Obviously I was playing around with layering - I think I pushed myself with this - way past my "it looks good" point and added more and more and I think it turned out great! My favorite part are those vintage London postcard stubs - they were perfect for this. And yeah there aren't any pictures - I've never been to London so I'm not really sure what I would do with this - I may turn it into a journal with inserted pages or find photos to go in it or more likely I will leave it as is and pull it out from time to time and just look at it.And yeah I named the post after a Clash song - it's the first thing that pops into my head when I see this book...

That's some serious mojo at work there! Love all the layering, so much to look at!
Love the layering!! With each project you "out-do" yourself!
Gorgeous and oh so creative!
I am so in love with this project!
Beautiful, Melissa! I also want to add that possibly your recycling segment of your trash service will pick up the boxes. I love art as much as the environment, so I'm all about recycling. Thanks for sharing your creations. I am always inspired.

I love London so naturally I love this as well! The layering is perfect. There's so much going on, which is a great thing when you're working with such interesting materials. Wish I had your talent to put together something like this to help organize my pictures from my first trip to London. Hoping it won't be my last!

I am overwhelmed by the creativity and heart in this book! Glad I found you on Twitter!
Too Awesome! The second I saw the post on Reader I had to click to open it right up - immediately the Clash started playing in my head (amusing because I was literally listening to that song yesterday!).
What an amazing album. I just love how it turned out and the look of the layers is ... wow! I love to layer, but I'm always afraid of that 'too much' point so I think I would get scared and stop or leave it!!
such a fun book - i love it! where did you get all that cool paper??? now you need to bop over to london so you can make it a travel journal. ha! i need to use more layering in my journals.
Wow! This is wonderful!
LOVE IT!!! Thanks for sharing!!

I am new to your blog. Found your through Pinterest.
I love your mini album! Upcycling and recycling is my favorite thing to do now. I look at all boxes, containers, packaging so differently now.
You've inspired a lot of us with this great journal/album.
I hear the Clash singing right now!

Melissa, if I were to say that this little 'project' is a masterpiece, I wouldn't be giving you enough credit. This is fabulous! I love it!
I understand about 'the zone' and to stop would be criminal. I'm so happy you didn't! I can't stop looking at it! Thank you so much for sharing! True eye candy!
