altered board book - cover

I'm taking part in altered board book swap hosted by Cathy and I started making my book today.
I completed the cover. I will do inner pages next month.

My partner's favorite color is green and she likes foreign print, she does not want her book to be girly or frilly.

I like green too, and I can get "foreign" print easily (as I am in Japan).
But this swap is a bit challenging for me - I have a daughter and I scrapbook for her so it's my first time to make something not girly.

And, this is my "not-so-girly" cover.


altered board bookなるものを作る交換会に参加しておりまして、今日つくりはじめました。
私のパートナーは緑が好きで、あと外国の紙モノが好きで、ガーリーな感じは嫌だと言うのですが、これが結構難しい。
緑は私も好きだし、外国の紙モノなんて彼女にとっての外国である日本にいる以上簡単に入手できますが、娘がいるのでどうしても何をつくるにもガーリーなんですよ私…
ってなわけで、ガーリーでないもの初挑戦ですが、どうでしょう。

another digital layout

I should have made this layout last year - My dd in this photo is 5 or 6 months old. Now she still loves the book in the photo.

随分前の写真を使ったレイアウトです。5ヶ月とか6ヶ月の頃の。
