Cabinet Card Book

I had the pleasure this past weekend of taking 2 classes instructed by Joni Russell of Mrs. O'Leary's Art of Wichita, KS. The classes were taught at the Stamp Asylum (love that name) in Plano, TX.  The following project we constructed in one of the classes.

It is amazing what can be done with chipboard, ink, paper and a bit of waxed linen thread.  Now that the construction is done, I need to fill the pages with vintage pictures.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:
Eclectic Ellapu's  "Anything Goes" challenge
"Anything Goes" challenge at Fussy and Fancy.
