Hello everyone,
Welcome to a new challenge over at Little Red Wagon and I'm your hostess this week and my challenge for you all is " Christmas in July"
I don't really do much in halves, I cannot help myself when I start something because things keep popping up in my head and I add, and add, and add. so I made a booklet called the 12 days of Christmas and added lots..
This double side very heavy duty paper pad is stunning, I love the slight vintage colours and patterns and ordered another pad that I have hidden away for another day...and the first fold is fold up..this
makes the pockets..
open the papers 12 x12, and fold across, then open fold up and across
and done, that way the papers stays even..
So I have my folded papers and now going to join them all together
with this gingham matarial.
Ta da..
and lovely movement inside so all the papers open flat..
then decoration and ephemera making time..
and started with labels..
perfect..
I used stickers Christmas papers
and made theses circles.
which were popped onto tags
with added red tab tops by tying them on with gold sparkly cord..
Holly loved the doilies
and then another add on.. I printed the 12 days of Christmas
song and cut into strips to add onto the back of each tag..
with a TH paper clip.
the cover..
the end..
So are you singing yet?
Do come and join us HERE
Would love to see you..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you real soon..
Luv CHRISSYxx
