Leah Chen's mum told me that her daughter enjoys singing and dancing. She's a huge Potterhead, proudly Ravenclaw, and even dressed up as Luna Lovegood for Purim. She also loves sushi.
Leah Chen's favourite colour is blue, so different shades of blue were chosen
as the colour scheme for her Bat Mitzvah celebration. Mum sent me the Save the
Date and the logo to show me the shades they were using.
The album opens the English way, from left to right, but Mum asked for
the wording to be in both English and Hebrew. The English lettering on
the cover reads "Leah Chen's Batmitzvah September 2026", while the
Hebrew gives the wording as "Leah Chen's Batmitzvah 2026". I generally
write "Bat Mitzvah" as two words, but this customer had requested it as
one word, "Batmitzvah". Flowers in different shades of blue add a
pretty, feminine touch to the cover.
I decorated five pages inside the album. On the opening page, I added
the Bat Mitzvah butterfly logo, followed by a page with musical notes in
the corner. The Ravenclaw logo featured on the next page, with
butterflies and flowers completing the set.
"The book is stunning. Thank you," Mum wrote to me. I hope that Leah Chen loved it too.
I created an album cover showing a bespectacled Leah Chen surrounded
by all the things she loves. On her right, I added the Bat Mitzvah
butterfly logo, a couple more butterflies, and some teeny-tiny sushi
and chopsticks. On her left, I added more butterflies in shades of
blue, musical notes to represent her love of music, and finally the
Ravenclaw logo below them.
"The book is stunning. Thank you," Mum wrote to me. I hope that Leah Chen loved it too.

Very lovely album and so well thought out. I love the light and dark blue colors on the white. What a special treat for Leah for her Bat Mitzvah.
That's beautifully done!
Another wonderful keepsake; I'm sure that Leah was thrilled with it. I'm especially impressed with the tiny sushi and Ravenclaw crest - although, as a confirmed Hufflepuff, I would have preferred a badger! :O) xx
A wonderful keepsake she will treasure for the rest of her life.
This is a beautiful album and how great you could make one for each of the siblings over the years. Fantastic work!
Beautiful! I always enjoy seeing all those meaningful details you add into your designs. Shalom!
Leah looks so cute on your beautiful card! #MMBC
Wonderful cover.
You’ve created a fantastic album, and I’m sure Leah Chen is very happy with it.
It’s the kind of work that brings a great deal of joy—best wishes, Viola.
It really is so beautiful! I love blue in all its shades as well.
I love everything about this album, Lisa, and I can only imagine how touched the recipient was. What a lovely keepsake of this very special milestone in her life! I love the color scheme and all the personal touches and how they intertwine together!
That is a great album! I love how you created her out of paper and I'm impressed how to made a book out of it!
What a lovely keepsake that will be! Your creations reflect your love of not only the subject matter used for that special person, but the skill that you invest as well.
Butterflies are exquisite, but I didn't know they had a connection to bat mitzvahs.
@hels, no connection at all! The Bat Mitzvah girl simply chose butterflies for her invitation!
What a beautiful keepsake album you made for Leah's Bat Mitzvah. Thanks for sharing pictures of it at this blog party. Nancy Andres @ Colors 4 Health.
Such a cute personalized album!
What a treasure! She will always love it, I'm sure. It's just incredible. I love the little sushi and Harry Potter house additions. Thank you for sharing this with us at the Will Blog for Comments #95 linkup.
