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 5’s inspiration is Day 5, 2019. Click here to see the tag I made then!
This time, I decided to use Amy’s inspiration. The stamps I used are by Reverse Confetti and I used a circle die from Paper Rose.

Day 4’s inspiration is Day 13, 2020. I started playing along in 2017, so this is my first inspiration this year where I need to choose ‘something different’ – click here to see the tag I made in 2020!
This time, I chose Lindsey M-P‘s inspiration and used an older wooden stamp by Penny Black.

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 again everyone!
Next up today I’m playing along with this week’s sketch challenge at the CAS Colours and Sketches Challenge.
First I created a soft panel with regular distress inks and cut it with a rectangle die. I then stamped, coloured and cut the beautiful wreath from the Farmhouse Wreath set by Reverse Confetti. I’ve had this set for a while now but never got round to using it as it was a little smaller than I was expecting… but it’s absolutely perfect for the sketch this week! To complete my card, I added a sentiment by Sugar Pea Designs.

Hello everyone!
First up today I’m playing along with this week’s Color Throwdown challenge which has a combo of brown, rust, gold and blue.
I’ve been wanting to ink up and colour the beautiful Autumn Vibes clings stamp by Penny Black (40-786) for a while now and I thought this week’s combo would be perfect for the stamp. I coloured the image with my Twinkling H2O paints, but didn’t like how my gold paint looked… So, I turned to some glitzy golden paper, stamped and cut out the pumpkins and did some paper piecing! the sentiment is from Penny Black’s Pumpkin Stack mini set (30-855).
Thanks for stopping by!
