Something Merry

Posted on | July 18, 2010 | 11 Comments |

Did you have a nice weekend? After yesterday’s fun day at the market we continued on today with me sleeping in, hubby and Jovie napping together while I cleaned, and M playing with her friends. Then we ended the day with live music at the pub: A bit of Rolling Stones, Beatles, Scorpion, etc. and then sushi rolls (salmon, cucumber, crab, cream cheese, and green onions) at home with the windows open so that we could still listen to music from the pub. I think this was one of my best tasting sushi ever!! Weekend score: 10/10!

Here’s a little tag, a Christmas tag. The Shabby Tea Room has a Christmas in July challenge. I LOVE Christmas projects! It’s my favorite holiday and not just for the presents! I usually start on my cards around this time too but this year we’re doing photo cards. I figured since we’re far away our families and friends would enjoy our mug shots more than just a card. Also I can whip 100 cards out in like 15 minutes and sent it off to WHCC for printing (this is where I print my digital scrapbook pages and professional quality photos).

The tag’s pretty simple. Everything is just a part of My Mind’s Eyes Christmas embellishments cut-out. Then I added some ribbons and buttons to make it more interesting and festive. I didn’t go with the traditional Christmas colors. It’s just me… I’m not traditional {::SMILE}. Oh, do you see the stamping that I did? I used Mehndi Medallion again from WPlu9. I think it’s one of my new favorites!!!

I hope you all have a great one!!

Materials:

Tag: I can’t remember… it came in a package with different sizes
Stamp: Mehndi Medallion from WPlus9
Pattern paper: My Mind’s Eyes
Accessories: PTI buttons, Annie42 (Etsy) twine, Olive Manna (Etsy) ribbons, Jo-Ann’s rick-rack and lace

Oh, I just LOVE your tag! This is gorgeous! Love the shape and dimension you gave this with the elements going over the edge of the tag base, and absolutely adore the pop of orange you added with the ric-rac and button. Fabulous, fabulous work! thanks for sharing this with us at TSTR.

What a cute tag! It definitely needs to stay on the tree as an ornament! Sounds like a great family day, nice!
