Merry Christmas tag



One more tag inspired by Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist, I'll go back to making cards one of these days.  Ellen's tag uses real wood birch, which at some stage I've had somewhere in my stash... but when I went digging, I couldn't find...  (if you saw my craft room you'd just smile and nod).  So I used a piece My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Christmas paper (that I bought in the post Christmas sales last year), a Quickutz Reindeer that's long been neglected in my drawer, the My Favorite Things merry die, some Studio Calico wood veneer stars, some vellum, PTI sentiment and a tiny bit of embossing paste for some additional stars (been using the Simon Says Falling Star die cut as a stencil).  And then because I've already proven myself a May Arts ribbon addict, I used two different color silk ribbons and added a small piece of May Arts burlap string.  I got to go skiing yesterday (big grin), click here for a photo.  And today there's another Victorian Christmas and Craft Fair in our town, plus a small *cough cough* amount of laundry from the motel. Off and running.  Happy Sunday crafty peeps.

That QK deer is awesome! I was hoping to work on the tags today but my room is such a mess, I'm working on that instead.
