31 Fun and Festive Christmas Collage Designs printed on one side of perforated paper

Jessica Mazurkiewicz brings her signature style of collage designs to Christmas Time. As with her other coloring books, the designs in this book show multiple images that overlay one another that all deal with a single subject (for example, nutcrackers, ornaments, or bows.) At first glance, it seems that the designs may be repetitious but when you look a little more closely, you can see that while they may have a similar shape or subject, they are all quite different as well. I purchase Springbok puzzles that have a similar feel and really enjoy those as well. Coloring lets me put my spin on how the items should look. As Christmas is my favorite time of year, I am always looking for fun crafts to do that celebrate the season and this book is a great one for a single person or for a family to share.

The designs are printed on one side of a good weight perforated paper . The binding is glued and the designs stop well before the perforations. Each of the designs include a frame around it to give the colorist a definite stopping point this saves me time and ink and provides a more finished look to my project. With this book, the frame is made up design elements to add to coloring fun.

All of my markers and gel pens bleed through on Creative Haven paper. Coloring pencils work well. I generally do use markers and gel pens, so I either remove the page from the book or I place a piece of chipboard, cardstock, or heavyweight paper beneath the page I am working on to keep seeping ink from ruining the next design.
