Tags for Christmas!!!! Yes - Christmas!!!!

I try to create my posts for the whole week on Sunday.  I do most of my crafting on Saturday and Sunday because let's face it - once I sit down on the weekdays - I'm not gettin back up.  My point is  - the likelihood of a Christmas card isn't good, but we have tags!

Thank you Diane for the Christmas tags.

They are adorable aren't they?

And thank you Anastasia!  A Christmas card!  Yay!  And not just one, but 4!  The paper is from a paper pack from The Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby.

Thank you for stopping by the blog.  Tune in next week for a new theme - butterflies.

Have a great day and where ever you are be there.

Galatians 6:9  Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Let's Play Tag!

It is still a week of tags.  I like making tags for presents, but I also like using the 'tag' to spruce up a scrapbook page or card.

I made this card for a friend who made me a beautiful wooden box to hold my finished cards.

Here is a project using a tag on a card:

I cut out the bear tag with my Cricut Explore.  The paper is from Simple Stories.  The googly eyes are from Joanns.  The sentiment is from a Cardztv set.

Here are some Christmas tags from Anastasia:

Thanks for stopping by the blog.  Tune in tomorrow for Christmas tags.  I know - it's not a Christmas card, but it's Christmas related.  lol

Have a great day and where ever you are - be there.

John 15:13  Greater love has no one than this:  to lay down one's life for one's friends.

Tags - You're It!

I got some scrapbooking done this past weekend.  I was supposed to go to a crop on Saturday, but it was rescheduled due to inclement weather.  The same reason it took so long for my amazon.com order to be delivered.  We've been dealing with inclement weather all week.  So I took advantage of it and didn't leave the house this weekend.

Here is a two page layout that I completed.  And I used a tag!  So it fits in with the blog theme for this week.  I cut the tag out using my Explore and inked the edges.  I used it for journaling.

I used a collection from Bo Bunny to create the layout;  as well as, templates from Kiwi Lane.  The snowflakes were cut out using my Cricut Explore.

Thank you for stopping by the blog.  Tune in tomorrow for WOYWW - the world's largest weekly desk hop.

Have a great day and where ever you are - be there.

Epheians 1:9 - 10  He made known to us the mystery of his will according to his  good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfilliment - to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

Tag! Yep - it's a week of tags

This week the theme is tags.  I usually only make tags for gifts, but this week I am expanding my tag making to include scrapbooking and cards.  Hopefully one of my design team will make a tag or two.

But in the meantime I've made a tag using my Cricut Explore.  Then I took my Die Hard stamp and die set from Stamps of Life called Kitty 2 Stamp.  I stamped the kitty and die cut the kitty.  I used more stamps from the set to make a background on the tag.  I embossed it with clear embossing powder and then inked it up with Tim Holtz Black Soot ink.  I used red ribbon through the hole in the tag.  I found a pattern paper in a stack from Die Cuts with a View called the Pet Stack.  I matted that in black.  I placed the tag on the pattern paper and pop dotted the kitty up on the tag.  The sentiment comes from the Stamps of Life set, too.

Thank you for stopping by the blog today.  Tune in tomorrow for more tag projects.

Have a great day and be where ever you are - be there.

2 Corinthains 5:14 - 15  For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.  And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for hem and was raised again.
