Charity here with a tutorial on how to make and old book beautiful again. Vintage books are most wonderful to me and finding one with a favorite poem in it is an extra serving of whipped cream. I found this beauty while out thrifting. The pages have enough space for embellishment and so I did!
~ The Owl and the Pussy Cat ~
Before we start here is a look at the book, a gorgeous slim volume of verse bound in green with an embossed cover.
As you can see there is plenty of room on the pages for beautification. I kept the additions simple, Stamps on Foiled Paper with fussy cutting.
This pig with wings from Joy Clair stamps has a vintage flavor. It is right at home here in this beautiful book.
To put it all together I used ScraPerfect adhesive.
The Best Glue Ever holds the glossy foiled paper securely. Spread it thin and let it dry to a translucent finish.
The finished product meshes well with the page design and leaves space on the pages. The shine of the Foiled Paper adds a luxurious touch. Look for more illustrated poems in the coming days. This quick and easy project was perfect for Rinea Ghost Ink on Foiled Paper and ScraPerfect’s Best Glue Ever.

Scrap On!
