A Unique Handcrafted Canadian Gift
Pages From The Heart are an adaptation of the altered book craft,......an old fashioned way of expressing sentiments, often felt, but too often kept within....a gift of poetry and images on the pages of an old book. Made from real books that have been rescued from the recycling bins of the Niagara region of Canada.

Pages from the heart are a three dimensional , hand molded Ornamental gift, taking the form of an old book,that has been left open at a much loved page ,the gift books are hand painted and decorated with 3 D paper tole and embellishments .
It is difficult to display pictures that do justice to the gift books 3D aspect, the bigger the picture the better, but as we all know, multiple large files on one site take forever to load (and we don't all have broadband yet) so what we have decided to do, is to display just a few of these larger images of the gift books dotted around the pages website as decoration, these will hopefully better depict the 3D paper tole and decoupage elements of this unique handmade gift .The main gallery displays at random all gift book designs they are displayed as the flat artwork templates, just as they look before they are added to the gift book,,before decoupage or embellishment has taken place ,take a look around. The images are clickable and when clicked take you to a larger image where you may get a better view of the verses that are accompanying the graphics, for your convenience there is an order now button at foot of each image, that will transport you to the Pages from the Heart gift store page from where you may purchase that design.
Currently I am working on theme albums for Pages of the Heart gift books, where the images are displayed with a text file of its verse beside it, because some of the Pages gift books have longer verses as part of their design these verses are not quite as legible in the uniform settings of the slideshow gallery as I would like them to be. But this is a work in progress.
Because Pages gift books are each individually handcrafted they can be personalized in a few ways which always increases tremendously the sentimental value of the gift.There are four levels of customization available ,you can learn more about this on the following pages.

Pages from the Heart is run from my
own home,so I do not post online our phone number, for one reason I have teenage daughters so you would not get through
But primarily I don't feel it is a wise thing to do. Of course after we have established a relationship of trust,
of course I will then share our number in a private e mail to you.If so desired
