Home is Heaven for Beginners

Combination of an altered book page with some digital extras....I like doing this to get an idea of what my page needs. I can experiment without ruining the original.

"In Paris" Altered Book Page

Paris Altered Book Page

This quote in French is from Ernest Hemingway - "There are only two places in the world where we can live happy:  at home and in Paris."

Home is Where the Heart Is - Book of Days

“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.”
― Edith Sitwell

Home is that special place where one always feels comfortable in your own skin - things just feel right somehow. It is the place that you always yearn to get back to, no matter how wonderful the trip.

I hope I caught some of the feeling of home in this double page spread in my Book of Days. I used a pocket in this one, some tags, and a vintage photo on vellum.
