I have several pictures of different points of this book, I used Snow Tex all over the corners to resemble snow, I got it at Michael's.
I used the Wee Image from
Whimsy Stamps called
Winter Fairy, she's available right now, I love this image with this cute little birdie, I colored my image with Distress Re inkers.

My papers are from
Maja Design, these are a past Winter Collection, Still I love the Cold Blue and White tones.

Winter Letter Seals!!

I also used the
Vines Die Set to sit my flowers on after I gave them the Glitter treatment.

This is how it looks when you open the book, I filled it up with Peppermints, the vintage key was smothered with Crackle paint.

Corner angle of the Book Box, I hope you enjoyed all the pictures I shared and hope you take the plunge and make one yourself. These are very inexpensive to make you can get a good deal on these old books at your local Good Will Shop, Garage Sales or even the Library and I think they make a great hand made gift, you can fill them any way you want! Thanks for visiting!!
