birthday art

I've been busy working on a gift for Dan's 60th - I gave him a book of memories and notes from 60 friends and family but since it was a secret, it was hard to find time to do all the emails, design, print, and assemble the book.  But it was worth it!

Here's the finished product.... I made the cover - covered chipboard with scrapbook paper...not too hard.  I was out of time to really make it more....


The lighting makes it look yellower than it is, but you get the idea.  I used the rings so I could add any late-comers that might show up :), plus it was easiest.  I used digital brushes etc for the page decor and then used an occasional splash of washi to jazz things up.  The best part?  His smile and chuckles as he read through memories from his childhood, college and working days.
