Nili is a young makeup artist, her mum told me. She has apparently been
doing professional looking makeup since she was 7 and actually did
the makeup for a local amateur theatre production a couple of years ago.
She also has her earphones on literally all the time, mum said, with her
phone in her hand, watching Netflix. The colour scheme for her Bat Mitzvah
celebration was black and gold. I used some artistic license and added a
few spots of colour as well.
I showed Nili busy making a YouTube video for her
channel on the cover of her album. She is surrounded by makeup, on the
table in front of her and on the white shelves, like those in her bedroom,
behind her. She is wearing earbuds and holding her phone, which in fact
shows her YouTube channel on the screen. Finally, I added music notes in
the background since mum told me that she loves singing and has a
seriously beautiful voice. Some makeup brushes appear in two corners of
the cover.
I decorated five pages inside Nili's album. The first page, above, showed
her precious phone, with Nili herself one the screen. I also included the
Netflix, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube logos. Next I added some music notes
to illustrate her passion for singing. A makeup bag and more makeup appeared
after that. "Oh she loves her makeup!" mum wrote to me.
The following page, which appears to have been her favourite if you have
watched the video I shared at the top of this post, shows the family dogs,
Aish and Belle and their cute white hamster too, below. I was already
quite familiar with both dogs since Aish appeared on Emmy's album and both
dogs features in the
family portrait.
Mum told me that one page of Nili's Bat Mitzvah
book had to have something to do with McDonald's on it.
It seems that she is rather partial to their Chicken McNuggets! I
cut out some of the favoured nuggets and added a small pot of tomato
ketchup. Then I crafted a tiny version of the red McDonald's french fry
box and made sure to add the Golden Arches, the symbol of
the restaurant chain. Apparently real arches were originally part
of the restaurant design. They were incorporated into the chain's logo
in 1962, which resembled a stylised restaurant, and in the current
Golden Arches logo, introduced 1968, resembling an "M" for "McDonald's".
They are widely regarded to be one of the most recognisable logos in the
world.
Mum was delighted with the book and later sent me the clip of Nili opening
it. "She loooves it!!" mum wrote to me. That's all I needed to know.

That is so great! Love all the personalized details.
Love the details and the shots of her opening it!
The details are so adorable in this album. The animals and makeup must have been fun to create!
The album is beautiful and Nili is clearly thrilled with it in the video. I love the little white hamster! xx
What a delightful card you made for her! Great you also showed her reaction:) Finally I am making the rounds for my new blog. Had to delete my old one. Too messy trying to fix it! (one word) living between two realms (.) wordpress (.) com Have a lovely week, Lisa
Such lovely details, such a great idea! #MMBC
Aw, it's no wonder Nili looks so made up with her Bat Mitzvah book, it's brilliant. x
She sounds like such a talented young lady and you captured her creative spirit for sure. Pinned.
What a fabulous album! I'm sure it will be treasured for ever. The dogs are particularly lovely - but I would think that! #pocolo
what a sensible girl - how quickly we've adapted to become more flexible with our changing arrangements. Thanks for sharing with #PoCoLo
