This project is tiny in number of participants, not really in book size. Just four participants; This project was designed to bring the books home more quickly and give an immediate sense of accomplishment, because some of the other projects were so plagued with delays and such.
My theme for my book was 'Four Seasons of Love' the first in a series of Four Seasons books I had intended to create. I divided a book on wedding toasts and vows into four quarters and created an introductory page for each, then filled in the Spring section myself. Some of these pictures are of terrible quality... I didn't look at them before I mailed the book out, so some of these will be replaced once my book is returned.

The theme of this book was "All about Me".
Wow! I didn't know Amy very well so this would be a challenge.
I emailed a friend of mine that was close to her for a few hints and came
up with the following:

Shelby's theme for her book was "Animals that share our World". Considering how many animals share my house, let alone my world, it is needless to say that I had *lots* of ideas. I started off with a layout for each of the animals in my house (two cats, a dog and a rabbit) and finished with a layout dedicated to one of my favourite creatures ever (the dragonfly). Don't mind the terrible airbrushing job on the edges, I was editing out my messy desk!
While the layout below is one of my favourites, it didn't photograph well. Across the bottom is a metal screen, to represent a fence. The page was chalked with green on the bottom and a horizon just over the fence fading into blue.
The background of this page and the tag are walnut ink dyed. The small brass tag in the upper left corner reads "dream", and the tag, edges scorched, has a dragonfly poem by Tennyson.
