Family Christmas project


Every year my family gets together for our annual "Fish Night" a traditional meal using only fish as the main protein dish. In my extended family that can mean 60-70 relatives and wanna be relatives showing up at my cousin Barb's house for dinner. Every year I take pictures and the following year put the pictures into a special Christmas card that is sent to the family. This year I decided to use Karen Burnisten's Accordian Flip die cut to create a double sided photo show. Here's how it came out:


 The edition was 25 cards, but that meant creating 300 pictures that were hand glued onto each and every frame of 25 accordion folded sections spread across several weeks of construction.


One of the great things about this project was using up most of the horde of Christmas paper stashed in boxes from years past....whew... glad to make use of all that great paper.
 The image below shows one of the cards before it's all taped together.....
