9. Personalised Memory Matching Game from Max & Me
For my handmade gift I whipped up a little game of Memory Matching for Max. He has a great memory and loves playing these types of games, so I think he will absolutely love this little gift.
To make the game I printed out two identical photos of each person in Max's extended family. Then using my cricut I cut each photo down to a circle.
Next up I punched out another 24 slightly larger circles of white card stock and then another 24 (slightly larger again) circles from some scrapbooking card that I picked up at spotlight.
I layered the circles and stuck them all together to make the matching cards. So easy!!
I finished up by decorating a little round kraft box with some card & twine and I added the letter M (M for Max's Memory Matching) to the top of the lid.
Sweet and simple, I can't wait to play with Max once he's opened it up on Christmas day!
Now tell me, do you include handmade gifts each year at Christmas? What are you planning on making this year?
Super cute idea! Ramona is really into making things match lately. Mainly with her clothes, but I know she would love this.
ReplyDeleteI love that she thinks about her clothes, such a girl thing! The only thing Max thinks about when it comes to clothes is how quickly he can get them off so that he can run around in his undies!
DeleteThis project ended up looking great Tamsyn! I was impatient to see how close our ideas were (and they were pretty close!) I think Max will have a great time with this, it look like great fun and you made it sound so simple too.
ReplyDeleteFor Christmas this year, I'm doing a bit of both - some bought stuff (trying to keep it local though) and also some handmade stuff.
Thanks Sophie!! Sorry for stealing your idea, I think your canvas turned out amazingly though :)
DeleteAs a teacher this is a great gift! As a creative freak I lOVE it!! HAHA Thanks again for putting this together, there are some great ideas to refer to for gifts!

Thanks Cindy!! I hope Max loves it too :)
DeleteThis came together really well. I think Emmy would get a kick out of the face matching too. Might have to steal the cricut from you!
ReplyDeleteYou can borrow it any time you like :) I love how all the gifts came together too, so many talented ladies!
DeleteAs always, I love it! Eli will really enjoy this one day when he's old enough and when I make it. Thanks so much for the lovely idea and for hosting this super fun party. =) xo
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining in, it definitely was a lot of fun :)
DeleteThis is so sweet! I'm sure Max will love matching his family's faces! I wish I had a little one to make this for!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for hosting this round-up! I really have enjoyed reading all the ideas and being a part of such a great group of bloggers!!
Thanks Laura, I'm really looking forward to giving it to him :) I'm going to have a go at making your aromatherapy eye pillows this weekend, I'm craving anything that will give me a good nights sleep right now!
DeleteSo was I... A sewing meetup perhaps?
DeleteI like this A LOT! We're making most of our gifts this year. Birdsnest necklaces and teacup candles for the girls and coasters, a chutney or something (not yet made!) and a special edition Little Creatures ale for the boys.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenn! Sounds like you're going to be very busy, I love the sound of everything you're planning on making :)
DeleteCute cute ideas! Thanks for coming by to link up!
ReplyDeleteThanks Meg, my pleasure :)
DeleteThese are so cute!!! And a great way to introduce this game. You could even use photos of the children's favourite toys.
