Catchin' Up Christmas

I just loved all the projects we did this Christmas!  They took some time, but the results were beautiful.

First up was a Kaisercraft Advent Box

There was obviously a lot of detail to making this box.  We all used the same vintage Santa and CTMH background paper. All the ladies made their drawers unique.

This is a Santa Cigar Box that I made for a present swap Using Bo Bunny Candy Cane Lane

 

My final Christmas projects were made as gifts for my family

 

Night Before Christmas and Christmas Story Books were made for my son and daughter. 

Every Christmas Eve before they went to bed we read the Night Before Christmas and the Christmas Story. Those were such treasured memories for me.  I wanted these books to contain glimpses of those memories of Christmas' past and room for them to add their own family memories as time goes on,

 My final project of 2014 was for me Sweetie.

This mixed media contains pictures of us at the same age on Santa's lap.  Both were taken at the Sears that was the only game in town back in 1963.
