Christmas Tags

This year I am more determined than ever to have beautiful packages to give.  I think the excitement is higher when it looks like a delight and treat before you can ever peek inside a gift.  So, here are some tags that will be highlighting many of my gift wrappings this year.

I participated in another Raspberry Suite Challenge from Dawn McVey's blog.  This one was indeed a challenge for me, but I am pleased at the final result.  Wouldn't it be fun to see everyone's ideas that are on the cutting room floor?  Oh, this card filled my table.  :)

Today I am sharing a hybrid card.  I LOVE, LOVE, love these papers and elements from Miss Mint's Birthday Boogie Set.  This is a tried and true set of papers and elements that can and will be used over and over and over.  And I am not just saying that.  :)

Best Wishes

Most of my readers know that I have found a new special connection with Papertrey Ink stamps and products.  My love has grown rather quickly over the past 3 months.  :)  I love all the inks, papers, stamps, buttons, and even the ribbon (although in my opinion the ribbon is not their stonge point).  For today's share, I am showing off a number of PTI colors and a card that I made real quick and decided to revisit.  I was very excited how this turned out and I hope you enjoy today's share.
