8 Months 'Til Christmas Blog Hop

Welcome Back Crafty Friends!

Did you know there are only 8 Months until Christmas? You are probably wondering why am I counting down already and why am I rushing the holidays when we just started enjoying warmer weather?  

I can be a...
P-R-O-C-R-A-S-T-I-N-A-T-O-R

Last month, I joined a group of fellow crafters who wanted to get a jump start on their holidays cards. I NEVER have enough cards since I am so busy. I decided to try to plan ahead and create a couple cards each month, so I can have a small pile by December.

This month, I wanted to add to the Christmas card idea. Not only do I not have enough cards, but I need more tags too.

Here are my Christmas projects:
Die Cut
Materials:
Joys of the Season cartridge ~ tag cut at 3 1/2" and ornament cut at 2 1/2"
Jolly Holidays ~ wreath cut at 2"
red, green, gold, blue and cream card stock
Bo Bunny paper
ribbon
red glitter glue
blue and green ink
My Pink Stamper stamp

Digi
Here is a link for free Christmas digis...BirdCards
paper from Christmas scraps
green ribbon
green and red gems
Crayola colored pencils

Christmas Goodies:
Since we are counting down to the holidays, I have a gift for one lucky person. Be sure to include your blog address (if you have one) and your e-mail. The winner will be announced Wednesday, May 2nd.

The winner will get to choose either an Imagine cartridge or a surprise pack.




Here is this month's line-up:
Georgiana: http://carsonscricutcreations.blogspot.ca/ (That's Me!)

Stay Creative,
Georgiana

  1. Oh I just love your tags. That is something that I have never really got into but love looking at. You card is very nice too. Doesn't it feel good when a freebie colours up that nicely and looks awesome on a card?!

  5. Georgiana, I love your tags and cards. I have made tags in the past but never seem to attach them with the crazy rush at the end. Maybe I will have to start making them again :)

  6. Georgiana, I thought about doing tags this month too but then decided it will probably be for a different month. Your tags are great inspiration. Both projects are great!
