Wishes of Christmas Past - SHCG Leftovers & Interaction Challenges LO

Give cheer Give a Cheer
Favorite

This is my response to 2 Scrap Happenzz Critique Group Challenges – Sosumi_san/Angela's Leftovers Challenge (besides the background, all the paper here is leftover scraps!) & my “Some Interaction” Challenge to use interactive elements (the stockings are pockets that hold everyone's Christmas lists).

This LO also appears in the Nov/Dec 2008 issue of Scrap N Art ezine.

I don't have photos from Christmas 2004 – my out-of-state immediate family & I alternate holidays for our annual reunions & that was a “Thanksgiving year” (& DH's nearby parents celebrate Chanukkah). But I do have my family's Christmas lists from that year. The adults in my family draw names for gift recipients & every year either one of my sisters or I play the Gift List Manager of the exchange. Each stocking contains the wish list of each family member, along w/ who they gave a present to & who gave a present to them.

Journaling: “Seeing our past wishes reveals how we've changed…& what remains the same! Every Christmas, the adults in my family draw names to determine that year's gift recipient; we all get the kids gifts. One of us, as Gift List Mgr., collects wish lists from everyone & coordinates the exchanges; I did this for 2004. Here's my family's lists…it's so fun to peek into the past to see what we wanted then!”

I made a stocking template from clip art & hand cut the stockings; I used bookbinding glue for the stocking pockets even though I normally use glue lines/dots for page pockets (that would've taken forever to do!)

Excuse the imperfect scan stitching demarcation; the scan also cut off the right side & the star brad on the bottom.

TFL :0)
