When you scrap-book, you take snippets and photos of your life and stick them in a big, empty book so you can look back on them and see what you've accomplished.

With simple supplies like scrap book paper and paint, you can easily convert them into chic and affordable gift boxes, flower vases or handy dispensers.

I drew around the pictures in the scrap book and made tiny living worlds around the food and it has always stuck with me.
