This weekend I'm teaching a class to make this Vintage Christmas Album. It will be generic inside so everyone can use it how they wish. I will use mine for all the Christmas cards and photos that I receive this year. I love to see how people change over the years, and use the older cards for reference because I forget a lot. I usually bind all the cards with a ring and just make a simple cover, but this year I decided to go all out, and teach a little technique to boot.
Many techniques will be used, but one is Tim's "Reflective Imagery" technique from his Compendium of Curiosities II Book, page 55, which also happens to be the challenge for Linda's CCIIC #30 as well...convenient huh?!? Since it has a vintage feel, I'm also submitting it to Hels Sunday Stamper challenge for "Vintage". Oh yeah...one more...The Blogger's Challenge is "Countdown to Christmas".
I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!
