    can you send me the mask template too, at the email address I sent you before.

    I am still having problems with the passort as i tried uploading it into photoshop at work and it wont let me copy and paste it across, i may end up hand making one
  • I got this (http://www.matalan.co.uk/fcp/product/fashion-to-buy-online//Snowman-Sacks/24834&resultsPerPage=100&attrList=Dept,brand) today (but the santa version) for £5 as the sack our elf will bring.
    Its big enough for 2 advents along with some other bits and bobs, also got the Raymond Briggs letter set.
    Has loads of things to do in it, including a letter to santa kit, think it was about £3-£4 i'll check later and let you all know, little eyes are around at the moment ;)
    is officially a GLEEK

    yummy-mummy-amy - Thank you, the mask is great, that's one more activity to do!

    knithappens - I created my passport from scratch using the basic microsoft works, I used the organised home passport and my own as a guide. All I did was create a table with 1 column and 2 rows, this is a double page of the passport. I then entered details and a photo, I put in an extra column with invisible line to split photo half and details half of page. Sorry, I'm probably not explaining this very well! I did a front cover using clipart of a fir tree that I printed on coloured card. I added a blank double page for visas. The only thing it hasn't got is the stamps, but then my elves haven't been anywhere yet! Not sure how I'm doing the stamp for this year, may draw one freehand, print one and stick it in. Or I had an idea I could print one out then trace the design on the reverse with an ink pen, then while the ink was still wet press it onto the passport page to 'print' it! I hope that all makes sense! I could try emailing it to you if you wish?

  • i drew the mask in photoshop last year, as i was stuck for something to do at last minute as the craft kits i had ordered hadnt arrived. my obys loved doing them. we stuck them to bbq squewers, so they could hold them, but you probably could put elastic on etc.

  • Found these personalised sacks on ebay, could maybe have your elf's name put on it? Haven't checked sizing, not sure if they'd be too big.
