A Couple months ago I found this old typewriter book at an antique store in NJ and I fell in Love with it and knew I would alter it some day.
I love the unusual format and I had fun using pictures with this beautiful new line by Prima for CHA. the pictures are all about the normal every day life in my City Hamburg. There is lot’s of pockets – hidden and obvious :

I really love this project with the old typing book! Funny thing, I had that book when I was in high school learning typing. It brings back memories!

Brilliant! Love how you turned an old typewriter book into an alterred scrapbook about your own life. I’m now going to be on the look-out for a book that I can alter. Thank you for sharing, Nat!

This is gorgeous Nathalie. You are very talented. You have just given me a great idea, I wish to scrap a book for my Dad, he was a banker and I have an old bank passbook, which I wanted to incorporate but didnt know how. I will use it as a storage pocket for some photos.
