"Santa Is Coming to Town!" Part 1

I have created a visual storybook about the history of Santa Claus using images painted by Catherine Stenhjem. I made the book in an upcycled vintage Better Homes and Gardens Sewing ring-binder. The chapter dividers became my canvases for the story, and materials like old book pages, tea bags, fabric remnants, paper scraps and fussy cut ephemera from The Graphics Fairy worked as my art elements.

This was a commissioned work for Catherine Stenhjem. Thank you so much, Catherine, for giving me this creative opportunity to collaborate with you. I have so enjoyed working with your art!

Note: The camera shut off shortly before I finished part 1; see the 4 minute "ending" clip for the missing part. So sorry for the inconvenience.

Additional Materials used in the creation of this video came from:
*On Etsy: A Tattered Dream, Roxy Creations by Rachel, Dreamzetc., and Mrs. Cogs Crafts (papers, fabric trim, ephemera, etc...).
*TheGraphicsFairy.com (visual ephemera)
*Redleadpaperworks.com (stamped words)
*Bluemoonscrapbooking.com (Stamperia paper)
