Vintage Christmas Tag

Made this Christmas Tag using a Christmas card I had received & kept from 2008. Scanned the front image &
sentiment from inside of card and printed on white cardstock.
Used Kraft cardstock for Base of Tag. Used The Paper Studio scrapbook paper for layer. Added a piece of Christmas tree from our former Christmas tree that would pieces would come off of and I put in a Ziploc bag to use some day like now. Used Tim Holtz Paper Distresser on edges for a more Vintage look. Added piece of tree with some holly and ribbon.

  1. Cute tag and great idea at that! Joan's Gardens is having a tag challenge this week - unlimited E - I won once and my name is in for a $100 drawing for her store at the end of the year. You might be interested in entering - I am working on tags this evening.
    Enjoy your day!

  3. Thanks Gail. I checked out Joan's Gardens site & Tag challenge. It is indicated that you have to use at least one item sold in her store to enter and what I used on this tag is not sold in her store. I do have the Tim Holtz Poinsettia that I think she indicates is in her store so perhaps I'll make one with that. I'm waiting to enter most of my Christmas Tags till Dec 1 when Tim Holtz Dec Tag challenge begins. I've entered a couple in his Nov Tag challenge.

  4. Sorry about that - I forgot - I did enter a tag at the cutie pie challenge but it requires a doily on the tag or card, project etc. I need to provide better info - sorry sorry! Have a nice evening - I am going to spend time with hubby and I might take my deer with me! LOL!
