Bonus

Here's a little bonus for you.

In Freehand Scraps December kit is a great piece of plaid patterned paper by October Afternoon. It's not actually from a Christmas line, but I thought it could work for gift tags just fine :)

I used my Slice and cut tags from kraft paper and then cut several different icons using the Fa La La design card. I planned on making just one tag. hee hee! I made 9! Couldn't stop--they were so fun!

Typed some sentiments after I used Maya Road Mist in metallic emerald and then put them together with a few embellishments from my stash.

I love how they all look together.

It won't be hard to give these tags away, especially since I plan to only attach them to presents of friends I know will appreciate the effort! :D I found some black and white houndstooth wrapping paper that I think will match lovely.

Speaking of matching....
how cute are these two?


I thought they went well with the Christmas plaid tags I had going on ;)

  3. Lex, The boys look so adorable in their matching shirts!!

    Sigh...gone are the days when I can get my boys to wear the same shirts. (I am hopeful though-and did buy two matching shirts-just in case they are up for it this year-LOL).
    I'm a workin' on my tags this weekend-along with my DD. It's been fun to put together.

  5. Your stuff is great! You don't know me I am just one of your fans in the blog world. Have you ever struggled with your Slice cutting 'wonky'? I have one and that is what it does. I really want to take your great idea and do something similar, but without my Slice working properly I can't.
