All Wrapped Up!

Steering slightly away from Cards for this week's extra, in the direction of Tags!...

'This week we'd like you to make 3 tags for your Christmas Presents using this list of words to help you; Holly, Gift, Snowflake, Ribbon, Tree, Silver.'

So what did I do? Well... :) They turned out to be a leeetle bit madder than I first thought! Jared has not been a happy camper this week and I am suffering from the ill effects of watching Madagascar (again) in the wee small hours of the night.

Here they are...



They are all made with bit of 'spare' wrapping paper (I say 'spare' as they are made from this year's wrapping paper but... instead of using leftover bits and pieces, I actually had to undo the roll wrap to obtain the bits. Otherwise it would mean that I am organised.) They will co-ordinate, once the presents have been wrapped (and some bought).

So, random bits of wrapping paper - mostly from Ikea, a few bits of ribbon, hardware - like staples, clips, brads and eyelets, and lots of doodling to fill in the gaps :)

The letters are rub ons - my fab auction bargain from ebay last week - 896 characters for the sum of two English pounds :) and they really work (unlike papermania ones grr!)

The button is from my other fab bargain last week, 3 really old tins full of yummy buttons and 2 new balls of faux fur wool for the princly sum of fifty pence in the Salvation Army shop :)



Hand cut holly, and present, heart punch for the top of the present and a quickutz tree (without a partridge) (can you tell I'm tired lol )

Right that's it. I'm going with Lythan's white sticky labels for my presents.....unless you'd like to make my tags for me too?

They are just fantastic Jo

Your tins of buttons are a real result. I guess we know what'll be on your next batch of cards then....
