To enter, you must be a follower of my blog and comment on any or all of my 12 posts of tags. Each comment will earn an entry in the drawing.
Although this is not a photo of my desk, it is a photo of my floor covered with my Christmas stamps. I have a drawer full and I don't even remember what's in there. So...I dumped it! I tried to organize by type, snowman, holly, etc. Then I chose my stamps from there. I was so excited to see the postage stamp Santa set that I honestly never used before. In fact, I think the reason I bought them was only for the postage cancellation from the North Pole.
I used those stamp stamps (hee hee) to create my background. I randomly stamped them in white and tan on kraft paper. Once I was done, I cut the sheet into 2x4 tags and then used my MISTI to stamp Santa. Santa stamps are from CTMH. Then added 1/2" circles to the top before I punched using a 1/4" punch.
I love how these turned out!
Don't forget to leave a comment to earn an entry into my drawing. Go back to Days 1 & 2 posts to comment on those and be sure to follow along the next nine days for the rest.

ReplyDeleteOh brilliant Dorlene, love the tags. White and kraft, just amazing in terms of inspiration for me. Love the dumped out stamps, pretty much like Christmas when you have to go through the drawer each year to see what you’ve got!

I think I had some of those stamp stamps. Might be wrong but I did have some somewhere - now where did I put them?
ReplyDeleteLove your blog page background which sets off the pink perfectly.
