Santa’s Helper & ‘Baby Lew’

My mom keeps meticulous lists & receipts each Christmas. Usually, those lists are in a crumpled envelope or notepad at the bottom of her purse. I used my Lizzie Anne Santa and altered this little band-aid tin for her to keep track of the grandkids Christmas stuff. I figured that the hard tin would be easier to grab hold of than another rumpled envelope.

There is one flat card with each grandchild’s name. This will give her some space to make a few notes. Notice the green card? My brother and his wife are expecting their 3rd child. They never find out the sex of their babies, our family is funny that way. For my lack of patience on things, like say, Copic Markers, I prefer to not know the sex of the baby til delivery. Call me crazy, but that’s how we like it…Back to the project, every Christmas that my SIL is pregnant we hang a stocking and give gifts for ‘Baby Lew’ ~ love either way.

So this was my first run with the Copics. (Actually had this ready to go before Beate’s challenge….how did that happen?) What do you think? This Santa was so fun to color. It was surprisingly easy. He begged to be glittered. Hey ~ speaking of Lizzie Anne ~ check out their Member Company forum over at SCS ~ lots of fun discussion on a variety of topics but especially your favorite Lizzie Anne stuff :). I cut the rectangle and circles with my Nestabilities. Some ribbons and a bit of patterened paper, made this a pretty quick little project.
