12 Days of Christmas Tags Series; Day 5

Day Five...have you been following along?  Make sure you're leaving comments for a chance to win a set of one each of the 12 tags made this year.

I used a funky and fun Elf Made stamp set by AALL and Create.   I colored them in using alcohol markers and white pen highlights.

The chipboard tags and vellum sheet were gifted to me by two crafty friends. 

The vellum is glued only under the elves but tied together with a variety of ribbon and a large jingle bell!

Make sure to watch the YouTube video to get some tips on the tags!

TGIF; Thankful Friday #392

It's Friday and another week to be thankful! This week I'm thankful for the start of the Christmas season. I had a busy week with friends and other activities and for that I'm thankful. I'm especially thankful for the paint night I hosted on Tuesday and my family and friends that support my crafty craziness. 

What are you thankful for this week?

Club Scrap Layout With Multiple Photos

I bought some scrapbooking kits from Club Scrap and had fun thinking outside the box with them. My family and I do a virtual marathon during the month of November. Each year, my nephew creates a new logo and I make my patterned paper choices based on it. 

With that being said, these embellishments from Club Scrap worked out perfectly for this occasion.

I wanted to add blue so I did! The sneakers were cut with the Cricut. See how these two pages were created by watching the YouTube process video:

This annual virtual marathon is in its fifth year. We started it during Covid as a way to get together but separately to honor my nephew who passed during that time. We continue the tradition because we are building new memories without any extra travel. We create a challenge on the Map My Walk app so we can share photos, leave comments and track our walks. It's a great event that we all look forward to every year. If you have any questions, let me know.

I got 13 pictures on this spread!  Love that!

12 Days of Christmas Tags Series; Day 4

It's Day Four of the 12 Days of Christmas Tags Series and I've got a sparkly one. I purchased washi tape and snowman brads from Eyelet Outlet when I attended the Expo earlier this year. Actually, the washi tape was purchased two years ago!

The tags were customized and cut with the Cricut. The rest was super easy to put together. Watch the YouTube process video for instructions on how I customized the tag fronts and bases.

So easy but so sparkly! Watch the YouTube video:

What do you think about the brown and blue color combo? I like it.

12 Days of Christmas Tags Series; Day Two

Day Two and these are easy ones. Super cute, but easy. I stamped and die cut these simple gingerbread men and women. I also used my Creative Memories circle cutter to cut three different size circles to stack on top of each other.

I swear that I'll use the paper scraps generated from those for another project soon! You gotta hold me to it!

12 Days of Christmas Tags; Day One

It's that time! 12 Days of Christmas Tags Series is starting now. Before I forget, make sure you leave a comment here, my YT channel, Facebook and/or Instagram to earn an entry for the giveaway.  

At the end of the series, one person will get a set of one of each gift tag made this year.

Day One, I am using my Cricut to create a beautiful decorated jingle bell. As noted in my Design Space project, I took the design from another Cricuteer but made some changes.  You can find the file HERE.

These tags have four layers of cardstock and are very thick and sturdy. I added the white circles to the backs so I could stamp To and From. You could skip this if you prefer. 

Watch the YouTube process video for more details.
