - I would love to hear from you. And come back again if you are so inclined!

Lisa these are ALL fabulous! I have the set but have even used it yet... now I can't wait.
That book box is GREAT! LOVE that. So glad you showed an open view. The DSP just makes it all the more special. TFS.
Hugs.
Three beauties!
These projects are so beautiful, but that book is just the best!
They are all gorgeous, but the book/box is simply amazing. WOW! Gorgeous, gorgeous details. TFS
LISAAAAAAAAAA!!!

The book idea is great--perfect way to reuse! I love the vintage card, but the traditional card made me go WOW!
Wow, that book box is really neat. Thanks for sharing
Both cards are absolutely splendid, and the book box is brilliant! Can't wait to try that!
All are beautiful! Using the cover of a discarded book and creating your own 'innards' is a wonderful idea. So much better than hollowing out a book...which I'd never attempt anyway.
Wow Lisa!! Beautiful work with this set as usual! Very inspirational as I just got this one!!! TFS!
Great job Lisa!! I really really love the purple card and the book box is just wow!!! So great and I'm flippin over that mocha morning paper, gotta gotta get me some!
Fantastic projects Lisa another set on my list
LOVE that last one - wouldn't it just make the most awesome hostess gift?
I am totally smitten with your garden fence card, Lisa--and your book box is just too much!

Great projects! I love that garden fence card, it is beautiful! and what a great use for an old book, too!

I just love your vintage style. The bow on the book box is beautiful! You have so many delightful details--the little bent corners, layers and multiple textures-- lovely!!
This is fantastic, I too work at a library and see many opportunities for those old books. Rats, we just got rid of some books, we had a book sale for the last two weeks and the remainder of the books were taken to another location. Thanks for the wonderful idea, I will try it with chipboard.
OMG!! Love all these projects!! I will be featuring your box on My Crafty Picks #27 with a link back to your blog on 7-31-11. If you wish to decline please email me at trbauer@insight.com
Take care

All your projects are fabulous, but I love, love, love the book/box! TFS!
Lisa, your projects are just awesome! The vintage card is my favorite, but the "garden fence" runs a pretty close second. Your book box is a great way to showcase the awesome paper.
