I once took an old book outside and tossed it around in the street to scuff up the cover and give it some bumps and bruises. I tossed it around pretty good. I love it! Thank you for the video 🥰

[@luiseheinzl]

Oh that sounds interesting! Do you have a video about that?

[@marilyn.healey]

I don’t have a video. I could send a picture of the book if you’d like? I love what you did here, tho! I’d never thought to do the papers in that way. It’s perfect 🥰
