"Thing of Beauty" finished

[wiseheart]

That's right. The baby book is complete now, so I thought I'd offer a general sight of all pages.

First the front page:



The inside of aforementioned front page and the inside of the back page, with elwenlj's beautiful booklet integrated:



Here are pages 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11. Behold the photo mats inserted into the pages:



Followed by pages 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12:




These close-ups have already been posted earlier, hence the tag, but I wanted to give you a complete view.

Page 2 with "Baby Statistics" tag:



Several close-ups from the same two pages, with flaps closed, partially open and fully open:



And finally Page 1, with the window card that caused me sooo much pain:




Oh, and unrelated but not least important:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, dear sammydragoncat!

I hope everything is all right with you, my friend. It has been too long since I last heard from you. *hugs*

Finished!!! Yay!
It looks really lovely.

Thanks! :) I'm quite happy with the outcome, despite the setbacks — and I'm relieved that it's done. Now I can return to Velcro sewing, since my fingertips have recovered... well, more or less. ;))

You've done it, and it turned out very beautiful! I love that window and am very fascinated by the birdhouse tree!

The birdhouse three is beautiful, isn't it? And it was just a simple bookmark we got from one of the charities we support as a thank-you gift! As soon as I saw it I knew it had to be incorporated into something meaningful and pretty.

It’s wonderful! A thing of beauty indeed.

Really gorgeous. I love the bird theme!

Pretty.

Those are just such wonderful gifts — I am sure they are treasured by the recipients.

[elwenlj.livejournal.com]

It certainly is a thing of beauty. I hope the recipient appreciates all the hard work that went into creating that.

Thank you! :)

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

It all started with elwenlj's lovely booklet and grew out of that bird on the front page. :)

Thanks. :)

Oh, this time I'm quite certain they will. I. and her daughters always valued hand-made gifts.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

This time I can rest assured about that. I've given them hand-made gifts before and they always valued those very much.

Your "thing of beauty" really is! It turned out lovely. Store bought is nice, but hand-made is truly precious.

That's gorgeous. Something that the child will treasure forever.
