You are probably going to hear this more than once on my blog - I am a
procrastinator. Ginger's House has a downloadable sentiment: " I put
the pro in procrastinator". That always applied to my husband, but 47
years has rubbed off on me. Not in everything, mind you. But big time
when it comes to getting ready for Christmas. I am really trying to
change that. I have three out of the 27 gifts I need. Don't laugh!
That is a big deal for me! One thing I have started on is Christmas tags. I have always wanted to make cute and beautiful tags but run out
of time. I never use store-bought but the ones I make are 1 minute
tags - stamp to and from and cut in a shape. Trying to change that this year.
One of the challenge blogs, In My Creative Opinion, is showing Christmas tags for 25 days. So much eye-candy and inspiration - just what I need.
So here is the first tag, inspired by Jennifer Ingle's tag.
I printed a digital image by Doodle Pantry from the All Is Calm set.
Where all the printed ornaments are on the image, I added brads, gems, and colored pearls. The red star is a foam sticker. To keep the sparkle going, I backed the tag with blue metallic cardstock and added silver cording for the tie.
Here is Jennifer's beautiful tag
