In the second week of Sketchbook Skool we played around with making small books. I posted the first one that was made from an 8 1/2 by 11" sheet of paper, neatly folded and cut to make 8 pages. It was perfect for my little caterpillar story. I showed that in an earlier post.
The second kind of book
Jill Weber suggested was to use an accordion style folding; it offers a different way of telling a story. I decided to make a little celebration for my mom's upcoming birthday in April.
Our birthdays were always special - never over the top in extravagant gifts or outings; when I was young, finances didn't allow that kind of expenditure. But the generosity was clear in the attention to details. From being sung awake in the morning, to a favorite meal, followed by a sumptuous cake, you knew it was YOUR day.
I won't be able to visit mom for her birthday this year so I thought I'd send the party to her!
