Self Portrait Fun








This mini book is based on Jane Deans workshop at the GoGo Retreat, sadly, I was not well on the Sunday and stayed in my room, so I was unable to attend the workshop. Real bummer, because although I loved all the classes and teachers, I was looking forward to Janes the most. Anyway, I made this book using products from the workshop kit and JD's instruction sheet for the topper and then adapted my own style for the rest!

The photos are of my 2nd DGS Nathan that he took a couple of weekends ago while self portraiting with my camera. The photos made me laugh so much, that I knew I just had to use them in some way and the spinning topper on this mini book was the perfect solution!

It also fills the criteria for the Arty Girlz challenge #38 which is 'Faces'

Nathan, Nana will put your little book in the post to you. xx
