Being that it's Valentine's Day I thought I'd share an altered book I've been working on for a while (for the last year actually). I found this Love Poems book at a thrift store and started altering some pages. Just recently I've done some more, adding some personal photographs to it.
In the fourth photo I added a heart punched picture of my mom and dad. In happier times. They were eventually divorced. But I wrote on the ticket for that page: Just because a love doesn't last forever doesn't mean it never was or shouldn't be remembered.
Which will really help me as I scrapbook their courtship and wedding pictures.

This is beautiful. What a wonderful memory it makes.

Wow, you certainly have spent quite a bit of time on this project---it shows! I love the vintage theme and all the 'extras' you have added to make it so very special.
I love looking at altered books. You are creating such a beautiful keepsake. Hope you have it completed by fall so I can see the whole thing IRL.
What a great idea! Love the pages you have altered in your book.
Ooooh Louise, this little book is charming, thanks for sharing with us. Ü
Your Love Poems book is a pure treasure Louise! Happy Valentine's Day! - Kris
Your pages are so special, Louise! I agree - divorce happens; but the happy times in years past still happened and should have a place in our memories! Lovely book!
Louise!
Darling book! Love what you did on the cover! So happy that you are enjoying scrapping your family memories ...
Remember Family is like a tapestry, the back of it messy with threads overlapping in different colors and textures but the front is a work of art!

Great look for your altered book, Louise! What a great title you found to use. I love playing around with various techniques, but haven't yet developed a book around a specific theme. Yours is coming along really well - have fun with it!
Fabulous book Louise, and I like the statement you made with the photo of your parents, very true.
wow what a stunning piece.
I really like your book, wonderful theme to mix with the poem book.

Beautiful book, Louise! I had such fun pouring over each page. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Beautiful and romantic book... I'm not sure I would have had the patience to keep at one project for so long. It's lovely.
I am always drawn to the colors you use and now I see a white layer over your pictures which increases the vintage look. What a beautiful keepsake!
