Merry Tags!

Happy Holidays, Ya'll!  Well we're 2 days from Christmas! OMG can you believe it! This year has just flown by for me.

This weeks Belli challenge is to create a card, scrapbook page or project using tags. OMG...What a cute idea and the perfect timing for me! My friend Holly found this wonderful tag set on SCS so I decided to case it a bit. It's not exactly the same but it's the same concept. Here is where the original idea came from.

I made a tag holder that holds 8 little gift tags. The images are all from shirleys2girls holiday collection. Here is the front of the holder. I made a cute little belly band to hold it closed using a shirleys2girls image called Christmas Jollies. The paper is DP from stampin up that I had and I combined that with baha breeze, real red and old olive. My cute little reindeer was colored using copics. Are you ready to see the inside?

Here is the inside view of the holder itself. I made 8 tags using 4 different images. Now for a close up of the tags.

Here is a close up of the tags. I used from shirleys2girls, Cheers, Fruitcake Angel, Shopping, Mouse Dancing and one that I forgot to photograph called Holiday Penguin.

So what do you think? I just love how this came out. I was going to give this as a gift but I just can't part with it. LOL!

Supplies Used:
Stamps: shirleys2girls digi images
Paper: neenah classic solar white, DP, real red, baha breeze, old olive
Ink:Samsung All-In-One Printer 
Accessories: copic markers, MS Snowflake punch, rhinestones, ribbon, circle regular and scallop nestabilities

Now that you've seen my tag holder, you need to head on over to the Belli Challenge Blog to see all the lovely Belli Ladies inspirations! We have a wonderful guest designer this week too. Her name is Brenda Turner and her blog is http://stamp-it-up.blogspot.com/. 

I also wanted to remind you if your interested in working with some fun ladies, the Belli Challenge Blog has a DT call right now. You have until January 3rd to aaply and you can get all the deets HERE.

Digi Hugs,
Debbie

BRRRRR....Baby It's Cold Out There!

This weeks Belli challenge is to create a card, scrapbook page or project for using Flourishes.

For my card this week I chose a digi image called Star Handler from Squigglefly. This is my first image from Squigglefly and I LOVE snowmen! OMG...He's just the cutest thing ever. Our challenge this week was to use flourishes on our card and boy that was a quite a challenge for me. I didn't quite know what I was going to do but I knew which image and colors that I wanted to use. I found these rhinestone flourishes at Michael's and thought they would be perfect with my little man. I used my ek succcess punch to create snow mounds behind him layered in grey/white/navy. You can't tell from the picture but his star is glittered as well as the ends of his scarf. Do you like him?

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Squigglefly Star Handler Digi Image
Paper: neenah classic solar white 80lb, DP Hobbylobby, navy, razzberry
Ink:Samsung All-In-One Printer 
Accessories: copic markers, MS Snowflake punch, rhinestone flourishes, ek success punch

Now that you've seen my card, you need to head on over to the Belli Challenge Blog to see all the lovely Belli Ladies inspirations! Mr Linky lives over there so don't forget to link up your project once you're done.

Digi Hugs,
Debbie
