A Book for Love Notes

Receiving or writing a Love Note is always so exciting especially when it comes from the heart.. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it is the perfect time to create a book just for love notes. It only takes a minute or less to write a sweet note. Just a one-liner can let someone know how much they are loved. 

I created a home decor piece that is also a small notebook for writing love notes. This book could be placed on a stand so notes could be quickly written. Everyone will be checking the book daily looking for a special love note from the heart.. 

Take a look: 







There are pages inside the book for love note writing.





This was such a fun project to create. I had been so inspired by the work of Anita Houston and Annette Green when I saw projects they designed using this Rockstar stamp that I wanted to give it a try.
