Sentimental Sundays Challenge #24 - Tags

The Sentimental Sundays challenge this week is tags. I don't know why, but I don't like making tags. They are so little but some how they intimidate me. And (don't tell anyone) I don't make my own gift tags. I use store bought ones. *gasp* I know, I know... So when I read the challenge this week it took me a while to decide what to do.






Do you see my tag? It's there. Here is a better look.




What do you think? I really wanted to use this cute Snow Girl image that I won from Paper Cupcakes a while ago. (And it allowed me to get 1 more Christmas card completed!) I kind of like the tag now. Some one can keep it with the card or they can pull it out and use it as a gift tag or a book mark. Multi- purpose - imagine that.

I hope you will join us in the Sentimental Sundays Tag challenge. You can use any products you would like as long as it is new, fits the theme, and has a sentiment. While you are at the Sentimental Sundays blog, you can download the free sentiments provided by Ann Vento of Raindrop Echo Designs. (Check out her new stamps for sale at Whimsy Stamps. Too cute!)

Don't forget there is a DT call going on at Sentimental Sundays. You have until 10-18-10 to enter.

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you enjoy the rest of the week end.

Supplies:

  • Stamps: Snow Girl digital stamp from Paper Cupcakes, Made of Snow from Papertrey Ink
  • Papers & CS: October Afternoon Very Merry Sing the Carols & Fill the Stockings DP, Papertrey chocolate & white CS, Georgia Pacific CS
  • Inks: Close To My Heart chocolate

I'm right there with ya Cheryl! They intimidate me to!! But I love this card and I love how you used your tag! Great idea that someone can either use it as a tag or a bookmark! I love this image and you've done a great job coloring it! TFS!!

Karin said...

I'm not so good with them either...This is a great way to merge the tag thing with what you are comfortable with! Super sweet card and great papers!

So cute! Thank you for playing the Karber Weekly Challenge :)

Dorcas said...

I'm with you on the tag thing..when I found out I had to do one as DT on DDCC I panicked. I never seem to have room for a tag on my cards and then what do you DO with them??? Well I have made it my personal project to add a tag as much as posible to my cards until I'm thoroughly comfortable with them! lol
You did a fine job, Cheryl. :-)
Thanks for taking on the challenge at DDCC!

I think it's a fun idea to include a tag on a card. Cute holiday card.

I like to make tags but have no use for them since we don't exchange gifts in our family. If I get in the mood to make a tag, I just make it long so it becomes a bookmark.

Very cute!
