It was kinda eerie for me because I started to make this book earlier in the week. I thought it would be great to have an album of everything I am so lucky to have. I made this particular one for a dear friend to match this card. I know the Christmas colors are kinda bright and definitely not the right holiday, but I like to shake it up. :-)
I used some Reminisce pattern paper, a MME ticket stub, a Michael's pick, Pink Paislee stickers which I colored with a Copic marker and then glittered, a doily, a feather for luck, some buttons, and a homemade stick pin. Did I mention how I love making these?
The board book is from Michael's. I left the inside blank for my friend to decorate as she sees fit. I hope she will like it.
And as I leave you this evening, I just want to tell my daughter how much I love her and will always try to protect her whether she is 15 or 50. It's my honor. My love will never fade nor will it be driven away. It will remain true and pure forever. I love you J-bird!

Oh Amy this is so stunning! I love your wonderful idea to create a book for all occasions, life is so special that it should be remembered and cherished in every possible way. I too am praying for Japan, what a terrible natural disaster to experience. :(
