This could be glued to a candle and as a finishing touch a ribbon could be tied around the base of candle. A collage of special memoirs could comprise the craft theme for lovers on Valentines Day. It could be a collection of photographs, simple treasures like gift wrappers, old cards or any other special memory.

This gives the address book a perfect Valentines Day touch to it.
