Welcome to my home…
On my front door you will see my version of an Easter Book Page and Tissue Paper Wreath.
I have been working on my Valentine Shelves and thought you might like to see the Book Page Valentine Art I made last week. I am really liking it, AND it was easy peasy!!
Doesn’t it look great for Valentine’s Day?? I love making anything with book pages, so I could not resist making book page Valentine art.
I started out with 2 book pages from a vintage dictionary I bought from the thrift store. I sealed them together with a glue stick. Using a cookie cutter as my guide,
Using a cookie cutter as my guide, and a pencil, I traced around the heart.
I used just very little paint, so you could see shades of red, not just a red painted heart. Some areas are darker than others, wwhich is the look I was hoping for.
This picture is a good example of what I mean. There are various shades of red depending on how little or how much paint I had on my brush. I tried hard to define the points and curves on the heart, so it didn’t look like a blob from a distance. Besides that, It looks perfect with my Valentine Polka Dot Bunting I shared with you on Saturday.
Finding the perfect frame for my Book Page Valentine art was easy. I like to use empty frames for decorating all around our home, this one is from the living room. I placed the book page Valentine art in the frame a put it on my kitchen shelves. Just the way I pictured it!!
What do you think, are you going to make some book page Valentine art ?? Let me know if you do, I really would love to hear about it.

Hello Hello!! I am excited today to share a tutorial for a Mothers Day Book Page Garland. It’s super easy and perfect for a Mother’s Day decor!!
So, here we go!!
Elements needed:
Chipboard cards
Paint
Stencils
Twine
Fan Folded Book Pages
Hole Punch
I found these fabric covered chipboard cards at Michaels (4 in a package). The package was labeled “Journal”, but I thought I could use them for a garland incorporating it with my book page garland.
I used craft paint along with my stencils. Pink was just the right color!! Love it.
Doesn’t it look great so far??
Using the same technique as I did with my book page garland, I had a Mother’s Day Garland in no time at all.
Wouldn’t she be so pretty hanging above your buffet table for Mother’s Day Brunch or Tea??
Book page banners are so easy to make. I think your mom needs a Mothers Day Book Page Garland, don’t you? This garland would also be great for a graduation party, Father’s Day, birthdays, you name it-it works.
Happy Thursday everyone! It’s a great week full of Summer temps and activities. I had a blast sharing my DIY Vintage Book Page Pinwheel with the grandkiddos when they were here last week. They are SO easy to make AND they REALLY work!
You first saw the DIY Vintage Book Page Pinwheels a few days ago with my Easy July 4th Party Buffet. All this week is the Red, White, and Blue Inspiration Blog Tour with 16 of the most creative people I know. I hope you have been following along for all the 4 of July ideas you could ever want. Look here for all the details.
When I showed you my July 4th Party Buffet, I told you I would show you how to make your own DIY Vintage Book Page Pinwheel. It’s easy peasy and looks festive on any Summer table.
