Christmas Round Up

Here's some of my Christmas craftiness that hasn't been shared yet:

Decoration and tags for the Christmas packages

Brown paper packages, tied up with string?

Inside the packages, 3x3 canvas ornaments. Two ornaments have photos of my sister Donna's grandchildren, Gavin and Reece; the top one is for her, and the blue one is for their parents, my nephew Chris and his sweet wife Lauren. And of course the red one is my Uriah for Andy and Kellie!

I'll leave you with some photos of my family Christmas.

Pop-pop reading a story with Uriah. The perfect way to end a perfect Christmas!

I'm working on my Favorites of 2012 for my New Year's Eve post, now I'm off to Stamp Fever to do some Lawn Fawn Make 'n Takes.

Another Tag Design

My hubby cut lots of tag shapes out of wood to use for my next stamping class. Then I did some experimenting to come up with a workable design for a class to do. I posted the class tag on the previous post.

This is a tag I'll use on a gift, it turned out exactly as I hoped and imagined.

 My tag is a winner at Hero Arts!!

For this tag, I stained both sides of the wood tag with Walnut Stain Distress Stain. I love the deep rich color! The sentiment was gold embossed directly onto the tag. Then the tree was stamped with Jenni Bowlin Seed Packet ink onto white cs and cut out. I distressed it with Vintage Photo. To embellish the tree I strung mini red buttons onto gold cording and attached them to the tree with glue dots. Tiny gold gems then finished the decoration. I added a gold cord so this can be used as a tree ornament after it serves as a gift tag.
I found the gold cord, red mini buttons and ribbon at Stamp Fever.

Thanks for your visit, please leave a comment so I know you were here.

Lily Pad Cards Sketch Challenge

Lily Pad Cards has a new Sketch challenge and I got to break out my Nina B. designed stamps to make a Christmas-y gift tag.

So sorry for the short post today...I've been sick all week and I can't wait to crawl back into bed.

~ Philippians 4:4-5 ~

Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again -rejoice!

Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do.

Remember, the Lord is coming soon.
