Hi there!
I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year.
The sponsor for Day 24 was Right at Home. There was more great inspiration in the gallery and I particularly loved the tag that Tracey created for this day! As I don’t have many Right at Home products, I used a die from Impress Cards and stamp from Simon Says Stamp for my take.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my lovely American friends! I hope you are having a wonderful day!
We don’t have a thanksgiving celebration here in the UK, so I rarely use thanksgiving sentiment stamps – it seemed appropriate to do so today!
I paired an older Hero Arts sentiment with a Concord & 9th die for this card which is NOTHING like the design I had originally thought of! For one thing, that original design had yellow texture paste on a white background!! But when I accidently dropped my die cuts on some brown card stock, I love how it made the colour pop so I rethought my whole design! This card came together so quickly after that!
I’m going to enter this into the current Color Throwdown challenge which has a wonderful autumnal palette this week – yellow, orange, red and brow.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year.
Pretty Pink Posh was the sponsor for Day 23. Such fabulous inspiration from the DT too! Unfortunately, I don’t have any PPP stamps as I haven’t found a UK supplier, but I do have A LOT of PPP sequins so I knew I wanted to do a shaker tag. I was inspired by the cute purple tags that Amy Yang created.
For my take, I used the stamps and dies from the Hero Arts’ November My Monthly Hero kit and distress inks to create the tag. The sequins are from PPP’s beautiful Winter Sparkle mix.

Hi there!
I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year.
The sponsor for Day 22 was Stamplorations. Linda Walmsley was my inspiration for this tag – I loved how she created her tag on a kraft base!
As I don’t have any festive stamps by Stamplorations, I used one of my little-used Penny Black sets. Don’t know why it doesn’t seem to get much use – don’t you think the tree is fabulous? I didn’t have any red embossing powder for the sentiment so I decided to try my new red Delicata ink. Just look at that fabulous shimmer! Love these inks! I am so happy they are producing more colours!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
I’m popping in quickly with a late entry into a new-to-me challenge – the Male Craft Room challenge.
The theme of the challenge was paper piecing – something I haven’t done in YEARS! So when I saw it this evening, I ran into my craft room and got to work!
To begin with, I lightly blended some distress ink onto the base of my card to ‘ground’ the image. The large stamp is actually from a Christmas set by Krumspring Stamps and I used some of My Mind’s Eye paper mountain for the paper piecing.
To finish off the card, I added a sentiment from a My Sentiments Exactly set.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year.
The sponsor for Day 21 was Uniko Stamps. I don’t have many Uniko products, but I do have my eye on some of their fabulous stamp sets!
As I don’t have any Uniko Christmas products, I used stamps from Clearly Besotted and Penny Black for my take on Jane Taylor’s cute tag! I love how she put a wreath behind the tree – such a great design!
Thanks for stopping by!
