I am a little late posting for Valentine's Day, but wanted to share this little mini book (4 X 4 5/8" H) I made. It focuses on Valentine's Day, but would be perfect for a little "Love" book anytime. I used White "Prima Mulberry Paper Small Budding Roses" to decorate the cover and throughout the book. They came on a wire stem and in a cluster of 12. I cut them off the stem and used Zip Dry Glue to attach. I've had them for a while, so not sure if they are still available. The paper for the cover was pink with blue polka dots. I put a layer of tiny clear glass beads on top (applied a coat of Glossy Accents first, then sprinkled on the glass beads). Really cool--the cover looked totally different.
Page by page . . .
Page 1: (Inside front cover) features a little fold-out set of hearts. "Christmas Red" Stickles and tiny half pearls used here and there throughout the book.
One side of the fold-out hearts.
The other side of the fold-out hearts. It folds back up and is tied with a ribbon.
Page 2: Features see-through pocket with tag.
Page 3: German paper scrap with "Love" rub-on in the background. "Christmas Red" Stickles highlighting the rub-on.
Page 4: I sewed tiny pearls around the edge of this page. The lace is cut out of paper with a paper punch, inked, and "pinched" to give it a gathered look before gluing down.
Page 5: I punched tiny holes around the edge of this heart and hung a tiny gold heart charm in each hole. More paper lace and hand stitching around the heart.

Page 8: The entire book was made with scraps left over from other projects: Rubons, German Scraps, ribbon, and other odds and ends. The heart book is made from AccuCut Book Heart Die Set.
