For Christmas this year we decided to
give a trip for our kids and not gifts, so to reveal this fun present to
our kids we had them each open 3 presents (the cards below) with clues
of where we were going, so 9 clues total were opened at an early
Christmas present opening with my parents. On each card I wrote a
portion of a sentence giving a clue of where we were going. It reads,
"For this Christmas our present to all of you is to spend our time
together having fun and lots of cheer. So bring your magic and your
swim suits for we are going to a very special place full of lots of
wonder and joy."
On
the back side of the cards were numbers stating which row the card was
in (to make it a bit easier) and a letter or two that they had to
arrange to spell the words "Great Wolf Lodge". The screams of
excitement were deafening as they figured out where we were going.
The cards each measure 4 x 4
inches, so once together it creates a 12 x 12 page. The colors of the
papers and the cute diecuts were just perfect for this
little project!!
For some of the cards I used the super cute "Let it Snow" stamp set from Susan K. Weckesser. The snowman and phrase were just a perfect fit for these papers.
So
even thought there are not true presents to be opened this year, our
trip is worth so many more memories than any toy can give.
