The 12 Tags of Christmas With a Feminine Twist 2014 Day 8

I am back with my  Day 8 Tag at "The Classroom" 

for "The 12 tags of Christmas With A Feminine Twist".

The inspiration tag was designed by Dawn Woleslagle

and I found this one to be the trickiest one of all for me

only because of finding "the right" things to use.

Yes, you can use the tag for inspiration and go off in your own direction.

But I like the challenge of coming up  a similar tag using their techniques!

Funny how when you have "all this stuff" to use, you still seem to be lacking

"just the right" thing...lol!!

I had to get real creative for the word "Sparkle"....

I haven't gotten into the "mode" of purchasing too many of the word dies...

but to save the day was my "Explore".....

typed in the word "Sparkle"...

and up it popped!!

So anywho, this is my tag for Day 8!!

12 Tags of Christmas With A Feminine Twist 2014 Day 6

Here I am  again with another tag for Day 6 of 

"The 12 Tags of Christmas With a Feminine Twist"

I had this tag done when I had Day 5 tag done, 

but never had time to write up the post.

Day 6 tag was inspired by the tag made in "The Classroom" by Jean Manis.

I love, love this tag...love the sequins, love the colors, just love everything about it!

I used SU Tempting Turquoise for my tag base.

Su Paper Piercing templates (which I have had and never had even opened until now)!

A tree die from Impression Obsession, covered with sequins from my stash!

Some gorgeous ribbon and jingle bell finished it off!!

Well.....gotta run..I have some DT things I HAVE to get done tonight!!

See ya tomorrow with a couple more tags (I hope)!!

12 Tags of Christmas With A Feminine Twist 2014 Day 3

Here I am with Day 3 of the "12 Tags of Christmas With A Feminine Twist 2014"

that is going on over at "The Classroom"!!

This tag was inspired by the tutorial on Day 3 by Kittie Caracciolo

and you all know how beautiful her scenes are....

I went with a small "pink" poinsettia and "pink" wall paper for my tag...

It was fun to make and hopefully I will be back with a few others.

Go over to "The Classroom" and see what the DT has created so far and

see all the other creative tags that have been entered so far!!

12 Tags of Christmas With A Feminine Twist 2014 Day 5

Good Morning,

It has a been a busy and crazy week here...I sure hope it settles down!!

I did manage VERY early yesterday morning to squeeze in a a tag

for "The 12 Days of Christmas With A Feminine Twist 2014 Day 5"

that Ellen Hutson has going on over at "The Classroom"!

Yes, I know I still need to do day 3, 4 and 6,

but this tag yesterday morning worked well for a package I needed a tag for!

So, here is my Day 5 tag.....

you can see Julia Stainton's HERE

I did use the same "deer head" as Day 1

who would of thought it would appear in another tag

but if you go and check out the tags at "The Classroom"

you will see why!!

It is suppose to look like a sled...I kind of think it does!!

I used my Explore once again for the head, but I cut at least 3

before I figured out the correct size I wanted!

The Merry Christmas and the "branches" are both Cheery Lynn Designs dies!!

I will be back with my other tags hopefully this week end, 

I need to get them caught up...yikes!!

12 Tags of Christmas With A Feminine Twist 2014 Day 2

Hey All,

Here I am back with my 12 Tags of Christmas With A Feminine Twist 2014 Day 2

at Ellen Hutson's  "The Classroom".

Today's tag tutorial was created by Jennifer McGuire.

If you would like to see how this tag came about, then head on over to 

"The Classroom" and take a peek!!

For my Day 2 tag, I had to get real creative, as I have a bunch of stencils

but none I thought would work for this project!

I cut my own stencil using a Memory Box deer die "Leaping Deer"

I had a hard time getting the colors right as my so called stencil

wasn't too cooperative! 

I have some plain stencil material to cut my own,

but for the life of me I couldn't find it.....

I am sure as usual it will poke it's head out today, now that I don't need it!!

Being I didn't have an ornament stamp small enough, I just used some

bright little stick on's...they remind of the old "shiney bright" ornaments

I used a white embossing powder for the sentiment

and used a stylus to "dip dot" in my ink for the snow!!

This is a quick post, as I am sure like most of you, I have a million things to get done today!!

12 Tags of Christmas With A Feminine Twist 2014 Day 1

Rudolph With Your Nose So Bright.......

Now that I have your attention 

and have you not being able to get that song out of your mind

( love me for it..don't you..LOL!!

I will tell you about my project.

First, after having spent ALL of yesterday shopping for the 23 kiddos I buy for

and buying remote snakes (yes, you heard me right, remote snakes),

putting up with rude people, over crowded stores, crazy drivers

and coming home exhausted,

I decided I need a little fun time!!

Every year Ellen Hutson has her 12 Tags of Christmas With A Feminine Twist...

so far I have managed to join in each year.....

but this year I almost FORGOT!!!

Yikes, they are on day 3 and I just finished day 1!!

For each day a designer has a tutorial in "The Classroom"

and/or a video to go with.

These are so FUN....AND when you get done you have 12 awesome tags!!

Problem with that is, I never want to part with them, as I am afraid they will get tossed!!

Double yikes...DO NOT throw away my one of a kind, sure to be famous, handmade tags!!!

Oh, did I mention there are awesome prizes, too??

$25 gift certificate each day, just for leaving a comment..

AND

For the ones making the tags, a random draw for $150 gift certificate!!!!!!!!!

I am however this year biting the bullet for at least for the first 4 days of tags

and will be giving them away as I have a gift exchange on Friday to go to

and these tags are very much needed for those gifts..

My tag was so fun, and honestly it took a mere few minutes to put together!!

If you want to know how I did my DAY 1 tag..

go to The Classroom and find out!

but I will tell you what I used!

Watercolor paper,  TH Distress Peacock ink, red pearl, Lawn Fawn Sequins,

Ranger Rich Red Embossing powder, the deer head is from Cricut Explore 

and the rest are from my stash!!

What you can't see is the deer is cut from Shimmery White Card stock!

I "think" I will be back with at least one other tag today....see ya!!!
