As promised in my last post, here are more detailed photos of my altered 12 Days Of Christmas advent/list book. If you haven't read the first part of this project, you can go back
HERE.
Since I chose such a thinly-spined book, it is far from closing flat now that it is completed. But that's okay, because I made it to stand on my table as a decoration! Each day till Christmas I use clips to hold open that day's page and be reminded of all the things I have to get done. Since I am using it as a countdown to Christmas (
the 12 Days of Christmas actually starts ON Christmas Day),
my First Day of Christmas was Saturday, December 14th.
I've added a photo from each page; please click to biggify. Also, at the end of this post I have done a video showing many of the features since they are hard to demonstrate in static pictures.

I hope you enjoyed my project! It was so much fun to do - and I have to thank Anne at
Anne's Paper Creations again for her inspiration and tutorials on fussy-cutting and the tools / supplies needed to create books like this.
Happy Holidays everyone!
This is such a lovely treasured creation. Each page has amazing details. Merry Christmas Bliss...
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you as well.
ReplyDeleteMaureen, you have out-done yourself with both the book and the video. If I could sit on Santa's lap and tell him what I wanted for Christmas, it would be going to Maureen's house to play. A-mazing with a capital A!!
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy, you are so sweet, thank you dear friend for all your kind comments and support! It means so much to me! Happy Holidays!
DeleteYour book is incredible! Another fabulous work of art. The pullouts are amazing and I especially like the idea of writing down your things to do for that day. Just like Kathy said, but A-wesome with a capital A.
ReplyDeleteJust catching up on my replies - thank you Betsy! I have to find somewhere to store this until next year ... I definitely don't want to pack it away with the rest of the decorations! Happy New Year!
DeleteIncredible as usual Maureen!!! You do amazing work. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you JoJo!
