For the hop today, I've created a Vintage Valentine Book. In December I had the amazing opportunity to take 5 classes at my Local Scrapbook store. The teacher was Lance from Rusty Pickle. One of the classes was to start a mini book. I would like to share a couple ideas from this book. Some of the pages were cut in 1/2, 1/3's and slanted. Some were made into pockets. However the coolest thing was the cover. We took a small crock pot (like the kind you use for candy) and melted Bees Wax. You can find a block at any craft store.
Once the wax is melted you brush it on the cover with a sponge brush. I applied several coats and love the way it looks and feels.
This is pick heavy but hope it will give you ideas for a book you would like to make. For my book once I finished putting it together I added vintage valentines and rose stickers to the smaller pieces. I left the large pieces open for pictures. I also used Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink to age the valentines, stickers, and papers.
