12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Touch - Day 12

Whoa!  I did it...I actually made 12 tags.  I am SO excited about this last tag.  The stamp set I used is a new one from My Favorite Things.  The second I saw it I knew I was a goner.  Two of my kids are avid snowboarders (the other is a skier).

It's so funny how my projects tend to morph into something completely unplanned.  I was really taken with the colors on Lisa's tag and was planning on creating a shaker box like she did.  I got so busy stamping and coloring and diecutting that the shaker box never materialized.  Clear droplets from MFT saved the day (at least as far as the challenge is concerned - haha).  My snowy scene is also helped by clear Wink of Stella on the goggles, snow spray, rooftop and trees.  I wish I could capture the subtle shimmer in a photo.

I know exactly which gift this tag is going to adorn.  Hope my daughter likes it.  :D

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  Thanks for coming along with me on the 12 Tags of 2018 journey.

12 Tags of 2015 with a Feminine Twist - Days 3 & 4

Let it snow!  Let it snow!  Let it snow!

I've been busy this afternoon playing catch-up with The CLASSroom's 12 Tags of 2015 with a Feminine Twist challenges.


The challenge for Day 3 was a mix-up challenge using Memory Box dies and a light blue, red and white color palette.  (One of my favorites - love that color combo!)  I haven't used my Snowy Tree die from MB nearly enough, but happily discovered that it makes a delightful tag.

On Day 4, the inspiration was Snowflakes.  I was completely inspired by Julia Stainton's tag here and initially thought I would do something similar, but oddly enough, the die cut circle was as far as it went.  :)  I actually used the negative from the stitched circle die and then a snowflake die (also Memory Box) over that.  Here's the tag I came up with:

Bonus discovery:  The snowflake die I used is pretty big, about 4" across.  When I cut it out of the circle, not only does it look like a beautiful, rounded snowflake, but it would also make a fancy sand dollar.  I love it when I can use a supply in a way that is totally different than how it was intended.

Yay, to a successful day!
