This is another scrapbook I made in relation to a piece of writing I had to submit for uni. This is a development of the previous Amsterdam scrapbook I recently uploaded photos of. This one is much smaller, and just generally nicer and better in every way. It’s more delicate and (hate to say it) cute. The pages are made of copies of vintage Amsterdam maps I have accumulated. I made the book as a pocket book so you can put souvenirs and keepsake inside it as well as write in it too.

OMG OMG

THIS.

I love Poe :D
