25 Days of Christmas Tags & The Pink Elephant

Happy Monday, crafty peeps!  My dear friend, Tracey McNeely over at In My Creative Opinion, invited me to create a Christmas tag for her annual 25 Days of Christmas Tags with Tracey McNeely! If you haven't stopped by her blog within the past few days, you are missing out!  Tracey and her guests have been knocking my socks off with the fabulous Christmas tags they've been creating!

There's a new challenge up and running today, too, over at The Pink Elephant!   This week, we have a Winter Theme challenge and there's a festive challenge at Paper Issues: It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas!

I inked up a sweet sentiment from Lil' Inker Designs called Jolly & Joyful Sentiments and paired it up with the Joy Word Die!  That's not all of the Lil' Inker Designs goodness...I also used their awesome Folded Tag Die - Original as the foundation of my tag!  The vintage-styled and whimsical papers are Crate Paper's Sleigh Ride, the twine is Hemptique and the bells are from Jo-Ann's!

 Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!
