These book and card sets are created from a calendar my mother brought home from Germany in 1947. I scanned the scherenschnitten images and reproduced them. The books contain the fairy tale for the picture. The edges were torn and edged with ink to age them. These were way fun to do!

This set is really beautiful and elegant. Wonderful use of Handpainted Petites and the border punch. The crimped layer is a very nice touch. I think I saw this bookbinding technique on Carol Duvall. TFS. Linda

This must have been when we were on vacation and I didn't see it or I would have commented. This is just a special creation for sure, I'm sure it was fun to make. Great work!
