Christmas Paper Craft Projects 2011 (and 2010)

Are we finished with Christmas yet?  

Nope!

I think Christmas should be celebrated year-round!  

Or at least for more than just a month!  hehe  ;)
(I promise only one more post after this about Christmas...til next year)

I love these little crafts aka GIFTS that we made this Christmas,
so of course, I'd love to share them with you.

These projects were constructed by me but 100% designed by Rachele!


2011 Christmas projects

Here's the sad thing about making these cute goodies at Rachele's......

I like 'em so much I fail to give them away.

Note to self:

Share these with friends next Christmas 

and spread the love!

1.  Vintage Santa card, held up by.....

2.  ....a candy cane easel

3.  'Candy wrapper' box filled with Christmas MandM's

4.  Mini electric candle snowman

5.  Recipe card holder

6.  Pencil box

7.  Snowman candy jar filled with candy canes

8.  Reindeer food

9.  Treat box filled with Christmas kisses

Don't be surprised if one of these ends up on some of your doorsteps this next Christmas, 

because I just might love you that much!  ;)

What???  An easel made out of candy canes?  Too clever!

I love ALL of this year's projects, but this recipe card holder is my favorite!

I'll be using this baby year-round!

Soooo, yeah, I still have my projects from 2010 too because, 

like I said, I'm selfish and don't give them away.  lol

Again, these projects were assembled by me, 

but 100% the designs of Rachele!

2010 Christmas projects

This is one of my all-time favorite projects!

A cupcake kit complete with a cake mix, sprinkles & picks!

Can you believe that?  How much would a teacher or neighbor love to receive this?

A quick 8 1/2 x 6 Christmas album!  So creative & already in the page protectors!

I fell in LOVE with this medium-sized chipboard Christmas album!

It was my first attempt at making pinwheel flowers...I failed and had Rachele's daughter, Mikensee, make them for me!

Since then I have reattempted and have made dozens and dozens of these lovely flowers!  

Funny how we psych ourselves out!  :)

This mini Christmas album was made from a chipboard book and has several darling decorated pages!  Adorable!

Last, but not least, a glass ornament with a hand-stamped Reindeer message inserted inside....

snuggled into it's own precious box!  

Craft nights with Rachele always go into the wee hours of the night, 

but THIS particular class had me driving home at the wee hours of sunrise!  

Whoops!

It was worth every lost wink of sleep!

I love you Rachele!  

Thank you for sharing your amazing creativity!!!
