an kind of an altered book
above is the cover - Sophie covered it in some fabric from her childhood along with a few cut out heads and a button from a cardigan that she wore when she was 3.
above is Sophie's page - the page is hand made paper, a few altered photos and a friendship cloth badge
and this one above is Joe's mother's page - Sophie's grandma - she was related to the indonesian royal family wayyyyyyy back - so Sophie did the royal flush with playing cards ( I think that is what it is called)
wanna see all of it? ~ altered art books

What a great keepsake! I used to do altered books in round robins and such, and I absolutely loved it. I stopped doing them when I started this art course though because they took up too much time. I'll have to post some pictures to my blog of my books one of these days.
I think it's great that you have such a special keepsake from your daughter when she was younger.
So very cute! and I love the little added touches like the button. Very sweet!

Oh she did an awesome job!!
WOW!
That's beautiful!
It's adorable. I love love love the cover! I've got two altered books on the go, but they are real books (old ones) the kind you read!xoxo
Very nice altered book. I've done several and they are very time consuming. Really love swapping too but due to my daughter getting married mid November I can't do this one. Have a beautiful swap and I'll try to get in on next one.

Hi Robyn,
well I think you can still remember when I made my first altered book last year in October and November (pictures are still in my blogs archive) so just to let you know that usually to make an altered book, you take any old book that you don't need anymore and start to alter it by pasting pages together, tearing out pages, then painting, collaging, embelleshing etc. the pages and the cover. What your daugter does is called scrapbooking! I thought you might want to know.
Here is a link to how to make altered books:

Oh my I'm still thinking about joining your swap, maybe I could make just a small book. *thinks*
I haven't done any altered book before. I would like to take part of this challenge for sure. I will do some more research and then I will let you know. Thank you very much!
