I made a Tower and Turret!


This 24 x 4 inch white melamine  board I got at Hobby Lobby 50% off and really didn't know what I would use it for but I knew something would come up. Perfect for a Tower and Turret. It was really fun to do. The found letters say.."beneath the winking skies"....."and by sparkling eyes"..."And at home they are making merry."

    Martha, this is wonderful! I love the black bkgd. and it really sets the colors off! Sharon really has some awesome classes, doesn't she? I passed on this one. I am waiting patiently for DJ Petits' book making class coming up soon. Making big chunky books with all kinds of goodies!
    Love these Martha! It looks like you had a good old time creating this.
    Hugs, Sue
