Altered book

I am taking part in another circle journal. This time i wanted a book the pages could be taken out to be decorated. I found a guest book at a little used store in town and started to tear it apart. It has the binder type pages so it was just what I was looking for and I only payed one dollar for it. It was about two inches bigger then in this photo to start with. I had to cut it down to fit the size restrictions the hostess set for this journal.
