Star book

I made this book for Jared's Mom. Jared helped me by writing out memories he had growing up and then we printed them out on little slips of paper and added them to small removable "cards" in this book. The cover and imagery in the book was inspired by a song she used to sing to him and how she always calls her home her "nest" and her kids her "chick's". Red is also her favorite color and it seemed perfect for the "heart" of this book. It's probably impossible to see here but there are images of stamped hearts with wings on those pages too. The stamp is from Alpha Stamps "Set of heart icons".

I hate that so much detail in art is lost when you photograph it. I feel like everything looks soooo much better in person than it does here. *sigh*
