Christmas Tags

This is my second post today.  This time I am making Christmas tags.  And that is the new challenge over at Twisted Tuesday.  Your creation needs to be a tag or have a tag on it.  THE TWIST ~ What makes you smile. Show us on your creation. It can be a favorite stamp you have and cherish (use it on your tag), your collection of embellishments, stamps, etc, something crafty you received as a gift, etc....just don't forget to tell us and show us what it is that makes you smile when crafting!  This is the last challenge for this year.  The next challenge will start January 1.

 
 
What makes me smile is that all the paper came from my scraps.  I have such a hard time using it up, so this was a great way to use some of it.  These tags I made for my hubby.  He gives his co-workers a bottle of wine for Christmas.  Wine bottle is tagged on picture below.


Recipe:
Cardstock - All papers came from my scraps
Stamp - SU Teeny Tiny Wishes
Die Cuts - MFT Die-namics Christmas Ornaments; Sizzix
Punches: Martha Stewart Crafts Snowflake punch; SU Oval, Scallop Oval and Circle punch
Gems, Ribbon and Twine from my stash

I plan to enter these tags in these challenges:
