I loved the idea of using paper that would normally get thrown out! Now, I've saved all the insightly scraps of if wrapping that can't be reused as art materials! :)

We've also used some self painted paper after watching another class. This also gave my 2yo (who can't get cut and paste) a way of participating! :)

I'll admit my paper isn't the most fancy one, because I don't usually buy extra paper. ^__^; And obviously presents from others will only be opening in Christmas proper. ;)

I bought a whole set of hole punches and ran with it. :) Also, our printer ran out of toner, so I had to hand letter.

Three candles. My fam's part Japanese and 4 of anything are just a total no go. ^^;;; Other than that I loved this design for self painted paper. It just looks gorgeous. o^__^o

I totally messed up the spacing of the letters and had to add exclamation marks. lol

My favourite design are the presents, but they were a bit complicated. I'll maybe attempt them on my own, later. :)

Thank you so much!
