On the 11th day of Christmas Caroline gave to you an altered journal gift.
She covered the journal and cut the large flower out of papers from the Moonrise collection. Then she attached the stickers and alphabet.
On the 12th day of Christmas SEI gave to you a note set. This gift is so quick and easy! All we did was wrap pencils with some of our favorite Moonrise papers. Then combine it with a coordinating sticky note pad and voila!
We hope you enjoyed our 12 Days of Christmas and it has sparked some creative gift ideas!
On the 9th day of Christmas, Kate gave to us a cute and candied card to share!
Don't forget to line your envelopes with cheer as well! It's all about the details.On the 10th day of Christmas SEI gave to you a wrapped hot coco canister with candy canes too!
Sure to warm neighbor's hearts and tummies with a simple gift! If you're going to use a glitter paper like we did, be generous with your adhesive.
Today we have some fun gift ideas to help get ready for Santa. Both of them were made by altering an inexpensive item.
On the 5th day of Christmas Lori Mancini gave to you a countdown chalkboard. What a great way to help little ones keep track of the days!

Lori said, "I picked up a small wooden chalk board available at most dollar or craft stores and altered it with the Kris Kringle line! This was so fun and simple to make and the options on this are endless..."

"Instead of counting the days until Santa Arrives you could easily alter this into a gift list or how about a indicator if your kids have been naughty or nice today? However you decide to decorate yours it is a fun and quick gift that will put anyone in a festive mood quite easily!"
On the 6th day of Christmas SEI gave to you a door hanger gift idea. Inspired by Lori's countdown, we decided to welcome Santa's arrival with an altered door hanger.
We started by painting a wooden door hanger black. Then we Mod-Podged the Santa die-cut accent and alphabet letters from the Kris Kringle collection on top. While the Mod Podge was still damp, we sprinkled glitter all over it.
We thought this would make a fun gift for a family without a chimney. Santa can't miss the front door with all that glitter reflecting off Rudolph's nose!

On the 3rd day of Christmas Audrey Yeager gave to you a fun monster journal gift idea. She made these for her nieces, who are 8 and 5.
Audrey explains,"I was actually inspired by the Make Your Own Monster iron ons and tried to incorporate this idea into journals. You'll notice that the one cover doesn't have a face. That's because all the face parts are on a transparency in the back of the journal, and there is another transparency over the cover."
"The girls can make whatever faces they want on their cover, and switch out pieces by putting them in the back when they are done! I also used the Monsterville Blurbs where the girls can make up a name for their monsters and put it on the cover."
"I put two 'secret' pockets on the inside. One of them is an envelope, and when you open the flap, another monster greats you inside! The second is a pocket where they can stash cool things!"
On the 4th day of Christmas SEI gave to you a game gift idea. Have you ever thought of using your scrapbook paper for games?
We created 3 games out of this one sheet of paper. Just cut the paper into squares (ours our 4 x 4) to make a puzzle. Then, download and print off the instruction sheet. Once the puzzle is put together, there are two more games that can be played with the completed puzzle. These would also be great paired with some My Own Monster iron-ons.
If you are going to be driving this holiday, you can also use these as travel games. Just skip the puzzle game and do the other two games so you aren't chasing puzzle pieces around your car.
