Superhero Masks

Thanks to pinterest, I came across this idea for superhero masks.  The idea and templates come from Cutesy Crafts...just print off your templates and get to work.  I love it when people are so nice to give a pattern on their blogs!!

Gag Gifts

This year for our annual family party, we did a gag gift exchange.  I made up these 2 gifts for us to exchange:

A spoon that had "Cereal Killer" punched onto it.  I tied it to a coffin box filled with cereal:

And a candy cane puzzle:

Iron On Winter Shirts

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out some shapes to iron on a couple of Kyla's shirts:

Teacher Gifts

This year for the teacher gifts, we gave these tins labeled "For Your Mistle'toes'" 

Inside the kids put some Christmas socks, lotion and nail polish.  I let the kids pick out the paper and help decorate the cans. Nathan chose to color his own paper, which was super cute. 

Truffle Boxes

John wanted to give his co-workers a Christmas treat.  I made a variety of truffles and then made these boxes using my Silhouette Cameo.  It was awesome to get the perfect fit for 9 truffles:

 Then I made a vellum print so they would know what kinds of chocolates they were:

 I used tulle to tie the boxes shut: 

 I then added a cute Santa tag that I made for gifts (Thanks to my sister for the fun afternoon making them with her!)

 

Glittery Ornaments

I had fun getting together with 2 of my best friends to make some glittery ornaments.   They are perfect for my garland above the doorway to the dining room.  Plus, I think of my 2 good friends when I look at them :)  They turned out super sparkly and the glitter is all on the inside, so I won't have glitter all over.

Sea Shell Ornament

I brought back sand and small seashells we collected from Turks and Caicos to make an ornament for the tree:
