Way back in Oktober, my friend Astrid from http://astridsartisticefforts.blogspot.dk/
showed a kind of tutorial, about how to create a wonderful book "adventure".
Click the link and se her amazing autumn book, it is totally stunning:
Thank you my dear Astrid, for your step by step tutorial, I hope it was ok,-
me lending your methode - xoxo

I got so inspired and so in love with trying to create one myself, but wanted
to do a christmas version.
And here is the result , a winter wonderland of snow and glitter,
girls sledging and deers and a rheindeer passing in the background.
You can see how the book is folded and then decorated after.
The little family is a die cut from Memorybox ,
and the flower string is different pieces strung together,to make an icy appearance.
I am not sure about the beautiful image, so if any of you know
from where it is I will love to hear from you.
This is one of the few pieces I have created for christmas, apart from cards,
it is now in my sitting room in a window !!
Have you created christmas pieces for yourself to enjoy?
If not I hope you will have time to do that!!
It is raining and storming again, and I`m happy to be inside,
and to be able to send you all warm sunday and second Advent greetings.
Much love and hugs
Dorthe

Oh Dorthe, this is absolutely stunning!!!! I am so very happy that my little effort inspired you to make this (and thank you for linking back to me). Your Christmas book is absolutely amazing!! So much beautiful detail, I just love your deer and the whole way you have put this together!
I still really want to make one for Christmas, but am not sure I will manage it as my family is arriving in 6 days time and I still have so much to do....
Hope all of your Christmas preparations are going well and happy 2nd advent to you!!!
Much love
Astrid
Hello dear, what a fabulous book art! Love your beautiful take on it. A true Christmas treasure.
Here it has been storming and pouring with rain too, but everything is much more calm now.
Wishing you a happy week, hugs from Holland :)
Å, Dorthe, dette var virkelig nydelig. Jeg har gått glipp av flere innlegg her her, ser jeg. Jeg har ikke vært helt i form på flere måneder, så jeg har ikke vært så mye rundt om på bloggebesøk. Nå kjenner jeg at energien begynner å komme tilbake, heldigvis.
Ønsker deg en fin kveld videre.
Klem til deg, min venn.
Dear Dorthe,
Your Christmas book is so beautiful and such a lovely idea. Love the reindeer and the pretty vintage photo.
Thanks for sharing this and will go and check out the tutorial.
Have a wonderful week
hugs

This is just beautiful. I saw Astrid's book folding creation and it to was stunning. Someday I'm going to try this, I love the pieces you and Astrid produced. I have a lot of "someday's".
Hi Dorthe, LOVE your creation. What a gorgeous display for Christmas and all winter long. The details are darling. Thank you for sharing the link to Astrid's post. I visited and said hello and enjoyed seeing her wonderful creation too.
Such inspiration visiting you and thank you so much.
Hope you are continually feeling better. Thank you for stopping by and wishing you a blessed week.
Hugs, Celestina Marie
What a great creation!!
This is such a fun folded book display. My Grandma used to make wonderful folded book displays yet I have none and no photos. December Delights Dorthe Dear...
Ах, Дороти, направила си прекрасна коледна книга! Идеята е страхотна, напомня ми на стара децка руска книжка. Толкова е хубаво...
Поздрави и приятна седмица.
Hvor er den smuk kære, så fuld af eventyr og fortællinger - elsker det snehvide look
Your vintage book display is incredible Dorthe! I love the deer and girls, the stars and all the glitter, you have such patience to create these beautiful paper projects! Stay warm and cozy friend!
That's very beautiful, my dear Dorthe. It's a great decoration not only for Christmas but the whole winter time. I'm happy to see that you found some time to create something for yourself.
Have a wonderful week, sweetie!
Mange kys og knus ♥,
Julia
Oh wow this is just gorgeous! You did a beautiful - why are we surprised - job and it is so festive. xox

Oh my dear Dorthe what a stunning book you have created all with the most inspirational Astrid's guidance! It is amazing! So many pages and decorated with the most inspiring Christmas decorations and that deer family is so very beautiful.
I can just see it sitting on your window sill surrounded by all your
other Christmas decorations.
Hope you are keeping snug and warm all wrapped up this Wintery evening.
It must almost be snowing there now??
Sending my love and hugs on the coming snowflakes,
Suzy
Dorthe,
I Love your book! It is so pretty, like all of your creations. I saw one of these used as a place to insert and display Christmas Cards that are received from Friends and i thought that was a clever idea. Yours has so many accents, it wouldn't need any cards to adorn it further!
hugs,
Betsy
Oh that is so sweet! What a fun project to add more Christmas spirit to your home! I love the vintage pages and the deer scene. Wonder full!
Hugs,
Terri
Oh wow this is just stunning!! I love the reindeer and the whole book is just lovely !

I will enjoy others holiday creating :)

This is beautiful!! I love glittery things against aged book paper!!
Your Christmas book is absolutely beautiful,dear Dorthe.Have a lovely evening.Sending hugs and love,
Marie
You are so clever, Dorthe, always ready to try new things and always making such a wonderful job of it. The altered book is amazing. I wonder how long it took you to fold all those pages so neatly. It is so beautifully embellished, the deer at the top are especially lovely. I hope your health is still improving, so that you are properly well for Christmas. xxx
OH, DORTHE - I LOVE THIS!!!! Absolutely WONDERFUL - yes, my friend, you ROCK! XOXO Tanya
Utterly gorgeous, Dorthe! I loved Astrid's autumnal creation, and your frostily sparkling Christmas version is another favourite! What a wonderful piece of decorative art this will make in your home this year - perfect!

I love it Dorthe - it's so adorable. The contrast of the book pages with the beauty of the deer makes it very special indeed. Bravo!!
