A gingerbread house, candy canes, gingerbread figures, a nutcracker, rolling pin, and scattered sweets populate a soft pink ground dotted with sparkling accents and a delicate stitched border. The palette of warm browns, creams, and reds against the pale pink creates a nostalgic, whimsical mood that evokes mid-century holiday illustrations. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
