Organizing for Christmas~Project 4: Looking for some inspiration?

This week, I am writing a series about getting organized for Christmas. I am featuring a few little ideas to help make Christmas organized and pretty for the CEO of Santa's workshop.....Mom.

Welcome to Project 4.

It's around this time in November when I start to think about what kind of handmade gifts I would like to tackle. This leads me to look around for inspiration....be it from blogland, magazines or my imagination.

It was my imagination that led me to create little mini-scrapbooks from altoid tins.

The idea came to me one day as I was taking  a handful of tins to the recycyle bin.

I thought the tins would make a great gift package, but what to put inside?

Being a scrapbooking teacher...naturally a scrapbook came to mind.

I have already shared on this blog the mini-scrapbook I made for fall.

However, I thought I would share the Christmas version.

The supplies for this project are:

An altoid tin.

A circle punch, a paper trimmer, and a pencil.

Scrapbook adhesives.

Scraps of cardstock, ribbon & embellishments.

Small Pictures.

This is a one to two hour project.

It costs very little to make.

It can be as colourful and fun as you like!

This little project would make a great gift as a brag book for grandparents, a gift for Aunts & Uncles or other family members.

Or a terrific birthday party project for a group of crafty girls.

Think of the possibilities~ you could use summer reunion pictures, pictures from that summer vacation,

pictures from a birthday party~there are so many fun ideas!

I love homemade gifts. I think they are the best you can give.

I am sure if you take a look around, there are things you can reuse or make into a gift.

I hope I have inspired you to create!
