Here’s my (Rebekah) submission for this assignment. I designed our Christmas picture for our Christmas cards. I really appreciate Mr. James giving us the ideas, and the guidance to do them.☺️

Ah, that’s great! So you all had already been working on this, before the assignment launched? Has Mr. Parris seen his gift yet?

[Loewen Family]

Question…would I be able to use the Lenspiration artist calendars I’m already making for this assignment? I am planning to give a bunch of them away, although it will probably be more like New Year’s gifts, or maybe later than that.🙂
I thought it was similar enough to some of the things mentioned in the assignment that I thought I’d ask!

[David Parris]

Yes, we got an early start with our Christmas plans.🙂 We have some little people staying with us for the Christmas season, and things will get pretty busy from now until Christmas, so it worked out well. 😃 My dad has seen the picture that we took, but he hasn’t seen it framed. The assignment is perfect for Christmas!! I was able to take my brother and his family’s pictures around Thanksgiving, and they used them for their Christmas card! ☺️ Lord-willing, we’ll do a photoshoot for a family this weekend for them to use for Christmas! Photoshoots have been the best Christmas gifts to give!

[James Staddon]

Yes, Leanne! That would be great.

[Loewen Family]

Yay, awesome!!

My sister and I designed these two-sided cards together. It’s been a blessing for our family to give them out in our Christmas cards and to those we meet.

What a fun assignment! I’ve been super busy and have not gotten to do the last several assignments, so I was excited when this assignment was launched.:) Earlier this fall I got to go to Maine with my mom and one of my brothers and we got to visit a couple of lighthouses including Portland Head! Since my dad really likes lighthouses, I decided to print and frame one of my pictures of Portland Head for him.
Here is the original photo. We have ordered the print, but have not gotten it yet, so I will send a picture of the finished gift in a later post.

Good! I had the same question as Leanne (about the calendars). Thanks!

Here are my submissions for this assignment. I decided to design some bookmarks for Christmas gifts, and I’ve attached the photos of the finished products as well as the originals that I used.

Here is my last photo. I really enjoyed doing this month’s assignment, and it’s always such a joy giving people gifts, especially gifts that I personally spent time creating.

Whoops! I forgot to mention that the two photos I submitted with all four bookmarks are actually front and back.
