Megs Garden Gate-Fold Christmas Book

When my parcel from Meg’s Garden arrived, I was so amazed at all the beautiful papers and products.  After several days of procrastination (I could seriously win a procrastination award) I opted to create a “gate-fold” Christmas book.   The Christmas book was a wonderful way to showcase the many gorgeous products.

The Meg’s Garden website has a massive array, of truly unique and gorgeous products.  The website is well worth investigating, you’ll get lost in a maze of wonderful products that will literally have you drooling in creativity.

With my Christmas book creation, I went on an amazing journey.  I will admit the book itself was a bit of a brain teaser, but once together ‘every’ little detail, and product used just fell into place without an effort.

“Pins of Jewels” – each piece is amazing, and include the most delicious crystals.  Meg’s Garden has a range of “Pins of Jewels” in a variety of sizes, including different elements – all just totally eye-catching and the highest of quality.

The smaller vintage pictures within the ‘papers’ I used in nearly all the tags. I ‘fussy cut’ finer details such as the roses or intricate pattern pieces and used these portions throughout the book pages and tags.   

The lace in my package, I hand-dyed myself and lightly inked the edges with Tim Holtz “Walnut” Distress Ink. 

Stickles was used throughout the book and tags, to add a Christmas-y sparkle!!

“Meg’sGarden” products used are:

The papers used in this project are all 12 X 12 – “Compliments of the Season”, “Vintage Santa’s”, “Red & Cream Lace”, “Victorian Santa’s”, “Santa’s Garden”, and “Christmas Morning”.

I seriously had so much fun creating this book, but somehow have to also give credit to the ‘products’, which were certainly my inspiration.  I am so looking forwards to seeing what arrives from Meg’s Garden next and ‘what’ my next creation will be ....

Hope this has inspired those that read my blog ..... till tomorrow,
