I'm back with part three (the final installment) of the altered Valentine's Day book that I've been making.

I made a few more pages and finished the front and back cover.

How to Make an Altered Valentine's Day Book - Part Three

Then dip it into paint and use it to stamp your pages.

The Puppy Love page has a piece of vintage German scrap with a little boy hugging his dogs! The page on the right has a window cut into the center to see through to the next page.

I glued some vintage sheet music to the page and then painted it white with a dry brush technique so that the paper still shows through.

I used the toilet paper stamp again on the next page.

This portrait was in a picture frame that I bought at a thrift store, I added some rhinestones to her earrings and gave her some hat pins!

 



On the right page is a large vintage Valentine's Day card. It is so pretty with a puffy satin heart in the center.

Here is the inside of the card. It was never used.

For the page behind the card, I made a simple little felt heart with lace trim and a huge rhinestone from an old belt in the center.

I thought this photograph of some men boxing would be a fun addition to the book. I stamped "I'll Fight For You"!

 

On the right is a little love fairy!



Another vintage wedding photograph, I gave the bride a new bouquet 😄

The February calendar from 1952 was on the back of one of the scraps that were originally in the book!

On the right, I used scraps from some of the hearts I used in other parts of the book.

I gave this soldier a new sign that says "I love you"... his old sign was ugly and said "Merry Christmas love Leo".

On the left is another vintage Valentine and on the right I glued a piece of pink tulle to the inside back of the book with vintage buttons and added a fun tag I made.

And here's the very back where I signed and dated my work.
