2017 Nephew Ornaments

As per pervious years, I helped my sister with ornaments of her boys to give to family. My 5 year old nephew wrote Merry Christmas. He did a great job I think! I can't wait to compare next years writing after a year of primary school under his belt.

Photo of the three of them I took (which was a little challenge as they are 5 years, 6 months & 22 months)

2017 Teacher Ornaments

Phew! That is how I am feeling right now. My kids have all finished school for the year and sport (thank goodness as I need a break) and now are on 6 weeks of school holidays. It's been a busy week around here with my son graduating from primary school, card making classes and last minute Christmas shopping. Have you finished your shopping yet? It's not too late if you need a gift voucher from me for Stampin' Up! products or classes.

These are the ornaments I made for my two primary school aged children to give to their teachers.
I found Bella's ornament hard to photograph with the gold causing a slight glare...

Stampin' Up! baby shower card featuring large letter framelits dies

Nothing says baby shower card more than a stork don't you think?
Knowing that the upcoming bubs is a boy I made use of a blues and greens to create the stork card.

I used Mayton font for the "A new baby is coming" with the word baby skipped and die cut using the large letter framelit dies from Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack.

2016 Nephew Ornaments

With my sister last year, we came up with a present ornament idea for my nephew/s to hand out at kinder and to family. I was pretty slack taking a photo of this ornament, hence why it has waited until 12 months later (I had to get it out of my Christmas decorations box).

Back of ornament

I made a mini pizza box to give/house the ornament in. It's a shame Stampin' Up! didn't have the mini pizza boxes they have this year, as I could have used that instead of a crumb cake handmade one (would have been much quicker!)
