G45 The Night Before Christmas

For a Secret Santa Swap I recently participated in I decided to make my present

a 4" x 4" mini book I made with Bazzell's Black Chipboard and

 Graphic 45's new "Twas the Night Before Christmas Papers".

Within the book I told this classic story by fussy cutting the pictures and

words from the pages to get exactly what I wanted.
