With December 1st only a few short days away, I felt the need to stop procrastinating and get to work on some very much needed letters from Santa to my boys. I'm not sure what it is about this time of year that only good behaviour can be prompted with threats of "Naughty List" and the "Big Guy", but it was needed. I (with the help of Pinterest) have brought the Santa in our house to a whole new level this year. first I used "Official" Santa letterhead and created letters for each boy telling them why Santa and the elves are worried they won't stay on the Nice list this year and then outlined how they can make sure Santa will visit them again this year.
I then sat down to create authentique envelopes to seal the deal. I used word to ensure I have the matching calligraphy font and then got to work on the postage area. Using a postage die, ink and stamps I created my Santa stamp. I even put some distress stickles over Santa's face to make him sparkle and then added a red post paid and mailed stamp over the entire stamp and envelope to give it the look it had come from the north pole.
I hope the boys have as much fun receiving their letters as I did creating them. We have a Christmas card event coming up this Saturday, come by and say hi and maybe create something too. Space is still available.
