Snowflakes.....and Gift Tags!

Today I decided I am going to spend as much time as I can "crafting" and work on some challenges that I have printed out after blog hopping the past couple of days.


My first project was to create "Christmas Tags" for another Challenge being hosted by  Little C's.   After being the lucky winner of their challenge last week, I knew I wanted to try this one too.   This week the challenge is to create Christmas Gift tags and they have some adorable ideas posted on the site for inspiration.  You can find them HERE!


I thought this would be a fun project to start with and I started by cutting some shapes on my Cricut and then on my Cuttlebug.  I then embossed some of the layers with Cuttlebug Holiday folders and on two of the tags, I used snowmen images from Penny Black.  I LOVE to create a lot of my Christmas projects in non-traditional colors and always include some "Purple".  These are the three that I plan to submit for the challenge --


 

   I really had a great time with the Snowflake design and that was cut on my Cricut with one of the new Holiday Exclusive cartridges, called "When It's Cold Outside".  It's a limited edition for 2009-2010 and there are a  total of three cartridges.  I had originally bought two, this one with the Snowflakes and another one called "Snow Friends", which are all super cute snowmen.   I have now realized that I WANT them all, so I'm off to order the third one, more on that to follow.



     I have another really cute idea to do with these adorable snowflakes, that I have already cut from the same mini cartridge.  Check back later to see what I am making with them...!

  Happy Crafting!!

A Little About Me

Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
