$40.00 Christmas Present Challenge

Who's up for the challenge? What is it you ask? For all you do-it-yourselvers, crafters and creatives alike why don't we use "stuff" we have to make Christmas Presents!

Rules: You have $40.00 to spend on all the materials, wrappings etc. The $40.00 is for ALL gifts. No matter if your making 1 or 100 gifts, that's the amount you can spend.

I'll post the gifts I've made after I've given them out, since most of my friends get notification of what I'm doing.

Keep us posted on what gifts you have been making for friends and family.

I'm off to screen print my Christmas cards on paper I already own!

You can see the progression starting with the last photo... (I will upload the pictures that got missed when blogger is fixed... Sorry)

We started with a general concept board, but that changed during the painting of the room. I do have another sample board depicting the plaid for the bottom of the wall.

We were going to keep the room in a pink and white theme, but then while I was painting I realized that I'm all for pretend, but this pretend wasn't right! The trees looked sick without leaves! Like something got into the water... so leaves it was.

Talk about a sophisticated look for 2 little girls!
