Tag it!

The current challenge at Jingle Belles is to "tag it!"  I went digging and found some cute tags, but the two cards I have made.....used plain tags!  Anything goes!


This first one is using scraps that I have pulled form my scrap box!  The Santa is lifted from a up-cycled card. 


This one I think is my favorite!  Perfect chance to say NEVER THROW ANYTHING AWAY!  The tag used here was basically trash!  I embossed it with the wrong folder....I then used it to punch the star out for another project....it was in the trash pile!  I added some gold paper and another up-cycled card sentiment and some gold bling and here we are!  


Thanks for looking!

Blue Christmas!

Wow!!  Summer kicked my butt!  I'm finally alone with my crafts and able to create again!  Kids home with all their activities for the summer was great!  I miss having them around all day!  So I'm back at it!  Christmas cards to save my sanity in December!  Just found out that we will be having guests for Thanksgiving which will cut into the card making time as well!  Better get back on it!

Jingle Belles Rock's current challenge is "Blue Christmas."  You guessed it.....blue cards!!  I finished one and am working on a second to add to my stash!  


I inked a piece of white cardstock with  Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Stormy Sky and also Stampin Up Not Quite Navy.  The small snowflake is SU, the large (hard to see) is from Unity Stamp Co.  "Joy" was die cut from a sheet of glitter paper and the twine is from Bella Creationz!  Easy Peasy!
