Club Scrap Literature Blog Hop

Welcome Everyone to October's Club Scrap Blog Hop!  If you have arrived from Tricia's amazing blog then you're in the right place!  This month we are featuring the Literature Kit and I must say that when I first received this kit I had an idea that I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to pull off so let's see what you think...

Of course since the theme this month was literature I was thinking books but what type of book???  So I was sorting through some goodies I had laying around in my room, trying to get stuff put away when I came upon a glass jar full of matchbooks and matchboxes that my youngest son got in a box lot at an auction we went to long ago.  He didn't want them so he thought I might be able to do something with them at some point.  It did inspire me but not how you might think....


I made a mini bookcase filled with mini matchbook accordion albums!!  The book case was constructed from book board from assorted Book Board pieces and painted with DecoArt Elegant Finish Metallic Paint (Rich Espresso).  The top decorative piece was cut from chipboard using a Sizzix Die.  It stands less than 9" tall and is not quite 3.5" wide.



Each of the 12 matchbook mini albums was made in 2 pieces - the outside matchbook cover and the inside accordion album.  All of the supplies used (except the ink) was included in this month's kit.  I will share all of the dimensions and how to stuff tomorrow but these pics give you a bit better look at the little albums.


These little gems could be filled with journaled memories, mini photos or even bits of ephemera with a little story about why they are special to you.  Well, what do you think?  I normally give my creations away because I just can't keep everything but I had so much fun making this little book case I think I have to keep it...at least for a while.

Thanks for stopping by...
hope you are inspired to create today!
Your next stop on this fun filled hop is...

    this is fantastic.
    Looks so realistic.
    Could be used in my miniature
    Santa's workshop.
    Great job of building the
    cabinet and covering the
    "books".
    thanks for sharing.
