" J " FOR JUST ONE WORD..DT

 Hello everyone,

Wednesday is here and time for another new challenge over at LITTLE RED WAGON  and our lovely Imke is hostess and her theme is " J " FOR JUST ONE WORD..

I went for JOY as I'm keeping with Christmas as long as I can..

I started this one off with navy card and papers that I photocopied a long time ago.

and of course music paper..on the front.

Honey Bee stamps pinecone, my favourite.

and die cut at least 5 times each, the letters in the large size the word JOY

and stamped an old stamping up leafy branch and gold embossed it which gave it a lovely pattern.

Pine cones with their branch hanging down..

JOY with its branch and berries..

a snow bank and trees..

before the snow..

and after snow, more like a blizzard..

And done..

So do come and join us HERE

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll be back..

Luv CHRISSYxx

TAG IT IN RED AND GREEN..

 Hello everyone,

Now, these tags are not part of my monthly long adventure of getting Christmas stuff done, I made these yesterday because I am all done with my Christmas stuff and had nothing left to do, even orders are done, and it is too hot outside, and besides, who really wants to go outside when you have a craftroom..so I stayed inside and made these tags for Tag -along and ATCs challenge.

I started with white tags, I cut about 20 of the the other day to keep

the tag box full..and planned using up scraps of red and green,

 in stripe form, to fill up the tag..

and I did..but!

I got bored sooooo...out came all my scraps and chose as many red and green I had..

okay, went orangey as well, but red and green was predominate

love the trimming of them and watching the tag shape sort of come alive..

Two done..

Is there a tag here?

Yes, there is, and already for a trim.

then there was 6..

I die cut this beautiful tree from Marriane Creatables in a line coloured foil

and another slightly darker lime and one red glitter, the glitter is terrible to cut, hence only one.

Time for presents..cut in white..

Bows coloured with markers and edges inked with vintage photo distress ink.

Then each one backed with gold. red, or green..

Very easy to do and they look good.

So glued them all in place and now time for more tags..

Sentiment tags, 

stamped in black and rusty bells added with gold twine cotton stuff

which kept fraying and I became nauseated ..lol..

Finally got them all threaded, I put a little dot of glue on the ends  of the thread and smooshed it and that stopped the fraying and my bad temper.

a close up of sentiment.

This is my first tag and entering this one at Tag- Along  (and ATC'S )

All together and those trees are so shiny and pretty..

thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you tomorrow..
