Great scrappy and I like piecing on phone book pages too! In fact I have stock piled a few as I think they will be obsolete soon. Fewer and fewer people even have a landline nowadays.

Hey that's a good use for printer paper that has just a few lines on it. I get the real cheap thin paper

This is such a pretty scrappy......the white borders really set it off so nicely. Love it.

There is a stack of phone books at the office and they are still in original plastic. Now I know what I can do with it....
