Hi Crafters,

 

I have been dying to reveal some exciting news that I have been sitting on for some weeks now... I was asked to join the 'As You Like It' Design Team! I am so honoured to be part of this fantastic team of crafty ladies and so here is my first official DT card for the challenge.

Well, did you guess my favourite colour?

Red has always been my favourite colour, even when I was a little girl I always liked red things. I love the warmth and vibrancy of this colour and maybe I'm a little bit fiery by nature too, you'd have to ask my family about that :/

So back to the challenge, our sponsor is...

Santa Christmas Tags

Hi folks,
Hope you all had a great weekend.
Yesterday I posted my first Christmas tags creations of this year and I've been busy this morning making some different ones.....

 

 

I bought this lovely Santa stamp from Creative Expressions and I couldn't wait to use it and I think it turned out ok. The construction of the tags is the same as before but this time I added punched holly leaves and tinkling bells to the ribbon bow. I'm really pleased how these look. There is a space on the back for writing your message and a red twine loop for attaching to your gift. These will also be in my Etsy shop.
Here is a close up view...

My creative juices are flowing now I can think of lots more ideas, it's just having the time to fit it in, lol.
Well I hope you enjoyed my little blog post for today, I would love to have a few more followers stopping by but I have only been blogging a month so it's early days.
Happy crafting everyone.

Lorraine
