Home For The Holidays

Hi!
Are you excited about Christmas?
I sure am.
I will be home for the holidays this year and
the family will come to me.
Much better than driving 6 hours each way
in icy cold conditions.

How about you?
Are you going to be home for the holidays?

I made a tag for you, using one of the free stamps

that Gecko Galz

gives out every day on their blog!

and I named it
"Home For the Holidays"

Isn't the house sweet?

This was SO easy!

I printed the house image on

white cardstock three times

and then cut out the

1. house

2. tree

3. mailbox

4. wreath

I cut them all out and

coloured them using dollar store markers.

I coloured the plain white tag with

a blue Ranger stamp pad.

Then I layered the house, tree, etc

with dimensional tape to give the tag

a bit of a 3D look.

I think it worked!

Here is something weird.

I pulled a white pencil out of my pen bag, and was able

to give the snowdrifts some dimension.

Then I looked at the pencil so I

could tell you what it was

and it's

EYELINER!

Why is there eyeliner in my pen bag

and who uses white eyeliner???!!!

But I digress.

Add a couple of stickers on top of the tag

with the words, and a piece of

washi tape on the bottom.

And some glossy accents on the window

A ribbon finishes it off.

I really had a good time 

making this tag.

Give it a try!

And thanks for coming by!

December Tag

Today it is my turn to show you

a tag that I made using

Gecko Galz

Christmas products.

I overlaid a

digital stamp from the

Christmas Tangles stamp set

(which I absolutely LOVE!)

on a piece of white cardstock.

I printed it out and coloured it

using Rangers stamp pads.

Then I printed out the reindeer

(I named him Julian)

on white cardstock, printed him out, fussy-cut him 

and coloured him with dollar store markers.

I added some Stickles glitter and

 Glossy Accents

on the decorations.

Here is a closer look:

Isn't it fun?

A ribbon and two wordart stickers complete the tag.

Oh, and Julian's necklace is Liquid Pearls.

I really had a good time 

making this tag.

Give it a try!

And thanks for coming by!
