The T of Christmas

I'm getting in the short rows of my tall skinny book ART, but it has been so fun sharing my pages with you. Today I am featuring the T of Chrsitmas! Again, I really like the vintage feel of this page and all of the pages I have created! But, I can't wait to see what I'll be getting back in return for my pages....more great ART work I'm sure!

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts with me. I do appreciate all that stop by and your comments. It's Friday friends so I hope it is a good day for all of you and you find some time for ART over the weekend.

Enjoy your day!

The S of Christmas

My ART for today is the S of Christmas in my tall skinny book for a swap over in An Affair with ART. These were fun pages to do and I used some of my favorite vintage images in creating these. I used this Santa a couple of times and in fact, almost used him on all my pages. These will all go to different people so it didn't matter if we made them all the same or differently...I did a little of both! I'm not expecting to get one of my own pages back so I made me a page like this one and just didn't put a letter on it...it can be my cover! Once I get pages back, I'll try and share them with you too.

Stay tuned because I'll be sharing the rest of my tall skinny book pages with you this week - tomorrow will be the T of Christmas. Thanks for your visit - I always enjoy you stopping by and sharing some thoughts with me. Enjoy your day!

The I of Christmas

I'm still featuring my ART pages for the Christmas tall skinny book over in An Affair in ART - this is the I in Christmas! All of these pages were so fun to create and I love the vintage feel! In fact, it has rather put me in the Christmas spirit and I'm ready for the holidays to begin.

I'm sorry Thanksgiving because I love your season too and I have so much to be thankful for, but Christmas is my favorite all time - not the commercial side, but the loving spirit of what Christmas is really about.

Thanks for stopping by and now I'm off to visit some blogs....your's too!

Enjoy your day!

The R of Christmas

I'm continuing to share ART pages out of my Tall Skinny Book that I'm doing for a swap - today I'm featuring the R page. Each page has a letter from the word Christmas featured somewhere on the page along with Christmas ART. I'm winding down on my swap commitments for this year and have just a few more things on my swap plate....they have all be fun and I usually truly enjoy each and every swap! I'm currently involved in a brown paper bag book Christmas swap and it has just taken over my thinking of late! Once it's done, I'll feature it also.

It's hard to think that Christmas is right around the corner, but indeed it is. I'm beginning to get both super excited and a tad nervous as I'm sorting gifts I've bought and thinking of those that need to still be purchased or made. I'll be ready for sure!

Thanks for your visit - and for leaving me a note so I'll know you stopped by to share my tall skinny Christmas book with me.

Enjoy your day!

The H of Christmas

I'm continuing to feature the tall skinny book of Christmas I've created for an ART swap - today is the H of Christmas. I used the very same technique that I described in my first page below. What a fun way to get yourself in the Spirit of Chrsitmas! Stay tuned tomorrow as I feature the R of Christmas. Thanks for stopping by and leave a comment if you will. I'm off to visit blogs this morning and hope to stop by yours. Enjoy your day!

The C of Christmas

I so enjoy doing books and ART projects right along with my sister, Jeri with her online group, An Affair with ART! These are my pages that spell out CHRISTMAS in a tall skinny book we are creating. It's a swap that you send 9 pages (one with each letter to spell out Christmas) and you receive 9 pages back to bind your own tall skinny book. I've had fun with these and wanted to share them with you. I chose a central background cardstock and aged it ever slightly with Tim's distress ink. This first page has a torn piece of Christmas music that was actually from a sheet of scrapbook paper. I added festive holiday stickers, the letter C, and images (Christmas memories from Heartwarming Stickers), a bit of gold german scrap and stamped the sentiment froma clear set sheet. I was pleased with my first page!

Stay tuned as I go through the 9 letters of Christmas that make up my tall skinny Christmas book. I appreciate your comments and come by often. Enjoy your day!

My Christmas Shop

One of the ART projects I'm involved with is to create a Christmas Shop row house for our Fun in the Neighborhood project over in ARTHaven. It was such a delight to create this fun little shop! The base is heavy cardboard which I covered with festive decorative papers. The roof was layered with paper that I used my Martha Steward punch on. I added greetings of the season along with a sign over the door and many Christmas trees, which I just loved! I made the door from a tag I had in my stash and added the poinsettia button as a door handle. I'm hoping shoppers can find a gift or two in my little shop!

Come again soon - I enjoyed your visit!

Enjoy your day!
