Whimsy Stamps Challenge - Shabby Chic/vintage

The Whimsy Stamps Challenge this month is

Shabby Chic/vintage

I used this cutie from the Crissy Armstrong Collection

Mousey Candy Cane

I knew he would be perfect for my December Daily.

Also from Whimsy Stamps I used the Holly and Berries die, Large Leafy Flourish die, Layered snowflake dies, and the Just my Type sentiment stamps.

So far I have only have the front cover completed so I can't add the ribbons to the book rings yet which should finish it off nicely!

The chipboard album is Recollections from Michaels, it came with a cute mini album too.  

I have found with any book that I create that it is best to keep the covers as flat as possible otherwise you have huge problems storing them and find things get knocked off.  The dies are the perfect embellishment as they still add some texture but without the bulk.

The challenge information -

 3 Prizes - $15 gift voucher for the Whimsy Store, 5 digital stamps and a mystery rubber stamp!

...as well as random winners being chosen each challenge, one lucky player who has used a Whimsy Stamps image (rubber or digital) will have the opportunity to be a guest designer for a future challenge. If you have used a Whimsy Image and would like to be a future guest, please add GDT to your name when entering. The guest designer will be able to choose a digi stamp of their choice from the store to create their guest card too!
