Well with Valentines day about a week and half away, now is the time to get started on those special handmade gifts for the loved ones in your life. This altered book project is that special something to make and customize to your liking. Its not only good for Valentines day, but perhaps a special Anniversary or even just a birthday. The very talented Christina Clouse(Be sure to check out her blog, its full of amazing work she creates)has put together this beautiful tutorial using an old recycled hard cover book, so its somewhat Eco friendly as well and inexpensive :) Thank you Christina!
