I found a friends of the library book sale the uses a bandsaw to cut unwanted discards (the ones they can't sell at a whole paper bag full for a quarter!) into shapes, like a Scottie dog or a cat. The spine still holds it together in book form, but people can use the shaped book as the base for a scrapbook or altered book. I wish I had a bandsaw to make some of my own, but bandsaws are expensive... and I'm not that handy with tools! Probably better than I stay away from power tools.... ;-) I haven’t scrapbooked yet, but I do buy scrapbook paper once in a while to use for ATCs.

I leave the power tools to my husband. Not good with stuff like that! I have yet to make an altered book, but I’ve seen people do amazing things with them. I leave the power tools to my husband.
