A book for my sister's 50th birthday.
♥
I wanted to make something special for my sister, Valerie, to commemorate her 50th birthday, so I came up with a plan to make a mini-book with 50 photos of her.
For the record, 50 is a whole lot of photos! The book wasn't so "mini" by the time I was done, so I also covered a box to store the bulky little book in.
I kept the black/white/hot pink theme consistent throughout, and I absolutely LOVED working on this project!
Many times while I was working on this, I found myself thinking,
"My gosh, I love this woman. I'm so glad she is my sister!"
The construction of this book took longer than I'd anticipated, and Valerie's gift ended up being a couple of weeks late {sorry, V} but I hope she felt it was worth the wait.
Yay! I made something.
