Deck The Halls!

 
.....with boughs of holly!
Today is Tuesday and that means another tag! The theme this week at Tag Tuesday is "Deck The Halls" and they are making gorgeous tags using holly, berries, ivy, or any type of decoration for a Christmas tree, etc.
I made this tag for The Father Christmas Tag Swap at The Altered Paper and thought it would be perfect for today!

The image is from Joanna Sheen's Victorian Christmas CD and the background paper is from The Paper Studio. I made the hat pin and everything else was stash. Oh, the tag svg was a freebie from Bird's Cards.
Make sure you pop over to Tag Tuesday to look at all the marvelous tags they'll be showing this week!

Unique Crafters Challenge #10 ~ Christmas

 
Oh goody,goody, goody! I'm really getting into the Christmas spirit! I finished my shopping in August, which is my yearly deadline. I've done this every year for over 30 years. I'd much rather be enjoying the season instead of worrying over last minute gitfs. Most of my gifts are wrapped and my Christmas cards are made. Now I can just sit back, watch Christmas movies and drink hot chocolate!
This month we're celebrating Christmas at Unique Crafters Challenge. You can make any craft you like (and there are so many ideas for Christmas)! The winner will receive a $10.00 gift certificate from Cedar Chest Designs! Yay! Go check out all the lovelies they have. There are several freebie images and oodles of fun Christmas images. AND, if you use one of their images, you will be entered into an additional random drawing for a $35.00 gift certificate!


I made this Christmas ensemble for a Christmas tag swap. We always add little goodies to our package to send, so I made a cracker box and filled it full of fun crafting things for her to use on future projects. Click here for the free downloadable cracker box from Crafting Cachet. She has oodles of fun freebie downloads!
