I always end up making an altered book for Robin's F4A challenge. I needed to make a holiday gift for a friend and did not have time to make the gift and a sample for the F4A challenge. This is my usual process of cutting the middle of a book out using a box cutter. Then I find a variety of digital images to create my scene and adjust the size before printing them out. Everything is colored with copics. I hope you have time in this busy holiday week to play along in Robin's fun challenge. TFL, Francie

FABULOUS! The snowman's scarf and the lights on the roof both caught my eye. Such a wonderful scene, so carefully created with great depth and dimension.

I went to John and Kathy's house for Thanksgiving; probably not the same John and Kathy, but their home is on the forest edge and looks like this in the snow!
