Altered Book Nutcracker Suite

Hi romantic fan's,

the time was right for a new christmas gift, she is also a great ballet fan as I and admired my altered book from last year. Perhaps so I think, it's a good idea to make a little surprise in addition to the tickets, which she becomes from her friend.

Mix from various beautiful stamps and scrapbookpaper - La Blanche + Graphic 45

icecicle, branches, snowflakes dies, embossing folder Sizzix (music notes)

punches, Distress inks vintage, peacock feathers, walnut stain, black soot

the stamp motives were painted with distress inks

Clara and her best friend the nutcracker

 motif was cut from a scrapbook paper (Graphic 45), 

 little rock ballet originated from a punched snowflake

I want to entering my altered book into the following Challenges:

Live & Love Craft's inspiration With Love

Winter Wonderland

Welcome dear scrappers,

Joy to you

Hi crafty friends,

this month's there will be no challenge, instead we have a

 special X-mas celebration month by SanDees&Amelies Steampunk Challenge

By now most of you should be in X-mas preparations mood and maybe Steampunk isn't your first choice of project to make right now. So we decided to do a cheer- and joyful "Christmas Wishing Month" instead.

There need no projects to be entered to win this month's prize - as we plan to save all our precious crafting time on preparing X-mas goodness with loads of bling, on shabby vintage delight, on baking cookies, Stollen, Plum Puddings, lebkuchen (= ginger bread) or wrapping up selfmade presents for our loved ones!

Just leave us a comment on this post in which you wish all of us (i.e. the players, the team and yourself) whatever you would like us to get for Christmas and the new year. 

Just one comment per person (otherwise we will have to exclude you from the draw), please! You will have time until the end of December to do your X-mas and/or New Years Wishing with us. 

I hope you have all a wonderful christmas time. 

May the spirit of the season bring you happiness and joy!!

Warm Christmas Greetings to all

Kerstin

 Your little nuggets of creativity, Artists Trading Cards, need to be 2.5 x 3.5 inches in size, and have a Christmas, Hanukkah or otherwise festive theme
You can create just one ATC, or a series,  a chunky ATC or an ATBs - Artists Trading Blocks

Yes, and again a new premiere, I've never ATC's done, oh, oh

I would say that must be tried now, however.

Entstanden ist eine kleine Serie im romantischen Vintagestyle, die von einer verzauberten Winterwelt, mit Feen, Wünschen, Sehnsüchten und Träumen erzählt.

The result is a small series in romantic vintage style, which tells from an enchanted winter world with fairies, wishes, desires and dreams.
