Christmas 2011 Goodies

Wow!  Where does the time go?  I've spent the past few weeks scraping away to create goodies for my students, room parents, administration, teammates, and last, but not least, FAMILY!  Here are all of my creations for Christmas 2011! 

I decided to continue a tradition started by my grandparents when I was born to pass along to my niece, Piper, in a slightly different form.  My grandparents handcrafted ornaments each year since we were born up until we were 18 (I think!).  So, I decided to create ornaments using scrapbooking techniques.  A good friend of mine suggested I make a box for her to store them in year after year, so here are last year's Christmas ornament, this year's Christmas ornament, and the box from different viewpoints!






I wanted to include something personal for Piper when she gets older, so here's the poem I created on the inside lid of the box.


Here are the ornaments I made for my family and teammates using glass balls, scrapbook paper rolled up, ribbon, and a tag (thanks Pinterest for the idea)!


And finally, I created cute little bags with yummy chocolates inside using all SU products for my room parents and administration (Thanks goes to my good friend, Erica for the idea at our monthly stamp club!).  And it wouldn't be complete without a little ornament attached.





Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Scrapin'!
