Do you like to make tags??

It is one of my very favorite things to do....

each one is always so unique and different....

and you can use up some of those scraps too, that you have laying around!.

However, my post today is not about using scraps,

It's using some of my wonderful new digitals from Crafty Secrets

to make these tags!!

Each year, my sister, my daughter, my niece, and my Mom

have a "countdown" to Christmas, where four of us

buy each other 8 gifts, so you end up with 24 gifts a piece

and open one a day starting December 1st.

Sound like fun....oh yes it is....

we include my Mom, but we don't make her shop...lol

So I (we) get really creative with our packages, and one thing is our fancy tags!!

That is where my new Crafty Secrets digitals came into play.

I LOVE these new kitchen sets!!!!

For my tags I used Retro Kitchen and Kitchen Memories Digital Kit

these two kits are packed FULL of awesome kitchen digitals.

I have to tell you, I have nothing fancy to print my digitals with...

I use my printer photo program and/or Microsoft Word.

So give this a try, it opens up a whole new world of creating!!

I started my tags out with printing the digital papers in a 5 x 7 size

and cutting them to fit my bigger manila tags.

I added other bits and pieces, like those adorable little girls....

I just shrunk them down a bit for a perfect size for my tags.....

aren't they so darn cute!!!!

ALL of the paper items you see used on these two tags are from

either Retro Kitchen or Kitchen Memories Digital Kit

The other items are things from my stash,
including the snowflake buttons, tinsel and those candy canes, 
which I have had for at least 10 years!!

Take a peek at the Crafty Secrets online store
