Hi everyone!
As Tracey McNeely isn’t running her 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year, I have created my own event using 25 days from Tracey’s event posts over the last decade, as I explained in this post.
Day 2’s inspiration is Day 14, 2014.
I loved all of Tracey’s die cut tags, especially because I have the Bo Bunny papers she used! So I knew I would have to use them too! I used dies by Ellen Hutson for my take.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
Last year, I played along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags for the fourth year in a row. I absolutely love this event as it significantly reduced the last-minute crafty stress that I used to have about by gift tags! Sadly, having started this annual event in 2011, Tracey has decided that she won’t be continuing with it this year. But happily we all have 10 years of tag inspiration on her site!
So, I decided to create my own event! I randomly selected 25 days from Tracey’s event blog posts from 2011 to 2020 and will be using those tags as my own inspiration!
So for Day 1, the inspiration comes from Day 20, 2011.
I loved that this tag had so many elements to it – the stamped kraft background, the patterned paper and the cutest reindeer ever! For my take, I used newer products by My Favorite Things and Simon Says Stamp plus a wood-mounted Stampendous reindeer stamp from 2005!

Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event again this year.
Day 26 is a bonus day with My Favorite Things as sponsor. As usual, the designers had come up with some amazing inspiration and I was particularly taken by the two tags by Carol using the Delightful Deer dies.
I used some of my beloved Basic Grey patterned paper for the base and then added the cute deer cut from glitter paper! This came together so quickly but I love how the deer just pops against that fabulous paper!
I’ve loved this challenge even more this year! It’s been such fun stepping outside my comfort zone from time to time and using a variety of my festive supplies – old and new alike!
Thanks to Tracey and all the designers who made this such a fun event!
And thanks to you, of course, for stopping by!

Hi everyone!

The sponsor for Day 25 was Pretty Prink Posh. I love this brand so much and I couldn’t wait to use the winter wreath stamp set for my tag using the inspiration provided by Jeanne.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event again this year.
The sponsor for Day 24 was Heffy Doodle and the team had many colourful tags – such great inspiration. When I saw the tree tag that Tallie created, I thought of the Tannenbaum cling stamp by Penny Black so decided to use that for my tag. The sentiment is from a set by My Favorite Things.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event again this year.
The sponsor for Day 23 was Penguin Palace. There was so much inspiration from the designers! I particularly loved Bobbi’s tags – all that texture!
For my tag, I created a base using my new Rustic Wilderness distress oxide and black soot oxide. I then applied Nuvo embellishment mousse using a Uniko stencil. Finally I added zillions of branches cut from a Poppystamps die and added a sentiment from a very old Hero Arts wood-mounted set!
Thanks for stopping by!
