Tag Tuesday on Saturday

It's Saturday morning.  I have already completed 3 loads of laundry, unloaded the dishwasher, planned some semblance of a meal to prepare today and have watched a NetFlix movie that had been sitting on top of the tv for over 3 weeks!  With those things out of the way now, I decided it was time to catch up on some blog browsing.  


As I was going through my list of blogs I follow, I saw that Louise over at Kard Krazy selected Valentine's Day as the them for Tag Tuesday this week.  And since I had just finished up the three tags I had been working on and off on for the past couple of weeks, I thought I would join in!


Here are my V-Day tags . . .

Stop by Kard Krazy and see the other tags bloggers created for Tag Tuesday!

Tag Tuesday

I was visiting my "regular" stops in blogland and saw Louise's Tag Tuesday.  This week she is asking that we create a tag using Christmas "leftovers".  So I challenged myself to get up from the computer and see how fast I could make a tag!


After grabbing a Christmas card (the children on the card are embossed) from the living room, I went to my craft table and grabbed the first things I saw and started the "leftovers" tag.


So here's my less than 5 minute tag.   Simple and quick!

• I tore the front of the card off and grabbed a 8" tag that I used as a template to cut my "new" tag to size.
• Grabbed the hole punch and punched a hole at the top
• Used my tim Paper Distresser tool to rough up the edges of the tag
• Took one of the blending tools that already had a dark color distress ink on it and ran it along all 4 sides
• The red and white striped ribbon was quickly threaded through the hole
• Had some Pearl Glimmer Mist on the table so I spritzed the tag to make it look like it was snowing.  Click on the photo to see the "snow".

• One of the Santa girl laser wood cuts was on the table so I grabbed the Glossy Accents and glued her on top.

Stop by Kard Krazy to see the other "leftover" tags that were created!

Tag Tuesday Challenge #32

Louise over at Kard Krazy has challenged everyone with a New Year's related tag this week.  


TIP:  I know this is probably nothing new to most of you, but I'll say it anyway - just in case.  To save $, don't purchase manila tags.  Instead, take used manila file folders and cut them to the size you want, punch a hole in the top and cut the tops at an angle (just like "real" tags).  And if you have some of those hole reinforcements around, "lick and stick" those on the tags as well! *smiles*
