Paper Scraping: Christmas Recap

I have been so bad about posting. So sorry but without further ado here is the rest of my Christmas.

The Christmas Card to go with my Mad Hatter Christmas Theme

I made 50 cards in total using the Stampin Up Christmas College stamp, Papertrey Inc's Tea for Two stamp set and die, a Mad Hatter image printed in color and "Warm Wishes" from Stampin Up's Hugs and Wishes set. I colored the main image with my Copics. These cards took FOREVER to make and next year I hope I go for a simpler design.

Gift Tags

I made the gift tags using again Papertrey Inc's Tea for Two Stamp set and die. On the back I used Papertrey Inc's Places Please stamp set to stamp the small teapot and their Simple Alpahabet for the "To/From". I tied these on the packages using silver stretchy string.

Pretty Presents under the tree

This year I was having such trouble matching a wrapping paper to my theme. One of these days I will plan a theme around my wrapping paper. But I doubt that will happen. I finally settled for some paper from Hobby Lobby since it was on sale. I never realized how well it really did go with everything since I was doing red's and green's. I bought four rolls of ribbon and used all 120 feet of it!

Close up of package

I get a little crazy when it come to wrapping. I had worked at Dillard's in the Customer Service Department at one point in my life and they have such rules about wrapping. I have applied the same rules to all of my packages ever since. And I love how wonderful all my gifts look.

Tea Pots and Tea Cups, Oh My!

I never did get a picture of all seven teapot stockings in a row. But it was a sight. Everyone of them was different. On my little side table I placed all these things pictured. These are some of the things my thrift store shopping got me. I had planned on reselling some of these but now I'm not sure if I can part with them. Well maybe some, but definitely not all.

close up of watch and key

This beautiful key is very ornate and it was purchased at a second hand store for $2.00! I love it and will probably never part with it. And the pocket watch was an ebay find that I won for $1.25! They were prefect accent pieces to my Mad Hatter Christmas.

Cake bites

I made these little cake bites using Bakerella's recipe. She is AWESOME! and wonderfully creative. Some of my cakes had "Eat Me" written on them. I didn't like my handwriting on them so I didn't take a photo.
