Christmas Wishes Shadow Box Book + Giveaway!
Filed under Art Projects, Christmas, Design Team, Giveaways, Newsletters
December 19th Update: And SALE UPDATE: |
Before I show off two (!) projects by Design Team Member Laura Carson, here’s a reminder that some Christmas sections are still On Sale!:
ALL scrapbook paper is on sale! That includes the:
– Christmas Paper Section (pads and single sheets)
– Scrapbook Paper: Single Sheets
– Scrapbook Paper Sets
ALL Christmas Collage Sheets are on sale! (that’s a BIG section!)
ALL Christmas Rubber Stamps are on sale!
We wouldn’t want to leave you without a wide selection of sale goodies to choose from, in case you need supplies to work on your Christmas Stockings (or some Christmas cards or gifts).
Ok.. on to the show! Laura has built a little box inside the Christmas Wishes Worn Book Cover and has turned into into a shadow box! (Clever!)
I love the little 3D chimney she built on top of the book (outside “the house”) that’s directly above the interior fireplace scene (with an amazing array of toys and stockings).
Visit Laura’s blog to learn how Laura built her scene inside a book cover. (And don’t forget to come back and enter the Giveaway drawing, because it includes EVERYTHING Laura used to make her Christmas Wishes Shadow Box Book!)
And… check out Laura’s subtle, sophisticated Edwardian Christmas Ornaments! (With some pink, mint and cream confectionery New and On Sale! papers you might not expect during this season.) Laura started out with a base of On Sale! Layered Chipboard Ornaments, images from Parfumerie #1 and Parfumerie #2 Collage Sheets, assorted embellishments and ends them off with sweet New! 1 Inch Mini Tassels. (Psst: more tassel colors, too.)
More new goodies are below (some in Laura’s projects, and some just good trims for a Christmas shadow box), and some are also included in today’s Giveaway!)
