Counting Christmas Tag Book


Today was a pretty exciting day for me.  Last April I submitted a project to PaperCrafts magazine for their Holiday Cards & More Vol. 6 edition.  It is a gift I made for my 2 year old niece and today, the magazine came out.  My project is on Page 125.


For this project I used Papertrey Ink Tiny Treats Christmas along with lots of their dies to make a little flip book with numbers from 1-12.  I colored all the images with either copics or spica glitter pens and used foam numbers for the corresponding tags.  I bound it all together with a binder ring and wrapped a little PTI ribbon on it.

Here is the finished project:      

Papercrafts asked us to provide a link in case youwant to purchase a copy:       .http://www.papercraftsmag.com/sip/special_issues

Wow!! Yay you! What a super project. It looks so cute. I had no idea this was coming. I think I subscribe to this mag, so I will be stalking my mailbox to see the actual print edition. I'll bet your niece will really love this project.

Hey, Cathy! Thank you for letting me know about the problems viewing the pictures on my blog! I was trying a new template blogger released yesterday, and I think that may have been the problem...I hope. I set it back. If you get a chance, will let me know, if it fixed the problem? You were trying to view it in Google Reader? Thanks again Cathy!
