Team Christmas Party Gift......

At our annual Steph's Stampers Team Christmas party, we always do a secret santa.  So here's what I made for this year.

 

A Stationary Set.

 

 

Firstly......4 pegs, to use as clips or to hold together important papers.  The embellishment is made using 3 scallop circles and a button ......all held together with Crystal Effects.

 

And from the side......

 

Next is a pencil pot.......

 

And finally, a box of note papers.  This is a photo of the top.....

 

And on the inside......

 

And yes, I stamped each of those sheets of paper!!  All 200 of them!!

 

And here's a close up of the bow on the pencil pot and note paper box.

Christmas SAS....

I've just realised, as I'm prepping for the SAS tomorrow, that I haven't posted the photos for the cards from the last SAS in November.

 

Here they are...... 

 

 

 

Not sure what's happened to the last photo......sorry ;-D

 

Happy Stamping.....Manda

And here's the packaged ones......

Thanks to my teaching next-door-neighbour, I now have a photo of the packaged tags......

 

Colours again are Primrose Petals and Pistashio Pudding.......

Petite Pairs for the sentiment.

Christmas procrastination????......

Work is crazy busy at the moment, with reporting and cleaning and finishing up the end of year.  So of course that would be the perfect time to make some Christmas tags for end of year gifts for my colleagues - wouldn't it????

 

I made 400 of these tags......40 of each design and then gift packaged them beautifully for the staff.....though I did forget to take a photo of the finished product! LOL!  It was nice to see that one was used at our Secret Santa party yesterday. Hopefully they will come in handy at Christmas time.

 

Colours: Pistachio Pudding, Strawberry Slush, Baked Brown Sugar and Summer Starfruit.

Stamp Sets:  Lots!!!  Some retired sets but also some current......I've also tried to use non-Christmas sets in a different way.  (love a versatile set!!)

 

Happy Stamping.....Manda

 

P.S. Holidays in 2 more sleeps.....so stay tuned for my annual updating of the blog. :-)
