This is my vintage valentines itty bitty book swap the before picture I'll show you the after when this sweet little book arrives for some wonderful photos of the most recent pages visit Maryanne McKeating at follow your bliss http://firstborn.wordpress.com/
I have used a valentines I made last year as the base the newly wedded couple with lace and love around them. I then added a photo of a rose in my garden...4th of July to the right hand corner, with sweet photocopied ephemera from my collection roses and the little children. the words"will you be my queen of Hearts?" are from a newly found vintage valentines from the 1930's. I was so excited to find this stash. I thought I only had postcards and hadn't realized there were many valentines in this little cigar box!
