This year I was lucky and received some stunning 'bought' cards - far too good to throw away so I'm determined to put them to good use in creating new versions for next Christmas. I don't recycle my beautiful hand made ones - those are to treasure!
This time I've recycled a tag shaped card which just happen to fit perfectly with our new challenge at My Time to Craft which is TAGS.
I cut the original tag shaped card in half matted it onto gold mirri and then matted onto red on a large 8" by 8" base card. Peel offs and a holly border punch add a little interest to the front of the card.
For the inner I used an image from the inner of the original card cut out mounted onto white and then added a stamped sentiment. In the words of my big buddy Max - bish, bash bosh job's a gud un!

Have a fab weekend. I've got my fun Grandson here so may be doing some messy crafting and am bound to be shattered by the time his mum picks him up again.
