Shalva's name appears at the top and the Hebrew date of her Bat Mitzvah
celebration is at the bottom of the album's cover. Hebrew dates are written
right-to-left with the day of the month, followed by the month name, then the
Hebrew year. The Gregorian calendar date is below the Hebrew one.
I decorated five pages inside Shalva's album. The first page has a Harry
Potter theme. I cut out a tiny broomstick, similar to the one Harry was given
when he joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team. I added the black Sorting Hat
and a cauldron for brewing and holding potions, below.
The last two illustrated pages in Shalva's album show various maths
symbols, representing her interest in the subject, and some anime characters too.
The word anime - pronounced "ah-knee-may" - is an abbreviation of the word
animation. In Japan, the word is used to refer to all animation. However,
outside of Japan, it has become the catch-all term for animation from Japan.
Shalva's mum was very pleased with the album and decided that she would like
to use my cover illustration for other things at the Bat Mitzvah celebration.
(I offer this as a package. Please discuss it with me if you are interested in
doing something similar). I scanned the cover for her and she made these cute
laminated labels which were placed on top of the napkin of each place setting
at the party. The labels were also stuck on each party bag that Shalva's
friends took home, above.
The next page has a baking theme, above. I added some tiny cupcakes, a
mixing bowl, wooden spoon and a spatula. Shalva's mum mentioned that Shalva goes horse riding too, so I cut out a brown horse for the following
page, below.

That's very nicely done and looks perfect for a girl's album ! I must admit I never read a Harry Potter book or saw a movie, but of course he is so famous that everybody knows him unless he crosses our world with closed eyes !
So intrigued by the Hebrew and wishing I had taken opportunities to learn biblical languages!
What a fun idea for a party - totally personalized!
...this will become a wonderful keepsake.
What a fantastic keepsake - especially if all her friends get to sign it. Using the image for other party bits is a great idea. xx
I am not sure what a party bag is, but it sounds like a great way for the guests to have a memory of the simcha.
Fun details! It is so awesome that Harry Potter continues to be popular and gets kids (and adults) to read the series.
Such a brilliant illustration - for the album and the celebration!
You are really creative and skilful.
Stay well, Lisa!
What a fabulous album and I love that she incorporated the album cover into other party décor items too.

What a beautiful album. I love that you can buy a whole party package too. x
Great work! Beautiful album.
Have a nice day :)
