Recycling Books?

I can't quite believe that this is my first layout of 2015.
I even went to a crop last weekend but didn't scrap.

To be honest, I only JUST pulled this one out of the bag too.

You see, my house looks like a craft shop at present.

Every downstairs room has a stack of items to sell.

Luckily for me, my family are very understanding and despite

walking into it and knocking it over, they seldom "tut"!

Anyway, CH#2 on the Counterfeit Kit blog is to create a project using an old book/newspaper/magazine page.

Recently I have been creating folded books

and in the process raising money for The Child to go to Nepal with

her Fire Cadet group in November.
They are heading over there to build a school for the children in the mountains.

I also sell patterns for you to fold your own book so you can honestly say that you handmade a gift for someone special.

But, this is obviously not scrapbook related (although I suppose it is a project)

so I got my thinking cap on, took a look on Pinterest and found some origami ideas...

 I think the butterfly is a little too big so I used the clever little heart bookmark
and created....

Tutorials for the butterfly and heart can be found HERE and HERE

How will you use a book page(s) on your project?

Do you agree with altering books or should books just be used as reading material?

Make sure you link up so we can all see your creations.
