My Skinny Christmas Book

When I was making my skinny book pages for a swap recently, I made an extra set of bases. Last night I put them together for a book. I'm not sure who will be receiving this book this year (or if it will be staying with me :::smiles:::). I have to bind it yet, but thought I would share the pages with you. I love having a bind-it-all now!! :) The pages are 3" x 6". Each pages has a glittered letter that spells out C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S. Enjoy!! Please click on the pages to appreciate them!!

"CHRISTMAS" letters skinny book mingle

This is my first skinny book and I am loving the dimensions (3 x 6). We were to make 9 skinny pages, with each containing one letter of "CHRISTMAS." The hostess will then swap them back out to us and we can bind them as we wish. I knew immediately the background papers I wanted to use from my new DCWV Christmas stack. I just wasn't sure of the image. After several trial and errors I found this great Santa Jumping Jack Puppet pattern.

So, here's the how-to on my pages:

• I cut the bases from cereal boxes and adhered the papers to the front and edged them with Stazon ink pads.
• On the back I used glue lines on the edge to stick down the vintage trim.
  
• I then adhered the slightly smaller papers to the back, stamped some black swirls and added the "be merry" greeting.
  
• After printing and cutting out the Santa puppets I ran them through the Xyron sticker maker. I can't imagine what I would do without that little guy!!
  
• I assembled the puppets and added them to the front.
  
• I also added some glitter shapes for some sparkle.
  
• The letters were cut using my Alphalicious Cart.
• Before stacking the letters I ran the top stack back through the Xyron so the tops were adhesive as well. I them applied coordinating glitter.
  
• Then the letters were adhered to the pages.
  
  

I must confess I am very happy with how they turned out. :)
