Christmas Tags - A pink Christmas

I think I'm in a pink mood. I've been making a few Christmas tags and cards and they all seem to have the same thing in common, Pink.  Here is a very layered tag that I haven't decided what to do with next but it's pretty so I thought I would show you.

Three Silver Balls Challenge

My sister, Brenda, and my niece, Aerin, and I are doing a challenge together.  We each were given three silver balls. Theses are fill ins for flower arranges, jars or whatever.

They look like this:

 

 

They are about two inches in diameter.  We have to decorate each one the same, keep on for ourselves and mail the others to the other two in the challenge. They have to be received by Christmas. I will post a picture of all of them when I receive them.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving

I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

The Funkie Junkie - 12 Tags of Christmas

Linda's third tag for The Funkie Junkie's 12 Tags of Christmas is a beautiful tag. At first I loved the frosted blue color and the crackle on the snowman but really pulled me in is the grid material in the background.  I decided to use the grid for the whole background.

 

I also painted the tag in purple with white pearl paint on top to give it that frosted look.  Then I pulled out my jar of snow and added that to the tag. In the close up below you will see I used glass bead texture cream in the background for added sparkle.

 

 

 

Have you joined the challenge yet!

Go over and take a look at everyone's tags!

The Funkie Junkie - 12 Tags of Christmas #2

I was able to finish a couple of tags for Linda's 12 Tags of Christmas.  Her second tag inspired me to try Tim Holtz riveted patchwork technique. Its one of those techniques that I didn't think I can use but once I tried it on this tag it gave me more ideas for future projects.

 

I decided to add string art to the gears, snow to the branches and pink for a pop of color. I die cut from a manila tag a small easel (Tim Holtz and bought from Linda's store) and attached it to the back so it can stand on its own.

 

Here is a close up of the gears.
