It's December! Time for giving and receiving. Decorating, wrapping, and surprises!
So what could be behind this festive red cover?
It's a "Twas" book for my friend, Sharon.
Remember when I made one of these last year? Well, Sharon wanted another...but with a twist. Literally.
Sharon provided this pretty vintage looking paper to cover the endpapers. It is full of all kinds of Christmas quotes and pictures, but Sharon wanted to finish the whole thought behind the word "Twas," so...
...I twisted the design to buy us just a little more room in the bottom corner. Then I used my handy-dandy Silhouette machine to cut out the words to finish the thought!
It turned out really nice, I think. The original red endpaper was in great shape and just the right color to match Sharon's "Twas the Night Before Christmas" dishes in her December dining room hutch!
Mission accomplished!
I like this new technique and when I get time, I'm going to try it again with more phrases.
Can you think of any good phrases you'd like to see? Which word would you fold and which would go on the endpapers?
