{Prep Work}

Cover & back cover:

{Supplies needed: covered house, die cut scalloped fabric paper, felt alphas, doo-dahs and a clear piece of transparency (not included)}

1. Take covered house and adhere scallop pieces to the roof, so it looks like a house.
2. Creating the shadow box.  Place one of the patterned tags on the back side of the window so you have a backing. Now in each square place something, I used an acorn, buttons, leaf and I cut out one of the houses on the fabric paper. Now place a 2x2 piece of clear transparency over the window…and yea you have a shadow box.
3. Adhere a title of your choice. I used thankful….what I really wanted to do was have each one of my guest on thanksgiving write on the tag what they are thankful for and then I was going to take there picture and make the book that way…but thanksgiving is not here yet. I guess I will just have to do anther one. So instead it is what I am thankful for!
