Our FREE Christmastime Projects Bonus issue is now ready for your viewing pleasure. This is our yearly, special gift to you. Please share it with your friends...

Now that, is the spirit of the season if you ask me!!

I have a project in it that I just LOVE!!  It is a board book, that I turned into a fancy living room with a fireplace on the cover, but I cut through the book, so the fireplace is seen inside too.  And I made a tree out of rolled book paper.  It was so fun to make, and I think it will look lovely on my mantle or table this year.

I would love to have a fancy room like this, with real twigs in the fireplace, handmade stockings made from Melissa Frances paper, tied to the mantle with a bow.  And a "real" looking fire in the fireplace made with fusible fibers.

This is the inside.  What a lovely family room this would be!!  I used a lovely paper for the wall paper, more twigs in the fireplace and more fusible fibers for the fire.  The tree took me quite a while to make.  Rolling so many little pieces of paper, and gluing them just so.  The gauze on the bottom is the tree skirt and then the star on top.  I bought the tiny wreath from AC Moore for above the fireplace.

This is a close up of the tree.

I hope you are all enjoying the season, and getting ready for all of the festivities this time of year.  Thanks so much for visiting, and I hope you enjoy our FREE gift to you!!!
