Finally catching up!

I've been terrible about updating.

Anyway, the quest for May was Portals and I pondered it for a while before this idea came to me. It's an actual book. It's not done yet but it's close. It's 12 pages. Each page has a door or window in it that reveals the page below. You can open all of the doors and windows (except one.) It's been a challenge! I have the pages all printed and engineered. Now I'm going to embellish the pages and then bind it.

This is the only way I could think of to share it. I have two slideshows, one with photos of the actual book, the other of the page files. When looking at the files you see a page, and the next page is the back of that page and so on.

The Book:
Portals: The Book

Portals: The Pages

And the final batch:

Next batch of letters:

Here are the pages for the last few of weeks. I was really happy to be able to do the cover for Sean and Connor's new book and worked that into one of the pages. The one for Amused was fun, I couldn't decide on a paper so I used them all! (okay, I didn't use them all, but I used a lot.)

I've been working on the February Adventure Quest, which is The Adjective Project. We're to come up with an adjective that describes us for each letter of the alphabet and create a project using them. I'm nearly done! I'm working on 'V' right now. They are sort of hybrid scrapbook/art journal style but they are my style so that's okay. Here is the first batch, more to follow.

Thanks to a very generous friend who donated the printing costs I was able to donate the Glamnation Scrapbook for auction to benefit Charity: Water, a charity that Adam is affiliated with which brings clean water to people in developing nations. The book brought an amazing (to me) $500! The generous recipient received the book from the printer today and sent these photos:
