Reuse old unused maps and make a bookmark with them.
Welcome to the Old Paper Store. I repurposed vintage books and vintage ephemera and put together bundles of interesting images, word and numbers. Ready to use in projects like Art journals, scrapbooking, junk journals and decoupage. Have fun looking through my shop. 15 piece Vintage Map pack These packs contain 15 Pieces of vintage Maps. The pieces vary in size, style, age, colour and paper thickness. The photos shown are a representation of what you'll receive. Please bare in mind that although all the packs have similar items in them, they are one offs, no two are the same. I try very hard to select the best quality papers but please remember that theses pages have had previous lives and will show small signs of age such as creases, foxing, smudges and small tears. But their former lives are also what makes them awesome. If you are at all unsatisfied with the items you receives please message me. I am happy to accept returns and do refunds and resolve any issue. Postage: UK postage, Royal mail 2nd class delivery. Everywhere else , I send my order via Royal mail standard international shipping. This service does not provide a tracking numbers but it is very reliable and I have sent hundreds of orders this way. International shipping can take up to 14 working days to arrive but in most cases it is quicker that this. Thank you for your interest, any questions? Please message me.
After completing my map projects last week, I found a few more brilliant ways to turn maps from blah to TADA! These ones, I came across on Etsy: via Etsy These are seating cards for wedding receptions. The name of the guest is printed in front of the card and the corresponding table number is at the back. They also double as book markers after the wedding. via Etsy Here are stickers made from maps with calligraphy, too! via Etsy Aren't these attractive? These are map star books. When opened, they look like this: via Etsy TADA! via Etsy And finally, cut-outs from maps {and very precise, I might add} that can be used for scrap booking or card making. I can just see cut-outs of trains, planes and automobiles to illustrate a vacation. See you tomorrow!

This old discarded book made into a music box has been a thought rolling around in my head since my Music Box Project Class this year at the Club Scrap retreat. Finally it was time to put it together! AND glad I took the time! Now, this old book has become a cute little keepsake currently sitting on my coffee table. Also at Club Scrap, the Music Box Mechanism was available separately, so I had what I needed to get started. Crank it up and it plays "Fur Elise", love it! On the inside, I cut three nooks from the inner pages. One large enough for the 2"x1-3/4" music box mechanism to go inside, then one for holding maybe photos or jewelry, and the smallest nook holds a little bottle. I made the smallest nook more shallow to accommodate for a secret matchbox drawer below. Cutting a little nook into the pages behind the key hole hardware so the end of the key can fit inside seemed like a good idea too. Well, ya know, while your at it, you might as well do it right! There is a hole drilled through the book's back cover to let the music box crank work freely. Now for a couple pictures concerning the construction. I started with the easiest step, stamping the front cover with the Vogue Love Is Eternity Stamp. Then moved onto cutting the inside pages. Along with all the cutting, I would have to say gluing all the pages together was my least favorite part, but still enjoyed the progress of each step and getting to decorate it in the end, and especially now that it plays music!!! Who else has an altered book that they can crank up? Anyone? Anyone? I wish I could say I carved the heart with wings wooden pc that is now attached to the lid myself, but I happened to see it in the clearance bin at Michaels Craft store. It was bare unfinished wood and attached to a frame, after it got it home I was able to use a large knife to free the glued on heart/wings from the frame. Then it just needed some acrylic paint and distressing before it embellished my altered book music box project. The possibilities of book altering are certainly endless, and this was a really fun altered book to show you, hoping you like! I'm off to crank up my altered book. Kay
