Day 11 Tag

On the 11th day of Christmas, the design team gave to me...

A tag made with 11 buttons!

Hello Everyone! I thought I should get here to post this before the day is done! I've been knee deep in Christmas shopping and cleaning but I wanted to post today's tag!

I used the mini buttons from Basic Grey for my embellishments for this tag...these buttons are so cute! I sometimes lose them very easily but they make for cute, little additions to my projects.

Hope this inspires you! Watch for tomorrow's tag! The last one in the reveal!! Thanks for checking them out!

Don't forget to scroll down and see the Sassy Saturday Sistah! Axa created a BEAUTIFUL creation! I won't give it away! You should go look for yourself! Cheerio!

Day 8 Tag

On the 8th day, the design team gave to me...

A tag using 8 colours!

Today is my official day to reveal my tag!! This one is for my step-niece...she is getting a gift card from Old Navy or American Eagle (I haven't decide which yet!) so I coloured the image and added the lettering to the bags...my eight colours are: Brown, Orange, Blue, Red, Green, Salmon, Black and White...I thought this makes her kinda festive looking and like she's getting her Christmas pressies purchased! :D (Maybe I should make her look like me! Maybe that will help me get mine done!!!)

Hope you enjoy the tag! Watch for tomorrow's tag! Day 9!

It's funny! I used the same image for this tag (must be a Canuck thing, eh Marilyn!) I made a double tag...the cardstock is the circles on the bottom tag. And I used my DYMO label maker for the sentiment (I apologize to any Jewish people if I spelled "Driedal" incorrectly!
