Happily Making Tags Today....

I got the idea to make tags that can be used as Christmas tree ornaments to give as gifts to family this year. We normally don't exchange expensive gifts, choosing instead to focus on the true gift of Christmas ...salvation through Jesus Christ!
I'm sending thanks to Louise at Kard Krazy for the lovely Tag Tuesday challenge colors this week. The combo of Green, Yellow and Brown really inspired me to get creative.....

 I used papers from Graphic 45 and Websters Pages along with some of my older Christmas stamps. The Jesus stamp is a 1987 Stampendous stamp and Heaven and Nature is a 1998 Hero Arts stamp. I also used some new Hero Arts stamps: Holly Flourish border is stamped in Forest Moss Distress ink at the top and gold embossed on the bottom of the tag; the Music Background cling is stamped in Vintage Photo Distress ink on the green circle.
Here's a peek at those old stamps....

~ Luke 2:78-79 ~

"Because of God's tender mercy,

the morning light from heaven is about to

break upon us,

to give light to those who sit in darkness

and in the shadow of death,

and to guide us to the path of peace."

blessings,
