Christmas under wraps -pt1

Dearest Minions,
                             When I think of Christmas, I do tend to think of the Christmas story, Jesus reason for the season and co but I also think of Family and winter.
So here are my entries to Inspiration Avenue challenge  this week and Tuesday Taggers  and Anthing goes anything but a card both tags were inked with Distress ink in Blue Jean and flicked with water via a toothbrush. The masks (Tim Holtz) where then sponged over (family) and stamped over (3 wise men). In "Family I then stuck on a die cut and in "3 wise men" I stamped the main image.

However it does not stop there.... as some will know I get very ranty about Christmas wrapping paper (we throw away enough to cover Guernsey every Christmas.) I am going to show a few alternatives to wrapping paper over the next few days. Here is my first....
Two old road map pages have been taped together and then used to wrap up a box in the normal way, the tag I thought rather fitted the theme. Martha Stewart has some good examples of wrapping and recycling on her website and don't miss Thrifty Christmas for other blooming great ideas.

WRAPPING PAPER DOOM



Dearest Minions,

Every Christmas enough wrapping paper is chucked in the bin to cover Gurnsey (have a look at recyclezone for some facts and figures.) This is bollocks, just cover it in paper and tie a bow.

I have decided to wage war this Christmas, on wrapping paper. I am going to use bags (made and bought) and recycle old wrapping paper and packaging. I will try to use bags as much as possible so that they can be passed, on re-used, given to the ugly ect.


Above is an example of the pyjamas that are given immortality (ok maybe just a bit more time) by being turned into gift bags.
