A quick altered book for scrapbook club tomorrow

I found myself wondering, at the last minute, today, what I was going to do for scrapbook club tomorrow morning. I knew I wanted it to be Christmas related, and I also wanted it to be a project or mini album instead of just a layout. I remembered the cart of old surplus library books sitting by the back door just waiting to be discarded. I went and picked out the red ones and immediately "got to work". I cut the innards of the book out and then decorated it with various papers and a POD Christmas words stamp. I cut 8.5X11 page protectors to the size of my paper and sewed them up to be functional again. My crop-a-dile was perfect for punching holes in the protectors as well as through the book. I added a couple of screw posts, and ba da bing, I was ready to go. So, this is what we will be putting together tomorrow morning...I'm excited how cute it turned out, and I think the girls will be too.
