DECEMBER Challenge #29 The Polar Express

Yay!!! It's December!!! The most magical month of the year!

This month, the book is The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg.

Listen to the story on YouTube.

Let the story theme, the cover, the layout of the cover, the color scheme (USUALLY not just one color, unless the story permits it!) inspire you to get creative!!! This is a great book to inspire you to create Holiday projects!!!

This month, there is a guest designer, Rosie!!

Here's a little bit about Rosie.

~*~

I was born and raised in beautiful Bavaria (Germany), but have been living in France with my husband for over 40 years. I am mom to two boys and granny to two grandchildren, a boy (18) and a girl (13).

I've always loved crafting all sorts of things, but since I discovered stamping I only make cards, ATCs, bookmarks, tags and occasionally something more fancy. For these I like to use stencils, my Gelli plate and especially my alcohol ink markers and Distress Oxide inks. My style can be very different depending on how much time I have available or what mood I'm in.

Other than that, I enjoy hiking, playing tennis, watching good movies, cooking and having friends over for dinner. :))

Here's Rosie's beautiful creation!
