Mini Christmas Tags And "Rejoice" Christmas Mini Album

These are two smaller

tags I created on 4.25" x 2.125" kraft tags from Hobby Lobby by The Paper Studio. The paper is Graphic 45, the gorgeous red flowers are by Petaloo and the stars are Artisan Chipboard from Pink Paislee.

Now for a few more pages
from my Rejoice Christmas mini album. Did you notice that the pages are alternated with kraft, black and white cardstock? You might also be thinking that you've seen the design of some of these pages before, which you would have if you visit my blog regularly. The basic pattern for this album is the Simple Treasures one by Laura Denison that I posted here in October. I just love this style, so I carried it out in the Christmas theme.

I really thought I could get
through this album today, but it looks like I'll have to go with one more post... just too many photos to show you.
Have a wonderful weekend, friends!

Thanks for stopping by!

"Rejoice" Christmas Mini Album, Longhorn Pens And A Christmas Tag

This is the Christmas 

mini album I created a few weeks back. It takes so long to photograph these, that I kept putting off doing it. I'll show you the front and inside covers today and get into the body tomorrow.

I used Kaisercraft's Just Believe

and St. Nicholas collections along with My Mind's Eye's All Is Bright.

I'll give you a more complete 

list of supplies on the final post, but the cover includes an Idea-ology Ornate Plate, Prima Serenity flowers with one little bloom from Petaloo.

The Penmaker received

a big supply of Longhorn steer horns and turned some of them this week. Here are a few that he finished today. Isn't it funny how many different colors and looks he got. I never know what he's going to come up with.

Now, I've just got to

sneak in one more Christmas tag.

I love these two darling

little girls in their nighties, and with their hair color, they could have been my sweet Carrie and Sarah a few years ago.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Tags "The Sugar Plum Fairy" And "Nutcracker Sweet"

Gloomy, grey weather here...

certainly not photo taking friendly. I made this tag with Graphic 45's Nutcracker Sweet collection... so adorable and perfect for fussy cutting, as are most of G45's papers. The variegated seam binding was in my stash and blended so well, although I don't think it shows in this photo.

I've been doing lots of

layering with this year's tags and am very pleased with the results. If they're going on a gift, they might as well be a part of that gift. My oldest daughter has been saving the ones she and her family have received for the last couple of years and puts them on her tree as ornaments.

More fussy cutting on

this tag. I also added several TPC Studio red rhinestones for some glitz.

Thanks for stopping by!
